Only Watch 2017 : BIG BANG UNICO SAPPHIRE USAIN BOLT FOR ONLY WATCH

Only Watch 2017 : BIG BANG UNICO SAPPHIRE USAIN BOLT FOR ONLY WATCH

Since 2005, Hublot has been working alongside ONLY WATCH to support the courage and determination both of children suffering from Duchenne muscular dystrophy, and of future generations, and so that, one day, research will triumph over this disease. Is there anyone who symbolises victory, courage, determination and the desire to excel better than Usain Bolt?

For the 2017 edition, Hublot has created a transparent watch out of sapphire, one of the most difficult materials to machine. In choosing this material, it has sought to convey a message - that of pushing limits ever further, always believing that they can be exceeded or overcome. A watch that embodies hope and the desire to win. Inspired by one of champion Usain Bolt's favourite models, the Big Bang Unico Sapphire Usain Bolt for Only Watch is emblazoned with the Jamaican sprinter's trademark gold and vibrant colours. A symbol of victory to adorn the wrist.

To fully underscore the commitment of Hublot and Usain Bolt to the Monegasque Association against Muscular Dystrophy, and to illustrate the notion that it's the time you give to a cause that makes the cause so important1, Hublot will organize a meet & greet between the winner of the bid and the fastest man of the world, Usain Bolt.
