Usain Bolt collaborates with Hublot on a signature watch

Having honoured soccer with the "King Power Maradona," the watch brand Hublot is celebrating the world of athletics with the "King Power Usain Bolt," this time in honour of its Jamaican ambassador.


Usain Bolt collaborates with Hublot on a signature watch

Conceived in partnership with Bolt, the model boasts high-performance movement and several nods to the famous sprinter.

The King Power Usain Bolt watch features mechanical chronograph movement with automatic winding and a central seconds hand. With a diameter of 48 mm, the case is made of micro-blasted black ceramic.

The dial is overlaid with the silhouette of the sprinter in his signature "lightning bolt" pose. The design incorporates colours of green and gold, symbolizing the Jamaican flag and the runner's racing shoes.

An original detail: the adjustable strap is made of the same leather as the shoes Bolt wore for his world record-setting 100m and 200m runs at the Olympics Games in Beijing.

The King Power Usain Bolt is available as a limited edition of 250 watches.
