With the emblematic “10” and signature of Diego Maradona on the dial, Hublot has conceived a special King Power equipped with chronograph movement distinguished by two central hands that offer the wearer quicker, more efficient readability. The two needles can be seen in a single glance: the first indicates the seconds and the other, especially designed for football, indicates the time elapsed in each 45-minute half of a game.
Diego Maradona’s passion for Hublot watches is well known, which is why Hublot signed a partnership with the legendary sports figure in March 2010 to create the first Hublot Maradona limited edition: the Hublot Big Bang Maradona. During the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, Diego Armando Maradona could be seen sporting two Hublot Big Bang Maradonas, one on each wrist for each of his daughters. The Maradona watch in black and blue is a special watch made for the super football star.
