Hublot Big Bang Unico Chronograph Retrograde UEFA EURO 2016™

The UEFA Euro 2016 championship begins on June 10. Many Americans aren’t football (soccer) fans, but the tournament is a major event for European countries and the few fans in the US. This year maybe the shake-up of football will continue during the matches, considering a major underdog Leicester City won the Premier League in England.

To celebrate the competition, Hublot debuts the Big Bang Unico Chronograph Retrograde UEFA EURO 2016™. Taking place in France, the watch takes inspiration from the French flag colors, red, white and blue.

Powering the watch is the self-winding bi-retrograde movement with a central chronograph and column wheel. The watch is placed on a black rubber and dark blue alligator straps with white and red stitching.

About Hublot
The fruit of several years of research in collaboration with EPFL’s metallurgy department, Hublot has created a veritable “fusion” between pure gold and boron carbide (a ceramic): the brand has obtained an alloy of 18 carat gold surpassing traditional gold alloys in hardness and scratch resistance, while conserving the best properties of the ceramic and the gold. During the polishing, the raw alloy changes from a nearly black color to a unique gold tint, earning it the name “Magic Gold”.
