Description:

With the start of 2012, Hublot joined forces with its ambassador, one of the world’s best soccer players in history, Diego Armando Maradona.
Together, they organized a charity event which raised one million RMB for the special program to aid children in China.
This event in Shangai was also an opportunity to flaunt two new watches that were designed for the soccer legend.
The timepieces in question are the second incarnation of the limited edition that came as a product of their collaboration, named the King Power Maradona.
This event continues to emphasize Hublot's involvement in its commitment to charities world-wide, often involving its ambassadors from the world of sports.
Two versions of the new watch are heavily influenced by the sport that made the Argentinean famous.
The dials feature number ten (which was his jersey number), as well as Maradona’s signature.
Novelties include two central chronograph hands which contribute to improved legibility.
The first hand shows seconds, while the second, specially designed for soccer enthusiasts and coaches, indicates the elapsed time out of 45 minutes (soccer games consist of two halves that last 45 minutes).
Sapphire crystal with glare-proof treatment on both sides.
The ceramic watch has a micro-blasted ceramic with a black rubber molding bezel, while the other one includes the same bezel with a satin finish.
The dials are made of sapphire and skeletonized.
They both feature satin-finished hands with white SuperLuminova treatment for better visibility (the ceramic version has ruthenium coated hands, while the gold one appropriately includes mattching gold plated hands).
The skeleton dials offer glimpses to the self-winding HUB4245 chronograph movements with the central 45 minutes counters.
The automattic mechanical mechanism runs on the frequency of 4 Hz (28,800 vph).
It is supplied with a power reserve of 42 hours.
The black rubber straps with white stripes are fastened with clasps that mattch the matterial of the case.
Both of the versions are limited editions.
The ceramic timepiece is made in 500 copies, while the gold variation edition consists of 200 pieces.
