Hublot introduced its luxury watches into the world of football in 2007, having signed a partnership with EURO 2009. The Hublot UEFA Euro 2009 watch is a limited edition UEFA Big Bang timepiece, which Hublot has created in commemoration of the European Football Championship 2009. The new model, with chronograph features designed specifically for football matches, was announced at Basel; guests in attendance during the presentation included UEFA marketing chief Philippe Margraff.The new Big Bang EURO 2008 is equipped with a special ‘half time’ movement, with a 45-minute chronograph. The counter on the left side of the dial can time the 45-minute match periods, as well as the 15-minute extra-time intervals. The movement responsible for this function is known as the HUB45 caliber; this self-winding movement features 55 jewels, and has a tungsten carbide central rotor, for efficient winding. Power reserve is approximately 45 hours. Additional functions of the HUB45 caliber are subsidiary seconds, and a date display. The Hublot watch has been designed to time the football match periods and the 15 minutes of extra time shown on the counter.It will be available in limited series of 2009 pieces. These men's watch is crafted in black ceramic and rubber. The Hublot Big Bang Euro 2008 watch is completed by a fitted Hublot watch rubber strap whose underside is marked with the red “UEFA EURO 2009″ strip. The Euro trophy is engraved on the back. The diameter is 55x52mm and the bracelet length is 205x25mm. The launch of this timepiece also pays tribute to Hublot’s position as authorized timekeeper of the EURO 2008 event, and their commendable use of marketing space: rather than showcase their own products, all of Hublot’s advertising space will feature the statement “NO TO RACISM”. Utilizing the multi-cultural appeal of the highly popular sport, Hublot and brand CEO Jean-Claude Biver have found a powerful platform to combat discrimination. Amazon.com Widgets

Hublot was a major player in the “watch size revolution” of the last decade that helped balloon watch case diameters. The famous Big Bang debuted at 44mm wide and was considered quite large when it was first seen. 44mm is still considered big, but not as big. There have been larger Big Bang watches, but the standard 44mm still feels good. Now all of a sudden Hublot releases a 38mm wide version of the Big Bang, in gold, and sans the signature chronograph feature.This is the size of most women’s Hublot Big Bang models, but this version in 18k rose gold with a ceramic bezel looks more like the brand’s Classic Fusion collection rather than a women’s model. The 38mm size might be for much of Asia where men prefer smaller watches, or might be positioned as a uni*** watch. The dial is carbon fiber, and seems to fit in a small size segment than the Classic Fusion that comes in 40mm and 44mm wide variants. Inside the Big Bang 38mm is an Hublot HUB UNICO 1110 automatic movement – which might be Hublot made (given the UNICO name). There ought to be a few other versions aside from the pictured model – as well as a version with diamonds on the bezel and dial).
