Kylian Mbappé – winner of the “Golden Shoe” at the 2022 World Cup – owns many Hublot limited edition watches.
Ahead of the 2022 World Cup, Kylian Mbappé repeatedly showed off the Big Bang e FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 – the 3rd generation smart connected watch in Hublot’s collection, with the highest performance in the Big Bang e series. The highlight is the large screen with high resolution, which can reproduce all the thrilling moments of the matches in the most attractive football tournament on the planet.
The design of the Big Bang e FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 is a blend of luxury mechanical watchmaking techniques with high-end electronics. The 44 mm case is crafted of High-tech Ceramic with polished, milled black titanium.
The design also emphasizes personalization thanks to the rich dial options on the accompanying application. Mbappé and fashionistas can choose to design the dial and strap according to the flags of the 31 countries participating in the World Cup, in addition to the official burgundy version inspired by the Qatar flag.
Pink has been Mbappé’s favorite color since childhood, appearing on his first football boots. Hublot’s Big Bang Millennial Pink line stands out when combined with black outfits, helping the French super striker exude a youthful and dynamic style.
Hublot Big Bang Millennial Pink launches only 200 pieces globally, 42 mm in size, 14.5 mm thick, with a technical and powerful skeleton dial. The manufacturer equips a lightweight aluminum case, which undergoes an anodizing process to increase durability and color perfection. This material rarely appears in Hublot watch collections.
This version is powered by the HUB1250 Unico automatic movement, with a power reserve of up to 72 hours. Two fabric and rubber straps included, with integrated One-Click quick change mechanism.
