The UEFA EURO 2020 are well underway and records are already being set eventhough it’s only been 6 days into the championship finals. If staying up for all the matches, watching all the interviews and monitoring the scoreboards like a hawk still aren’t enough to satiate your football fever, Hublot has a solution for you.
As the official timekeeper of the UEFA EURO 2020 for the eighth year in a row, Hublot is celebrating its association with the tournament with a dazzling array of new releases as well as a brand-new podcast featuring interviews with the greatest sporting icons.
Big Bang e UEFA EURO 2020
To celebrate, Hublot is unveiling its Big Bang e UEFA Euro 2020TM connected watch. Once again, Hublot is enabling football fans to keep pace with the competition by wearing their very own virtual stadium on their wrist. This is a story that started during the 2018 FIFA World CupTM in Russia. Hublot is now back with an enhanced model, available in a limited-edition of 1,000 pieces.
The bezel on the Big Bang e watch sports the colours of the flags of the 12 nations initially planned to host. Aesthetically, it features the attributes of the brand’s iconic Big Bang model. For greater ergonomics, it is available in a 42 mm case in Black Magic, the spectacular polished black ceramic developed by Hublot technicians, which is water-resistant to a depth of 30 metres. The sapphire crystal means the AMOLED high definition touchscreen is easy to use while, just like a mechanical watch, the push-button on the rotary crown is used to activate its functions.
For the UEFA EURO 2020™ European Championship, Hublot will be equipping all the referees officiating during the tournament with special Big Bang e Referee watches. This special version will help the refereeing body to manage the timekeeping of the matches and any extra time, and will be connected to Goal-line technology and the famous VAR video control system. The board used by the fourth official to show player substitutions will also be sporting Hublot colours.
