CELEBRATE THE LEGEND
Hublot and Ferrari have been driving partners for the past six years, producing watches as powerful and attractive as a Formula 1 car, like for this anniversary limited edition.
On all the world’s race tracks, Ferrari Scuderia cars have been first past the chequered flag. To celebrate the 90th anniversary of the team from Modena, Hublot has embodied its wonderful sporting adventure in three limited editions of the Big Bang Scuderia Ferrari 90th Anniversary watch. The first takes us back to the early days of motor racing with a platinum case and a perforated strap. The dial design is inspired by vintage speedometers. The second version symbolises the present. Today, high-tech materials combine to produce optimal performance. The 3D carbon case comes with a strap made of Nomex, a flame-resistant fibre used to make race suits. The watch is bedecked in the current Scuderia colours, red and black. The third model takes us into the future, where innovation will influence design and technique, with a sapphire case and Kevlar strap. Each of the three watches features one of the team’s three colours around the watch rim, on the figures and the indices: yellow for the platinum version, red for the 3D carbon model and black for the sapphire watch.
The models are all powered by the same calibre, the 1241. The automatic movement features a chronograph equipped with a flyback feature for quick and easy measuring of split times. The optimised design provides the watch with 72 hours of power reserve.
All three are available in a limited edition of 90 pieces. Ten collectors’ sets contain all the chronographs.
Price: 65,900 CHF (sapphire) – 38,900 CHF (platinum) – 32,900 CHF (3D carbon) www.hublot.com
