Gold Material Used for Bolt's Shoes Featured on the Strap

Four years have passed since the Beijing Olympics, where he stunned the world by setting a new world record of 9.69 seconds in the 100-meter dash. Now, as the defending champion in the 100m, 200m, and 4x100m relay, Hublot has released a watch inspired by Usain Bolt, whose performance is highly anticipated.

Bolt has served as a Hublot ambassador since 2010. The "King Power Usain Bolt" is a model that fuses all the things important to him. Notably, the gold strap combines Hublot's signature rubber with a gold synthetic leather, mirroring Bolt's shoes, offering both comfort, durability, and flexibility.

Furthermore, the small seconds subdial at 9 o'clock features a subtle grey illustration of his iconic pose. It also includes a function useful for counting down the final preparations before a race.Chronographmovement, and the 12-hour counter at 6 o'clock is accented with green, inspired by the colors of Jamaica, Bolt's beloved homeland.

Crafted for a man striving for his best performance, the "King Power Usain Bolt" makes a striking impression with its gold accents. It is a timepiece dedicated to the world's fastest man.
