Hublot has just introduced the Limited Edition King Power Usain Bolt.

Limited to 250 pieces.

This is a fitting tribute to the world’s fastest man & perfectly timed to launch just before the 2012 Summer Olympics in London.
This is where Bolt will defend his world record in the 100 meters, which currently stands at 9.82 seconds.
In addition to the watch’s many references to the sprinter, it features an interesting & unique identifying factor: the strap is made from exactly the same leather as the shoes he wore when he broke the world records in Beijing in 2008.

Usain “Lightning” Bolt, the world’s fastest man, now has a Swiss watch named in honor of him and featuring his image.
Hublot, for whom he is an ambassador, has developed this special model in close consultation with the champion, to mark this monumental year in sport.
Usain Bolt, who turns 25 this year, recently opened his season in style by completing his first individual 100 meters in just 9.82 seconds at the National Stadium in Kingston, Jamaica, as he prepares to defend three titles in London this summer: the 100, 200 and 4 X 100 meters relay.

The watch is a fusion of the symbols representing everything that Usain Bolt values.
Starting with the silhouette, that pose – which is his unique signature – stylized and immediately recognizable.
It is seen in an anthracite grey transfer on a black background at 9 o’clock in the center of the movement’s permanent small seconds counter.
The chronograph movement features a central 60-second hand and a 30-minute counter at 3 o’clock.

A 12-hour chronograph counter sits at 6 o’clock, and is decorated with a touch of green in the colors of the flag of Bolt’s homeland: Jamaica.
A date window at 4.30 completes the design.
The 48 mm-diameter watch, in micro-blasted ceramic, is predominantly black, with gold – Bolt’s favorite color and that of his lucky shoes – very much in evidence, adding a further symbolic touch.
The flange features a 2N gold powder coating and the strap is made from exactly the same gold-colored synthetic leather as his shoes.
This is stitched onto black rubber – a Hublot signature – to guarantee comfort, strength and flexibility.
