The Swiss watch company and Official Timekeeper of the Premier League announces a limited-edition version of the Big Bang e connected watch dedicated to the Premier League.
Revealing the latest piece of innovative wearable technology, Hublot's 'Big Bang e Premier League', breaks new ground as a connected watch that has been specifically designed for fans of the world’s most watched football league. Limited to just 200 pieces, the limited-edition watch has a lightweight case in satin-finished and polished titanium. It’s based on the 'Hublot Big Bang e connected' watch launched last year, with a number of additional features tailored to the Premier League fan experience.
The strap, which is available in the Premier League’s signature purple, can be quickly changed by the owner thanks to Hublot’s ingenious One Click strap-change system. Every strap comes with a microblasted black ceramic buckle. Inviting a swift change in style, owners will be able to change the look of the watch easily by choosing rubber strap colours and dial configurations.
Worn by Jose Mourinho and Alan Shearer, the watch provides users with animated and up to the minute notifications to alert them to Premier League match kick-off times (15 minutes before the game starts), goals, penalties, substitutions, yellow and red cards, and time added on. The dial can be set to display the time using digital or analogue displays, and when a match starts, the watch automatically switches to “Match Mode”.
The watch is powered by Wear OS by GoogleTM and comes with the exclusive Hublot Loves Football Premier League app, which will later also be available to existing Hublot Big Bang Connected e owners via hublot.com or the Google Play app store. The app will also show team line-ups and VAR decisions. When it signals a match is over, it will also begin a countdown to the next fixture. If there are two games taking place at the same time, users will be able to switch between them with a simple screen tap.
Hublot will be equipping Premier League referees with a special version of the watch, which will not be made commercially available. Cast in a super-lightweight composite, it will be even lighter than the ceramic version. It will also have additional functions designed for the referee, including goal-line technology that signals to the referee when the whole of the ball has crossed the line. This means that even in a crowded penalty area there is no doubt about whether a goal has been scored or not.
The Hublot Big Bang e Premier League is available now.
