Hublot Brand Ambassadors and Friends Of The Brand

Although a new timekeeping kid on the block, the Swiss brand has always been about revolutionising the watch industry. Since 1980, Hublot has been breaking down horological barriers. They are renowned for the introduction of new materials, bold new colours featuring Saxem and oh so complex timepieces like the MP-13 released at Watches and Wonders 2023.

But they ain't doing too badly on the brand ambassador front with one of the hottest footballers on the planet;

““Hublot embodies this fusion of innovation, new technologies and materials, which greatly appeals to me. They unconditionally support my sport and are associated with my finest moments in football, so I am proud to become the first active footballer to act as an ambassador for the brand!” Kylian Mbappé, PSG forward.

The PSG forward is not alone in his close affiliation with the brand. So, who else wears Hublot watches? Well, the list is as long as Sir Alex Ferguson’s accolades with many famous wrist fiends from Jose Mourinho and Didier Deschamps to World Cup winner David Trezeguet and even England Manager Gareth Southgate. Play on player.

Powered by the in-house HUB1153, The Classic Fusion Chronograph UEFA Europa League Ceramic offers 50 metres of water resistance, ideal for a quick dip not to mention a polished black ceramic case.

As tough as Vinny Jones, who will be lifting the iconic Europa League Trophy on May 31st 2023? Set to take place at the Puskas Arena in Budapest, this self-winding movement is housed within an even more durable case, ensuring maximum protection to the mechanism. In fact, the materials this Swiss outfit have selected are made to stand any knocks or bumps allowing for incredible robustness given added durability with its zirconium base. This is certainly not jumpers for goalposts in terms of timekeeping but some may be pernickety with the lined rubber strap as it cannot be changed. For those enthusiasts who want to buy a Hublot to alter their strap game, you may need to reconsider
