Hublot is launching two Big Bang Unico and one Classic Fusion in partnership with the Argentinean Football Association —AFA. These watches celebrate the ongoing triumphs of one of the most legendary national teams in soccer/football. Some years are more important than others and for football fans, and supporters of the Argentinean team, 2022 was one of those years. On Sunday, December 18, 2022, Argentina and France finished level at three-all in the final but, in the end, it was Argentina that won their third World Cup 4-2 on penalties. This marked a historic moment not only for Argentina but also for Hublot.

When Hublot released the Big Bang Sang Bleu we called it a horological multifaceted wrist sculpture because it doesn’t tell the time in a conventional way and its multifaceted case is more of a sculpture than a watch case.
