Hublot and Wally Yachts have already been partners for several years: Hublot is the official timekeeper of the Wally Class during their regattas.
To commemorate this long time collaboration with Monaco-based Wally Yachts, the Swiss watchmaker has unveiled the special Big Bang Wally timepiece.
The watch made from an ultra-light alloy of aluminium and magnesium, amongst others, with a titanium movement and a rubber strap.
The case, bezel and dial are all the same colour, and the Wally logo sits on the counter at 9 o’clock, in black for continuity with the side inserts, the indices and the strap.
The watch uses the Hublot caliber HUB4001 automatic movement with a carbon-tungsten and PVD coated rotor.
The timepiece will be available in a limited number of 500 watches.
The launching ceremony will be held during the last regattas of the season 2009 which are taking place in the Golfe de Saint-Tropez.
This chronograph was selected in the “Sports watch” category of the prestigious Grand Prix de l’Horlogerie de Geneve awards 2009, the results of which will be released in a few weeks.
