The footballing world came together in Zurich for the first ever "The Best FIFA Football Awards™", a distinction that recognises the men and women who ensure football remains the best-loved sport in the world. To immortalise this ultimate title of "the best of the best", Hublot presented a Big Bang Unico Retrograde Chronograph to the 5 winners.
This watch features a patented self-winding bi-retrograde module, the original construction of which required an additional source of energy to power the rapid movements of the hands. Designed to time two 45-minute halves of a match, plus additional time of up to 60 minutes, the Big Bang Unico Retrograde Chronograph has a central chronograph with minute and second hands moving in a circular arc between 10 and 2 o'clock. When the mechanism is activated using the push-button at 2 o'clock, the second hand moves to the 60 index, before rapidly jumping back to zero to repeat its course, while the minute hand counts the time as it elapses. The window in the centre indicates the current match time. The actual time can be read in a counter at 6 o'clock.
