Footballer Mauro Icardi spotted wearing Hublot

Football fans and watch enthusiasts alike have been buzzing after Inter Milan player, Mauro Icardi, was spotted wearing a Hublot Big Bang Unico Sapphire timepiece. This limited edition watch, which is only available in 500 pieces, has instantly become a must-have accessory for anyone who wants to look as fashionable as the football star.

Fans of Icardi will know he has been a long-time supporter of Hublot watches, with the brand often sharing images of the striker on social media wearing their timepieces. This latest addition to his collection, the Big Bang Unico Sapphire, is a chronograph outfitted with a transparent sapphire case. This allows the wearer to see the inner workings of the watch, including the gear train and barrel, while still retaining the watch's durability and water resistance.

The watch features a 45mm case, which is made of polished sapphire. The bezel is also sapphire, and it is held in place by six titanium screws, which provide extra strength and ensure the watch is protected from any knocks or bumps. The dial of the watch is skeletonized, and it has rhodium-plated hands with a luminescent coating, making it easy to read even in darkness.

The movement of the watch is Hublot's in-house HUB1242 automatic movement, which has 72 hours of power reserve. This movement is both reliable and precise, which is crucial for a watch that's geared towards sports enthusiasts. It also has a flyback chronograph function, which allows the wearer to time intervals without having to stop the chronograph first.

Given its limited availability and its high-end materials, it's no surprise that the Hublot Big Bang Unico Sapphire comes with a hefty price tag of £43,600 in the UK. However, for fans of Icardi and Hublot watches, it's a small price to pay for a piece of sporting history. If you're looking for a stylish, durable, and reliable timepiece that's perfect for sports enthusiasts, the Hublot Big Bang Unico Sapphire should definitely be on your wish list.
