About Liam Smith’s watch collection
Liam 'Beefy' Smith is a professional boxer from Liverpool, England, and one of the most recognizable British fighters of his generation. A former WBO Super Welterweight Champion, Smith has shared the ring with some of the sport's biggest names, including Saúl 'Canelo' Álvarez, Jessie Vargas, and Chris Eubank Jr. His career spans well over a decade of top-level professional boxing, during which he has built a reputation as a durable, hard-hitting fighter with genuine world-class credentials. He is also part of the well-known Smith boxing family, alongside brothers Paul, Stephen, and Callum, all of whom have competed at the highest levels of the sport.
The Liam Smith watch collection, as documented through press appearances and fight-week photography, leans heavily toward Hublot — a brand that has long maintained a strong presence in professional sport and combat sports in particular. Smith has been photographed wearing the Hublot King Power Unico GMT, reference 771.OM.1170.RX, a 48 mm piece that combines Hublot's proprietary King Gold — an 18-karat rose gold alloy developed in-house — with a black ceramic bezel ring engraved with a 24-city GMT chapter ring. The case is substantial both in size and construction, finished with alternating brushed and polished surfaces that give it a distinctly industrial weight. The movement inside is Hublot's UNICO calibre HUB1220, a manufacture flyback chronograph with an integrated column wheel, visible through the skeletonized dial.
The choice of the King Power Unico GMT is a telling one. It is not a dress watch or a subtle flex — it is a large-format, technically loaded sports watch built around a manufacture movement, and it was photographed on Smith's wrist during fight-day preparations, WBO belt in hand. For a fighter of his background and style, the pairing makes sense: both the man and the watch are built for performance rather than ornamentation.
