Hublot and Rohit Sharma came together to unveil the all-new 2019 Classic Fusion Chronograph ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 England & Wales watch.
The Hublot Classic Fusion Chronograph ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 is the second cricket watch created by Hublot. The first was produced in limited series for the 2015 ICC Cricket World Cup.
Rohit Sharma shared his excitement for the new watch. “I am so glad to launch the new Hublot cricket watch and am excited to sport it on my wrist during the upcoming ICC World Cup 2019,” he said.
“Timing is vital in cricket. Cricket is a skilful, passionate game that brings people together all over the world. Hublot shares this global passion and is proud and excited to unveil the official ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 watch,” Ricardo Guadalupe, Hublot CEO said.
The new limited-edition watch is heavily inspired by the original 2015 World Cup watch. The sapphire case back is decorated with the ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 logo and celebrates the sport of cricket. The grey and red detailing found in the dial, satin-finished ceramic bezel and the leather and rubber strap are inspired by the colour palette of this year’s ICC World Cup logo. The hands of the twin counters for the chronograph minutes and small seconds are shaped like cricket bats, while the triple appliqué hour marker at 12 o’clock represents three wooden stumps.
This limited-edition timepiece marks the Swiss watchmaker’s role as the Official Timekeeper and Official Watch of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 in England and Wales. Hublot is the first watch brand to be ever associated with the ICC (International Cricket Council).
The highly-anticipated ICC Cricket World Cup is set to begin on May 30. The six-week long tournament will have its final match on July 14 at Lord’s in London.
