Diego Maradona is both a man of immense talent and controversies. The former captain of the
Argentina National Team (
AFA) and currently its manager just received another title today as timepiece maker

Big Bang Maradona.

A sapphire crystal covered a black dial face, adorned with Argentine blue and white in luminescent on numerals. Maradona’s jersey number, 10 in Mexcellent font inscribed on a sub-dial around the 3 o’clock position, while an etched version of his signature is on the dial’s 6 o’clock position. HUBLOT HUB1146 chronograph movement with 55 jewels and 42 hours power reserve. A black ceramic case back with another sapphire crystal inscribed with an image of Diego Maradona’s arms up in victory. A luxurious alligator band reinforced with rubber back and Argentine blue stitching further accentuate the timepiece.
