The Swiss company Hublot presented the Big Bang Unico Red Carbon watch, dedicated to the successful Russian hockey player and friend of the brand Alexander Ovechkin. The friendly relationship between Hublot and Ovechkin began in 2018. And the release of the new Hublot replica watch is timed to coincide with the new record of the 35-year-old athlete: last year Ovechkin scored his 700th goal against the enemy.

The Big Bang Unico Red Carbon Alex Ovechkin watch features a 45mm carbon fiber case with bright red accents. These red accents are composed of microfiberglass in a "non-woven fabric" (NWF) form and are used to reinforce the body's main composite material. During manufacture, the NWF and carbon fiber hulls are bonded using resin adhesive.

Hublot chose this high-tech combination of highly durable materials and watch replicas uk colors to reflect Ovechkin's hockey equipment and the hockey player's exceptional tenacity to achieve results.

Alexander Ovechkin, captain of the Washington Capitals, led the Washington Capitals to their first Stanley Cup victory in 2018. And on February 22, 2020, in a game against the New Jersey Devils in Newark (New Jersey), he scored the 700th goal of his career. This is a feat achieved by only seven other players in National Hockey League history. Ovechkin, the preeminent hockey player of his generation, is far ahead of any other athlete playing in the NHL today. No other hockey player in the league has come close to Ovechkin’s record. Commentators have estimated that it could be decades before another player reaches the 700-goal mark.

Fans call 35-year-old Alexander Ovechkin “Ovi,” and they came up with another nickname for his jersey number: “The Great Eight.” Ovechkin is one of the most decorated players in NHL history.

The red color of the watch, as well as the red, white and blue colors on the tip of the chronograph hand, embodied Ovechkin’s Russian heritage, the Russian tricolor and the color of the Washington Capitals jersey, the current team of the hockey player.

In addition, the watch is endowed with three more details that make the Big Bang Unico Red Carbon Alex Ovechkin exceptional. The first detail is the Great Eight logo on the watch dial. The second is the personal signature of Alexander Ovechkin on the sapphire crystal case back. The third piece is a custom hockey puck, signed by Ovechkin, included with the Hublot Big Bang Unico Red Carbon Alex Ovechkin watch.
The watch is equipped with an automatic Unico flyback chronograph movement with a column wheel that provides a three-day power reserve

The watch is equipped with an automatic Unico flyback chronograph movement with a column wheel that provides a three-day power reserve. The details of the mechanism are demonstrated by the transparent case back of the watch.

Big Bang Unico Red Carbon Alex Ovechkin comes with a red Velcro strap. Additionally, the watch comes with a black rubber strap, which is quickly and easily changed thanks to the Hublot One-Click fastening system.
