Hublot plays out new Bang: The Hublot EURO 08 Referee Watch
By Joe Vangieri • Apr 24th, 2008 • Category: Hublot, News
All 44 referees became the proud owners of an exclusive watch, not available for sale. The movement has been specially adapted by the watch-making brand to the time of a match. The dial displays 45 minutes, plus 15 minutes of extra play, while the time can be read from the centre of the dial. The watch specially designed by Hublot for referees officiating at the Euro 2008 matches was presented in Zurich by Hublot CEO, Jean-Claude Biver, just a few weeks ahead of the start of the tournament.
Sporting a steel watch case and bezel and rubber strap, the watch has all the design hallmarks of a great Hublot Classic, except for the distinctive 45 minute counter display, plus additional 15 minutes for extra time! The movement has been specially developed by Hublot in conjunction with Dubois-Dépraz.

To mark the occasion, the new Hublot model has been manufactured and reserved exclusively for the Euro 2008 referees, who will be receiving their watch at the ‘Official Preparatory Workshop for referees and assistant referees’ organised by UEFA. Speaking of the ‘chronometer specially designed and developed for Euro 08 referees’, Biver proclaimed during the press conference: “I’m convinced that the watch will allow Switzerland to shine, not just in Swiss Made products, but also out on the pitch.â€
