Swiss manufacturer Hublot has opened its first boutique in Latin America in Rio de Janeiro. To mark the occasion, the brand unveiled a new limited-edition watch dedicated to Pelé, the international football legend and Hublot Ambassador for the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil.
Limited to just 500 pieces, the Classic Fusion Aero Chronograph features a 45 mm polished/satin-finished ceramic case. It includes a stylish football at the 3 o’clock chrono counter, with Pelé’s famous signature engraved on the case back. Powered by the automatic Aero Hublot chronograph movement with 60 jewels and a 42-hour power reserve, it pairs with a black calfskin strap embossed in a football pattern, yellow stitching, and a black PVD steel deployant buckle.
