With a strap made from the same gold leather as the shoes he wore for his world record setting sprint in 2008, the new Hublot Usain Bolt Watch is officially here.

The Hublot King Power Usain Bolt was developed in close consultation with the three-time Olympic champion and Swiss luxury watch brand ambassador.

The new watch contains Hublot’s HUB4100 chronograph movement, incorporates several signature elements that are representative of Bolt.

On the dial, a silhouette of Bolt in his recognizable sprint pose is applied in anthracite gray transfer atop a black background in the small seconds subdial at 9 o’clock.

In the 12-hour chronograph subdial at 6 o’clock, the numbers and indices are in the green color of the Jamaican flag. The dial also has a 30-minute chronograph counter at 3 o’clock and date window at 4:30.

The watch will be a limited series of 250 numbered pieces, priced at $24,000 each.

“It’s perfectly natural to be associated with the fastest man, not just on the planet, but the fastest since the Big Bang,” said Jean-Claude Biver, Hublot chairman.
