Hublot has once again redefined the art of fine watchmaking with the Big Bang Unico Novak Djokovic, a timepiece that embodies the winning mindset of one of tennis’ greatest champions. Limited to just 100 pieces, this extraordinary watch pays tribute to Novak Djokovic’s remarkable career, while embracing sustainability and innovation in its design.

Since joining the Hublot family in 2021, Novak Djokovic has continued to solidify his legacy as one of the greatest tennis players of all time. A 24-time Grand Slam singles champion, Djokovic’s journey is a testament to resilience, precision, and determination—values that align seamlessly with Hublot’s philosophy of being “First, Unique, and Different.” Inspired by these shared ideals, Hublot has created a watch that captures Djokovic’s essence both on and off the court.

The Big Bang Unico Novak Djokovic is not only a marvel of horology but also a bold statement on sustainability. In an innovative approach, Hublot crafted the case and bezel of the watch from recycled materials, including 25 HEAD tennis rackets and 32 Lacoste t-shirts worn by Djokovic during his 2023 season—a historic year marked by record-breaking achievements. These materials, combined with bio-sourced epoxy resin, create a unique composite speckled with blue, white, and gray fragments, resulting in a distinctive camouflage aesthetic.

Furthering its commitment to sustainability, the watch features tempered Gorilla Glass instead of traditional sapphire crystal. This lightweight yet durable material, commonly used in high-end electronics, helps reduce the watch’s overall weight without compromising on strength.

At the heart of this timepiece lies Hublot’s Unico Manufacture chronograph movement, reimagined in anodized aluminum to echo the watch’s color scheme and reduce weight by 27%. The 42 mm matte blue recycled composite case houses a dial that features luminescent indexes for optimal readability. The bezel screws, subtly curved to mimic the shape of a tennis ball, and the Djokovic logo on the oscillating weight are intricate details that fans and collectors will cherish.

The Big Bang Unico Novak Djokovic comes with two strap options, each tailored for performance and comfort. The first is a blue Velcro fabric strap with a polished blue aluminum sports buckle, while the second is an elastic sweatband-style strap, ensuring the watch feels as light as a tennis ball on the wrist. The watch, with its lightweight construction and versatile strap system, weighs only 49.5 grams—a perfect companion for Djokovic’s agile movements on the court.
