AYRTON SENNA TOURBILLON FORMULA 1 WATCH

Here Hublot King Power Ayrton Senna is a split-second chronograph with power reserve indicator limited to 500 numbered examples, stamped with Ayrton Senna’s signature. It is made entirely from materials used in Formula 1. In a first for Hublot, the case is made from carbon fiber, a material widely used in Formula 1. The bezel is ceramic with a circular-grained satin finish adorned with multiple holes to represent an F1 brake disk which is also made from ceramic. The strap is Nomex, a synthetic fiber developed by Dupont and used to make the suits worn by F1 drivers. The power reserve indicator at 6 o’clock in green, blue and red evokes the timers used in Formula 1. Finally, the sapphire caseback features a laser-engraved portrait of Ayrton Senna with yellow infill for the engraved text.
The watch comes in a special Hublot presentation case, made from black ebony with a sapphire glass window decorated with a transfer of Ayrton Senna’s signature in yellow, matching the one on the sapphire crystal of the watch’s dial.
