Hublot

SINGAPORE, 14 March 2013 - From Hublot, Official Timekeeper of Manchester United, comes a brilliant timepiece inspired by Shinji Kagawa: Aero Bang Red Devil 26.

HUBLOT introduces the Aero Bang Red Devil 26 with Shinji Kagawa, first Japanese Manchester United player

The Aero Bang Red Devil 26 is inspired by Kagawa and Manchester United, is unique and stylish, featuring precision details throughout and embodying Hublot's advanced technology. In a colour combination of Hublot black and Manchester United red, the model is a rare piece that Hublot, the football club and Kagawa's fans eagerly anticipated.

The black carbon fibre case, symbolizing Kagawa's strength and flexibility, was designed, developed and manufactured entirely by Hublot. By controlling the release of air bubbles during the process of mould-pressing up to 12 layers of carbon fibre sheeting in the thickest parts, and treating them in a curing oven, the material evens out and takes on a high level of durability.

The red sapphire glass befitting of the name Aero Bang Red Devil 26 was directly coloured by adding a special chemical element that prevents it from easily discolouring. The strap is made of high-quality alligator leather with an inner rubber lining that provides a comfortable fit and elegance, and the red stitching expresses the bond between Hublot and Manchester United. The skeletal back casing bears a print of Kagawa's jersey number 26 and his autograph, heightening the watch's exclusivity.

This timepiece is limited to 50 pieces in Japan only, each delivered with a signed jersey.

The Hour Glass is the exclusive retailer for Hublot in South East Asia.
