Company launches watch to honor Flamengo

Hublot's idea is to celebrate the 30th anniversary of winning the World Cup

By - in

To celebrate Flamengo's history and the 30th anniversary of winning the Club World Cup in 1981, Hublot (a Swiss watch company) designed the club's first official watch. It's a 44mm Big Bang in black ceramic with subtle touches of red, such as the buttons, the stitching on the alligator-skin rubber strap, and the phosphorescent hands. The club crest is located at 3 o'clock, and a special engraved caseback was also developed especially for the occasion. Follow the match at a glance: a 45-minute counter is located at 9 o'clock, marking the game time. The series is limited to 250 pieces in the club's colors of red and black.

Hublot's idea is to celebrate a story that has been being written in Rio de Janeiro since 1895… A true football legend, a cult favorite, a living legend. Brazil's most popular football club. One of the most successful clubs in the country, both nationally and internationally. In 2007, Rio de Janeiro's mayor declared the "Red and Black Nation" a city heritage site!

Initially, it was created to participate in rowing regattas, a sport practiced by the city's elite. Its founders decided to set the anniversary of its founding on November 15th, to coincide with the Proclamation of the Republic. The football section only opened in 1911, with players training on Russel Beach in Rio—it was the beginning of a legendary history in the world of football: 31-time Carioca Champion, 6-time Brazilian Champion, and winner of the Interclub World Cup and the Copa Libertadores in 1981.
