An ideal watch-making material, ceramic is 30 percent lighter than steel and 100 percent anti-allergenic and rust-proof. The Hublot F1 King Power Ceramic is a chronograph with two push-buttons (start and reset), a 12-hour counter at 6 o’clock, a 30-minute counter at 3 o’clock and a small seconds at 9 o’clock. Its case, 48 mm in diameter, is made from micro-blasted black ceramic.

Finally, its strap comprises two layers stitched together with red thread; the inner made from natural black rubber and the outer made from NomexTM, a synthetic fibre developed by Dupont De Nemours which, thanks to its very low combustibility, is used to make the overalls worn by racing drivers. The watch will be released in a limited edition of 500 pieces.
