Hublot has a rich legacy of producing robust and reliable watches, often preferred by sport professionals and enthusiasts. It was perhaps because of this heritage that Formula 1 partnered with the brand in 2010 and announced it as their official watchmaker. Subsequently, Hublot produced a number of Formula 1-themed timepieces. This limited edition King Power 703.OM.1138.NR.FMI11 was released by the house to commemorate India's first-ever Formula 1 race in 2011. And we must say, Hublot quite nailed it!

The watch has been dressed up with referential hues on the dial that serves as the canvas. You'll find the tri-colours that represent the Indian flag, a lovable testimony to the country. The luminous material is orange on all the hour indexes and hands, whereas the sub-registers at three and nine beautifully flaunt orange, white, and green shades. Furthermore, the small-seconds subdial at six carries 'India' printing - the final giveaway. Overall, the dial is bold with a black backdrop and highly legible even with the chronograph counters and the date window between four and five.

At Second Movement, the pre-owned division of Ethos Watches, we adhere to a rigorous verification process where expert watchmakers carefully inspect every watch to certify its authenticity, ensuring it is not counterfeit. We also go to the maximum extent possible to ensure that the timepiece is not a stolen property and that all duties are paid. However, in the absence of any central database, a 100% verification is unlikely for any pre-owned entity in India. Nevertheless, we can still provide a provenance guarantee for watches purchased from Ethos.
