Hublot unveils a watch in honor of Dwyane Wade

A special One Million RMB Basketball Chinesse Charity Challenge was held yesterday in Beijing, at the heart of the Forbidden City. NBA Champion, NBA Finals MVP, Olympic Gold Medalist and seven-time NBA All-Star Dwyane Wade was challenged to score a maximum number of baskets and raise funds for the leading non-profit organization One Foundation on behalf of Hublot and Wade's World Foundation.

“I never shy away from a challenge, or an opportunity to affect positive change through charity," said Wade. "I'm excited to debut the King Power during the One Million RMB Basketball Charity Challenge, which not only raises money for a worthy cause but also provides the perfect setting to showcase such a unique, yet distinctive timepiece".




Yes, you’ve read it well – a brand new watch was unveiled at the event. The Limited Edition King Power Dwyane Wade watch comes in a classic 48-millimeters wide King Power case, crafted in black ceramic. The same contemporary material, known for its toughness and durability, is used for the octagonal bezel. The watch boasts vibrant red accents, to evoke the colors of Wade’s basketball team - the Miami Heat. Number 3 is also enlarged and stylized to evoke the Wade’s shirt number. Wade, a devout Christian, and chose number 3 because it represents the Holy Trinity. Another piece of trivia about Dwyane Wade is that 10% of his salary goes to a church in Chicago.

The watch is a self-winding chronograph powered by HUB 4100 movement, which allows for a 42 hour power reserve. Dwyane Wade watch comes under the reference number 703.CI.1123.VR.DWD11, mounted on black rubber strap.

The atmosphere around the event was fantastic, and a special thanks goes to all at World Television who shared this video content with us.
