Two-thirds of rhinoceros species may disappear in our lifetime, which would be an irreversible loss for our planet; and its main cause is poaching! Staying ahead of poachers is a race against time that requires investments and the use of innovative technologies.

Hublot has committed to a partnership with Kevin Pietersen and SORAI – Save Our Rhino Africa India – to conserve rhinoceroses threatened with extinction. This commitment takes the form of the Big Bang Unico SORAI, from which a large proportion of the funds raised from sales will be directly paid to Care for Wild for the care and conservation of orphaned baby rhinoceroses, and to the South African National Parks agency to reinforce their nocturnal surveillance capabilities using airborne thermal intelligence tools.

In buying the time piece, 100 people will thus become involved in this initiative undertaken by Hublot on the recommendations of SORAI.

Symbolic of the partnership, the 45 mm Big Bang Unico Sorai is crafted from microblasted beige ceramic and features a ceramic dial characterized by the sandy tones of the African bush and the image of a white rhinoceros.

The watch is powered by a self-winding chronograph movement, the manufacture Calibre HUB1242, beating at a frequency of 4 Hz (28,800 vibrations per hour) with a power reserve of 72 hours.

Water resistant to 100 metres / 330 feet, the new model can be matched to a matching NATO bracelet or to black rubber strap with camouflage décor.

Released as a special edition of 100 models, the Hublot Big Bang Unico Sorai ref. 411.CZ.4620.NR.SOA19 has a price of Swiss Francs 22,900 / Euro 23,800 / US$ 24,100. hublot.com
