The Big Bang Unico Bi-Retrograde watch is the second watch by Hublot to be made for the ball club. The timepiece features a 45.5mm titanium case with sapphire anti-reflective treatment and the Paris Saint-Germain logo printed on the case back glass. The production run was limited to only 100 timepieces.
 
Hublot introduced the first timepiece for the ball club, the King Power Paris-Saint Germain, in 2013 when it became the official timekeeper and official watch of the team.
