Hublot Big Bang Ajax Amsterdam 000/30 prototype

This watch is something you will rarely find, and if you do, there is basically only one available.  A first prototype of a timepiece which on top of that has only been issued 30 times to the soccer team of Ajax Amsterdam in the Netherlands. It is numbered 00/30.

This timepiece was produced for the soccer team Ajax Amsterdam at the end of  2011.  The reason behind was that Ajax Amsterdam had won 30 master and international titles which is shown by the three stars on the dials right underneath the word “Hublot“.

As far as we know, 25 of the 30 pieces were delivered to soccer players of the Ajax Amsterdam team in the season of 2011/12.  It is not known where the remaining 5 timepieces ended up?  However, these watches were never sold to the public.

My friend who is also a great supporter of a charity which helps orphaned children, based in Germany they are building children villages in third world countries.  He is more than lucky to find this watch having the prototype number 00/30.

In addition, he is proud to receive the kind handwritten warranty extension (until 2017) by Mister Biver himself.

The service of Hublot is more than impeccable.

There is one more Big Bang issued to “Ajax Amsterdam” available on the world wide web, which was cared for by Urby Emanuelson ( a former Ajax player).  Urby is playing for AC Milano in Italy since 2012.  His watch carries the number 11/30 and can be found here:

If anyone knows more about the story behind this watch, or of any others that are available, please respond in the comments section.
