6th October 2011, Tokyo – One day prior to the 2011 FORMULA 1 JAPANESE GRAND PRIX, Round 15 of the FIA Formula One World Championship™, as the Official Watchmaker of Formula 1™, Hublot revealed the new F1™ King Power Suzuka watch, named after the reputed Japanese circuit. This exclusive timepiece is impressed with white and red colours, inspired by the Japanese flag.

Combined with stately F1™ logo and impactful colours, the F1™ King Power Suzuka features several unique aspects made from an array of high-tech materials directly inspired by Formula 1™ such as a ceramic bezel with a circular-grained satin finish adorned with multiple holes to represent a high performance brake disk, a strap made from rubber and Nomex™, a synthetic fiber developed by Dupont De Nemours and used to make the suits worn by F1™ drivers. This model is offered as limited edition up to 250 pieces. On the occasion of the press conference for the launch, Hublot announced its continuous support to KIDS EARTH FUND(KEF) by auctioning the watch with precious limited number “0 of 250”, and all the proceeds will be donated to KEF, in the same manner of Ginza boutique’s opening before.

Wow that is a sexy watch. It would be interesting to know what 0 of 250 ends up fetching at auction!

Just a guess but there probably won't be a 0 of 250. It would make more sense to start at 1.

The nomex band on the F1's are amazing. It feels like a racing glove on the outside. The inside is rubber, so it's super comfy on your wrist.

Calgary Jewellery. The F1 nomex band is awesome. Highly doubt you'll destroy it haha. I wear my F1 all the time, unfortunately it's not ceramic (it's zirconium case and bezel with the brake disc portion being ceramic) and it nicks easily cuz it's a massive watch. The band still looks brand new.

I'm going to guess around $22k.
