Uniting Elegance and Conservation
Renowned Swiss watchmaker Hublot has strengthened its dedication to wildlife conservation with the launch of the Spirit of Big Bang Tourbillon 5-Day Power Reserve SORAI. This exclusive 30-piece edition, crafted in partnership with SORAI (Save Our Rhinos Africa and India), symbolizes Hublot’s ongoing mission to aid conservation initiatives protecting rhinos and other endangered species.
Founded by former international cricketer and Hublot Ambassador Kevin Pietersen, SORAI has become a crucial ally in preserving Africa and India’s rhino populations. Despite increased awareness and efforts, rhino poaching and habitat loss remain existential threats to these majestic creatures. In collaboration with SORAI, Hublot’s fourth release in their conservation-driven series amplifies this cause, with part of the proceeds directly supporting anti-poaching programs.
Size: 42 MM

A Tribute to the Rhino
Designed with meticulous detail, the Spirit of Big Bang Tourbillon’s 42mm case is sculpted from micro-blasted and polished “warm grey” ceramic, capturing the rhino’s distinctive hue. The watch also offers a bold aesthetic statement, featuring a skeletonized dial, a five-day power reserve, and Hublot’s HUB6020 Manufacture calibre—a hand-wound tourbillon movement that balances time display with innovative design. Two interchangeable straps—a sleek grey fabric and a camouflage-patterned rubber—complete this exclusive timepiece.
A Legacy of Craftsmanship
Since its founding in 1980, Hublot has been an innovator in fine watchmaking, merging artistry and technical precision. Known for its ‘Art of Fusion’ philosophy, the brand has pioneered materials like Magic Gold and colored ceramics. Hublot’s Spirit of Big Bang collection, launched in 2005, epitomizes this mastery, with a unique blend of high-quality craftsmanship and social responsibility.
Continuing the Wave of Conservation
Hublot’s CEO, Ricardo Guadalupe, expressed his gratitude to Pietersen and SORAI for their invaluable conservation work, saying “At Hublot, we are United for Change and passionate about the power of the collective to bring that change. While it brings us great joy to introduce the fourth Hublot x SORAI watch and to unite our communities together in the quest to save the rhino, our first thought is of our responsibilities as citizens of the world. We’re passionate about conserving our planet and reversing the damage done by mankind, and we are committed to playing our part in that process, knowing that lasting change is never achieved by people acting alone. And we are full of hope! We believe that through the vision, ambition and ceaseless efforts of conservation organisations like SORAI and its partners that this change can and will be achieved! On behalf of the worldwide Hublot family, I’d like to express our thanks to Kevin for sharing his passion with us and for his continued friendship, and for his inspiring commitment to tackling the rhino crisis. Hublot stands with SORAI, Kevin and the rhino!“
