Swiss Luxury watch brand Hublot, and Roberto Chiappelloni of Manfredi Jewels, a Greenwich, Conn., timepiece and jewelry retailer, presented Alex Rodriguez with a one-of-a-kind timepiece of its Big Bang King Power Black Magic created in honor of his 600th home run. At 35 years old, the New York Yankees third baseman became the youngest player and the sixth major leaguer to achieve this milestone.


The Big Bang King Power Black Magic features a black ceramic case and bezel with a matching black dial and superluminova markers. The 48 mm timepiece has a split second timer, power reserve and its production is limited to 500 pieces worldwide. This particular watch was customized for the occasion by etching of Alex’s signature on the sapphire glass, showing the Yankee colors and the number 600 commemorating the occasion.

Rodriguez received this timepiece at Yankee stadium on September 22 before the Tampa Bay Rays game.
