On 5 October 2026, Alex Ovechkin said the 2026-27 NHL season will be his last in the league. It is his 22nd NHL season, all with the Washington Capitals, and he holds the NHL record with 929 career goals.[1][2][3]
One Hublot carries his name: the Big Bang Unico Red Carbon Alex Ovechkin, a limited edition of 100 pieces that Hublot released in February 2021. Bizak & Co. lists one for sale.[4][5][6][7]
This guide covers what sets the edition apart, its full specification and how to identify a complete example.
What makes the Hublot Big Bang Unico Red Carbon Alex Ovechkin different?
Hublot CEO Ricardo Guadalupe said the brand was thrilled to welcome Ovechkin as a Hublot Friend of the Brand in 2018.[4][5][6][7]
Hublot created the edition with Ovechkin in honour of The Great Eight, the nickname he is known by in hockey.[4][5]
Ovechkin spoke about the project in Hublot's release for the edition:[5][7]
To work with my favourite watch brand and design a watch, as well as have it named after me is a huge honour.
[5][7]
He added that when Hublot asked which model to work on, it had to be the Big Bang Unico.[5][7]
To mark his jersey number, the dial has a 'Great Eight' logo at 8 o'clock. His signature is on the sapphire crystal caseback. Hublot finished the tip of the chronograph hand in red, white and blue, which it calls a nod to the Russian flag and the colours of the Washington Capitals.[4][5][6][7]

Hublot launched the Big Bang in 2005. Unico is one of the movements Hublot makes in-house, alongside Meca-10 and its Tourbillon. This edition runs on calibre MHUB1242, a Unico movement.[6][7][8][9]
The red NWF inserts are micro-glass fibre, and Hublot uses them to strengthen the composite material of the case.[4][5][6][7][8]
Hublot's One Click system lets the wearer swap the red fabric strap for the black rubber one quickly and safely.[6][7][8]
How do you identify the Ovechkin edition?
Start with the reference, 411.QV.1123.NR.OVK21, then check for the dial logo and caseback signature described above.[4][5][6][7]
A complete example still has both straps and the signed hockey puck. Ask the seller for all three.[4][6][7][8]
