Usain Bolt, a.k.a “Lightning Bolt,” is the greatest legend to enter track and field from Jamaica. Since the time the world began with the Big Bang, no man has run as fast as him. Suffice it to say that Bolt justifies every honor with his accolades. He is a pure talent with stellar physical attributes to match, and when it comes to accentuating his features, he has only one accessory that he can safely trust.
Usain Bolt prefers to wear Hublot watches to all his important events and appearances. The Swiss luxury watchmaker is part of the powerhouse clothing brand LVMH, worth $397.26 Billion. Hublot has always supported the careers of legendary sprinters such as Dina Asher-Smith.

In fact, the luxury watchmaking renewed its partnership with him with a new ad campaign. Usain Bolt shared clips from the shoot on his Instagram with the tag “U N S T O P P A B L E” to highlight his continued hold over track and field. The Jamaican ace looked extra dapper wearing premium apparel from LVMH and completed the look with a wrist ornament from Hublot.
He wore different ensembles throughout the clip, although each one was in a muted tone to pair well with his complexion. He wore a black tuxedo, brown summer shorts and shirt, a white suit, and even a golden brown shirt and trousers with a matching jacket. With each of these outfits, Bolt had a different Hublot watch that complimented the look. The video was set to his groovy track “Unstoppable,” which played in the background and brought the aesthetics of the shoot to life.
