Hublot's solution is a grille that can be affixed to the bezel that covers the sapphire crystal to protect it during the rough and tumble of Polo playing. Observe: Watch image on left without grille. Watch image on right with grille.
In addition to the improved case protection, this watch, featuring the HUB1141, also exhibits a 7 minute 30 second counter at 9 to reflect a single period of Polo play known as a "chukka" (awful name, isn't it?). The chronograph also features a 30-second central seconds hand (as apposed to the more common 60-second varieties).
The limited edition "chukker bang" is available in a numbered series of 500 pieces, or for the more well-heeled, a diamond-set grille version.
