Since retiring from competitive sprinting after the 2017 World Championships in London, Usain Bolt has turned to music while maintaining his long-running relationship with Hublot. The latest result is the Hublot Big Bang Reloaded Usain Bolt Ceramic Carbon, a 200-piece signature edition developed with him and announced on 14 April 2026.

What has Usain Bolt done since retiring?

Bolt’s final championships were the 2017 World Championships in London. In a September 2025 interview with the Associated Press, he described satisfaction with the legacy he left: “Now that I’ve retired, it’s a great feeling to know that I’m the benchmark if you want to be the best, you want to be a legend. I wanted to set high standards and I did. I’m happy about that.”

AP reported in September 2025 that Bolt had won eight Olympic gold medals and eleven world championship gold medals, and listed his world records as 9.58 seconds in the 100 metres, 19.19 in the 200 metres, and 36.84 in the 4×100-metre relay. These are figures reported by AP in that interview, rather than a fresh verification of the records. Associated Press, September 2025

What is Usain Bolt’s album, and who is NJ Walker?

Bolt’s music work includes Country Yutes, his debut album made with childhood friend Nugent “NJ” Walker. GRAMMY.com reported that Bolt’s music activity went back to a self-released 2019 mixtape; the album was released on 3 September 2021 through A-Team Lifestyle and United Masters. Bolt has also worked with dancehall artists Dexta Daps and Baby Cham. GRAMMY.com, 10 September 2021

A Jamaican sound and a name rooted in home

Country Yutes blends reggae, Afrobeats, and dancehall. Its title points to Bolt’s upbringing in rural Sherwood Content, Trelawny Parish, and the transition from that community to Kingston. In the GRAMMY.com interview, Bolt described music as a new chapter: “For me, track and field was great for me. That was a chapter of my life. Now I want to move onto another chapter.”

A 2024 Time+Tide interview presented music production with NJ as a source of renewed motivation for Bolt, describing Walker at that time as his best friend and manager as well as a singer. Time+Tide, 2024

What watch did Usain Bolt make with Hublot?

Hublot announced the Big Bang Reloaded Usain Bolt Ceramic Carbon on 14 April 2026. It is a Hublot signature edition developed with Bolt, not an independently produced Bolt watch or a separate brand. Hublot describes Bolt as an ambassador since 2010. The edition is limited to 200 pieces. Hublot, 14 April 2026

Bolt-specific design details

  • The numerals between 6 and 8 o’clock read “6 5 8”; from another perspective they form 9.58, a reference to Bolt’s 100-metre world record.
  • A lightning-bolt-shaped chronograph seconds hand evokes Bolt’s signature pose.
  • Hublot says authentic soil from Bolt’s childhood Jamaican training ground is sealed between sapphire crystals on the caseback.
  • The bezel carries the phrase “Anything is Possible, Don’t Think Limits,” while green and yellow accents reference Jamaica.

Bolt said the collaboration let him revisit his racing memories: “Working on this watch with Hublot allowed me to rewind and replay my race journey, every second, every stride, every finish line.” He also linked the continuing partnership to his career transition: “To do it with a partner who’s been with me since 2010, even after I hung up my spikes, makes it more than a watch.”
