The great Cuban Javier Sotomayor is known as one of the most recognizable athletes of our time, despite the fact that he ended his professional career in 2001. Sotomayor, on account of which 17 of the 24 highest jumps in history, at the age of 14, overcame the symbolic for each jumper in a height of 2 meters. And two years later, Javier showed a result of 2,33 m, which to this day is a record among youths under 16 years old. Another world record that no one has surpassed so far is the legendary 2,45 jump in Salamanca.
Today, on the birthday of an outstanding athlete, we suggest recalling the award ceremony
Latino Award 2020. On this day, remembering and paying tribute to the unsurpassed achievements of Javier Sotomayor's sports career, the watchmakers Cuervo y Sobrinos have created an exclusive watch for him: the Vuelo GMT with a unique dial and case.
An original functional model made of brushed and polished steel, protected by an anti-reflective sapphire crystal. The dial, capturing the legendary jump and the cherished record numbers, impresses with its layered design with excellent readability. The first level indicates the second time zone in 24-hour time format and is indicated by a central red hand with a graceful triangular tip. The second level is for indices and numbers of the main time.
The product is the embodiment of the high craftsmanship of the Swiss watch brand with Cuban roots, and also demonstrates the inextricable connection and great love of the brand for its homeland, its glorious past and great future.
During a press conference, the “El principe de las alturas” (Prince of Heights), the recipient of this award, said: “Thank you for the recognition. Although my legacy does not stretch as far as Cuervo y Sobrinos, I am still very proud of my 30-year career. "
