The Assam Police arrested one Wazid Hussein from Assam’s Charaideo for allegedly stealing a heritage Hublot luxury watch that belonged to late football legend Diego Maradona. The watch has been recovered by the Assam Police with the help of Dubai Police.

Wazid was arrested from his father-in-law’s house in Moranhat, Chairaideo, where he was allegedly hiding after stealing the watch. Wazid had stolen the luxury watch while he was working in a private company in Dubai. He returned to India on 15 August, 2021 and has been moving around the state of Assam, hiding from police.

Assam Police coordinated with the Dubai Police through Indian Federal Law enforcement agencies to recover the Hublot watch. Himanta Biswa Sarma in a tweet said, “In an act of international cooperation @assampolice has coordinated with @dubaipoliceHQ through Indian federal LEA to recover a heritage @Hublot watch belonging to legendary footballer Late Diego Maradona and arrested one Wazid Hussein. Follow up lawful action is being taken.”

Obsessed with high-quality watches, Maradona was usually wearing two watches. One to know the time in his native Argentina and the other to know the local time. Both watches were always the same, and accordingly, a huge collection was acquired.

Although Maradona loved wearing rolex, he had a close relationship with Hublot. This was a late romance because of brand's close ties to FIFFA and the football world. Maradona sincerely appreciated the brand. He became one of their ambassadors and regularly appeared at Hublot events.

Maradona wore different Hublots, from stylish classic fusions to diamond set big bangs in king gold. In his honor, the brand also made a few limited editions. These models shared a blue and white theme to be loyal to Argentina's national team jersey. And the limited edition recorded the number 10, Maradona had worn throughout his career.
