The watch is often a chronograph using a boxing-specific touch on the minutes counter: much like the King Power replica watches made for the Manchester United and FC Bayern Munich soccer teams, whose counters track the 45-minute periods of any soccer match, that one is calibrated on the three minutes inside a round of boxing. Why is each watch unique is its caseback, and that is engraved together with the signature of one in the 12 boxing legends.
