Customized Hublot watches were gifted to all players and many staff members following the NHL all-time goals record milestone. Each watch features a photo from Ovechkin's celebration—reported to be from goal 894—and an engraved 'Thank you' plus the recipient's name on the back. Recipients were told the watches are lifelong mementos to remember the achievement. Ovechkin personally thanked teammates, staff, and his family during the celebration. Ovechkin has an established relationship with Hublot and previously had a limited-edition Hublot watch created in his honor in 2021. One player also received an additional personal souvenir from the record chase.
"Just because it's you guys, he gave us a custom watch. Every player and lots of guys on the staff, too. On the back, it's a picture of him from the celebration. I think it was (from goal) 894, like that celebration he had, and it said 'Thank you,' and everyone's name on the back of the watch. He told everyone that this is something that you can keep for the rest of your life, so you can look back at it and remember it."
"Ovi got Hublot watches for everyone," Eller said on Coming in Hot with Wallace and York in July. "Customized Hublot watches. I think he even got it for trainers and staff members, not just the players."
"He was very appreciative. Not only with the gift, but the way he went around and thanked everyone, and his whole family, how they thanked everyone."
