Review Hublot Big Bang 20th Anniversary King Gold Ceramic 431.OM.1338.RX

As a window for Hublot to showcase its avant-garde design and excellent watchmaking craftsmanship, the Big Bang series of watches, which came out in 2005, was led by Jean-Claude Biver, then CEO of Hublot, and designed by Italian designer Marc Ferrari. Its characteristics are the use of layered cases and rubber straps, 6 decorative screws on the bezel, and the brand's "Art of Fusion" concept. After 20 years of development, Big Bang has become Hublot's most representative series. The best Hublot Big Bang replica watches at captainthewatch.is.

The Hublot Big Bang 20th Anniversary King Gold Ceramic 431.OM.1338.RX watch features a unique layered case that can cleverly integrate a variety of materials. The polished black ceramic bezel has 6 decorative H-shaped titanium screws, with gradually narrowing lugs and knurled bezel edges, which pay tribute to the first generation of the 2005 series. On the basis of continuing the classic style, the new work has changed the classic size of the previous Big Bang Unico series and is presented in a 43mm diameter for the first time, enriching and expanding the product line.

The main body of the dial uses a carbon fiber embossed pattern, with Arabic numerals in King Gold, and is covered with Super-LumiNova luminous material on top. In terms of layout, there is a calendar display window at 4:30; the two sub-discs at 9 o'clock and 3 o'clock correspond to small seconds and 60 minutes of cumulative timing respectively. The anti-glare sapphire mirror ensures that the above content is clearly visible.

As an anniversary edition, the 18K gold crown is engraved with the "20 YEARS" logo to echo the product theme. The diamond-patterned rubber strap is the highlight of the Big Bang 20th Anniversary Edition watch, which is quite a tribute to the early products in the series. The strap can be replaced through the "one-click" quick-release system on the case. Combined with the 18K King Gold and black-plated titanium folding clasp, it not only takes into account the luxurious style, but also further enhances the user experience.

Through the sapphire case back, you can observe the original self-made Unico automatic winding movement equipped in this work, the specific model is MHUB1280. The movement has a vibration frequency of 28800VPH (4Hz), 43 jewel bearings, and has a power reserve of about 72 hours. The movement uses a column wheel and a silicon escapement, and has a flyback chronograph function. Its main plate and bridge are smoky gray ruthenium-plated, and are polished by micro-bead blasting and circular satin craftsmanship. The 22K King Gold rotor is engraved with the words "20 Years Hublot Big Bang".
