HUBLOT ’ S COLOURMANIA

The winter is awakening beneath the intensity and depth of the colours of the new Spirit of Big Bang All Black models . Red , orange , yellow or green will warm up the frosts of the season .
With 4 new models , Hublot is proposing a collection of watches in ‘ block colour ’ mode , a mix of lively colours ready to be worn without moderation .
This is the Big Bang spirit . These are the Big Bang codes . Its barrel-shaped silhouette embodies all the codes of the Big Bang — its design , 6 H-shaped screws crossing the bezel , the lugs on both sides of the case , the two attachments of the strap , the Hublot hands and the stick indexes , the screwed crown over moulded with rubber — its unique case construction following the astute ‘ sandwich ’ principle — and its fusion of materials . The Spirit of Big Bang All Black blends opposites , the visible and the invisible , in a piece that represents the very essence of its All Black concept .
In a micro-blasted black ceramic and black PVD case , colour marks the time from the indexes to the hands — minutes at 3 o ’ clock , hours at 6 o ’ clock and seconds at 9 o ’ clock — passing by the date at four- thirty , and dresses the strap in alligator leather sewn onto natural rubber . Created in 4 versions — red , orange , green or yellow — it is available exclusively at Hublot Boutiques . For its motorisation , the Spirit of Big Bang All Black is equipped with the HUB4700 automatic winding skeleton movement .
An entirely ‘ Hublotised ’ motor in its architecture and its finishing , which conserves the major assets of the mythical basic movement from which it comes — the Zenith El Primero calibre — namely the most precise chronograph in the world . A high frequency with the addition of a 50-hour power reserve .
Exhilarating , energising , dazzling . Will you take another shot of Spirit of Big Bang All Black ?
