Replica Hublot Big Bang Integral Time Only in a modest 40 mm

For the first time, the manufacturer from Nyon went a little against its character and prepared a new incarnation of the iconic Big Bang in a surprisingly small, slim envelope. The sports watch will be available in one of three material options.

Many things can be said about the Replica Hublot brand, but it is certainly hard to accuse it of following trends, especially those “reducing” the size of the envelope. Hublot stuck to its masculine DNA, which means massive, large watches with a wide wrist. There is, of course, nothing wrong with this approach – the company has clearly defined its own style and potential group of recipients. Those with smaller wrists have so far had to make do with the Big Bang in the already large 43 mm version, or women’s models. And Hublot decided to pamper this group of customers with a new, unexpected version of Big Bang.

Big Bang Integral Time Only, as the name suggests, has been deprived of the chronograph complication emblematic of the brand. In its place, a basic set of indications was proposed, i.e. the current time and date. However, another change is more important – significantly slimmer dimensions. The new Big Bang is now 40 mm in diameter plus 9.25 mm thick – extremely compact for Hublot. You can choose one of three versions: titanium, yellow gold or black ceramics. The integrated bracelet is made of the same material as the case, finished with satin finish and fastened with an integrated butterfly. The links of the bracelet are very carefully finished with satin finish, chamfering and polishing.

In the spirit of other Big Bang projects, the dial of the new model is a very open composition with a view of the mechanism. The sapphire disc of the dial consists only of applied hour markers, the date window at 6 (with a skeletonized, fully visible disc) and three central hands.

Under the sapphire caseback, Hublot placed the automatic caliber MHUB1710, based on the Elite 670 caliber from Zenith (both brands belong to LVMH). The watch has a 50-hour power reserve, 4 Hz balance and a raw, technical finish in the spirit of the entire watch.

The ceramic version of Big Bang Integral Time Only will be limited to 250 pieces, and one will cost EUR 19,600 (~PLN 89,000). The yellow gold and titanium versions are not limited. The titanium one costs EUR 17,500 (~PLN 79,500), the gold one EUR 48,700.
