You’re most likely familiar with the Big Bang Theory sitcom and the Big Bang as a cosmological theory, but did you know that there’s another Big Bang? That’s right, this Big Bang is called the Hublot Big Bang 44mm 301.SB.131.RX and at $14,800 (U.S. retail) this sporty men’s watch is sure to give you the biggest bang for your buck.

Pros:

Chronograph and Calendar Functions: One of its neatest features is the chronograph function. Similar to a stopwatch, this watch displays three sub-dials: 30 minute, 12 hour, and seconds. The chronograph is great for keeping time for an appointment, cooking, or running. A handy calendar feature between the four and five o’clock position reminds you of the date.

Readability of the Time: The large  “appliqué” style Arabic numeral hour markings and brushed finished steel hands make reading the time easy at a glance. This timepiece is also clearly labeled at five-minute intervals with white Arabic numerals, making reading time a cinch. The silver color of the brushed finished steel hands with luminous filled tips makes a well-balanced contrast with the black stamped carbon fiber background on the dial which adds to the visibility of the time. Red printed minute marks along with the red minute hand add to the contrast of colors and snazzy style.

Workmanship: A high caliber of workmanship, the Big Bang 44mm is made out of 252 parts, contains 28 Jewels, and has a power reserve up to 42 hours, which make it run smoothly and efficiently. Hublot ensures top-notch quality with polished finishes on the stainless steel case and black ceramic bezel. Its sapphire case back protects the automatic self-winding movement mechanism inside. This water resistant watch (up to 100 meters) is attached to a flexible black rubber strap that’s corrosion, abrasion, and sweat resistant.

Cons:

Given the position of the sub-dials, the hour numerals are not marked at the 1, 3, 5, 6, 7, 9, and 11 o’clock positions. Although this can make telling time more challenging, the large index marks at the 1, 5, 7, and 11 o’clock positions help alleviate some of this difficulty. The date is slanted diagonally, making it difficult to view, though the black number against a white backdrop improves its visibility. Lastly, the Big Bang is a high-end watch and this comes with a high price.

Alternative Models: Sorry to disappoint you, but there isn’t just one big bang watch. There are actually many fine alternatives in the Big Bang collection if the Big Bang 44mm 301.SB.131.RX isn’t exactly what you desire. Hublot has designed thirty variations of the Big Bang 44mm watch such as the  301.PX.1180.RX or the 301.SX.130.RX. As the consumer, you will find that these other watches may have the most bang for your buck given your personal taste. However, whatever Hublot Big Bang model you choose, you are sure to have a high quality watch.

The Hublot KING POWER TOURBILLON 48MM 705.OM.0007.RX is what you would expect from Hublot luxury timepiece. It is sophisticated, elegant, stylish, and chic. This watch compliments virtually everything and is sure to separate your look from the crowd. When browsing for the perfect luxury watch, you often what a piece that is unique as you are. The Hublot KING POWER TOURBILLON 48MM 705.OM.0007.RX is certainly such a piece. It would be very difficult to find a watch like this, so comparisons are hard to make as it stands out as a marvelous piece.

Unlike many luxury watches, the Hublot KING POWER TOURBILLON 48MM 705.OM.0007.RX is not afraid to be bold and switch things up with its intriguing rubber bracelet design. The ridged material is a far cry from the metal clasps and leathers seen on other watches. You may find it more comforting and fitting, while additionally its ridged design draws attention to the piece and its different nature.

Next is the dazzling 18kt rose gold case which stands in brilliant contrast to the rubber bracelet. The luxurious nature of this watch is certainly apparent by this fine feature. Drawign further in past the ceramic bezel, the sapphire scratch resistant surface is marveling as well. Inside is a skeleton design face with a truly brilliant display. With the added tourbillon movement of this piece it proves that it is more than just looks. It has a skeleton or open back as well and shows off the fine craftsmanship that went into the watch.

The piece certainly stands out with its double dial face and skeleton design, but that is not necessarily a good thing. If you are looking for a more classic design than this watch is not for you. This is indeed a specialty item, and if you find yourself drawn to its character, you will find yourself an elite class. Tis watch offers a unique look that is certainly hard to match, and for the price not many will try to match you. If you want that magnificent and original timepiece that sets you apart from others, than may very well be the watch for you.

The whole universe may have started with the Big Bang, but when it comes to watches, the Hublot Big Bang 48MM 322.PX.1023.RX.0924 is near the end–the high end that is. This is truly a luxury piece in every sense of the word. No punches are pulled here as this watch stands to deliver in every way possible. After glimpsing a watch like this, it may make you reevaluate what you consider a luxury watch to be. So without further ado, let us look at one very fine and very exquisite timepiece.

The Hublot Big Bang 48MM 322.PX.1023.RX.0924 at its most basic level is a watch with fairly customary design. its has a black rubber strap and a typical round face. However, once you get past the black rubber bracelet and examine the face of this watch, you notice some truly breath taking aspects.

First, the case is a breathtaking eighteen karat rose gold. As if that is not enough, it is set with a jaw dropping two hundred and six diamonds. Wow.

Next, the unidirectional rotating bezel is a solid 18kt rose gold. But what is gold without diamonds? The bezel is adorned with twenty eight black diamonds, another thirty six white diamond, and another eight rubies for good measure. This thing is sure to sparkle and bling, and reports are it can be seen from space (Note: I am pretty sure it cannot actually be seen from space, but it does have a lot of jewels on it).

The hour markers are not only luminous but are also made with the same 18 karat gold that adorns much of this fine piece. This watch is bold, it’s got a lot of gold.

Did I say gold? Because there is more gold in the minute and hour hands which feature a lovely semi-skeleton design. Truly marvelous. And do not forget the lovely date window inside the 3 marker, because it is the details that count.

With a sapphire scratch resistant surface and water resistance to 300m this watch is as durable as it is awe-inspiring.

This watch has so many jewels I am a little taken aback by the lack of adornments for the rubber bracelet. It seems such a fine piece would be secured with something a little nicer than rubber. But perhaps this type of contrast is appealing to some.

So, if you are looking for a luxury watch with plenty of gold and jewels that doesn’t take its bracelet too seriously, then this is the watch for you.

However, if you do not want a rubber bracelet on your luxury watch, then this piece should be avoided.

This men’s watch offering from Hublot features a stainless steel fixed bezel with a brushed and polished stainless steel strap secured to your wrist with a push button fold over clasp. The black dial is protected by a sapphire scratch resistant crystal. This watch features no screw down crown and an automatic movement. The Hublot Big Bang 38 mm Black Dial Men’s Watch 365.SX.1170.SX is powered by the Hublot Caliber 1110 that beats at 28,800 vph. It contains 28 jewels and an approximated power reserve of up to 42 hours. As its name suggests the case is 38 mm. All the while being water resistant to up to 100 meters. The case center edge is a matching black composite resin to the matte black dial. The minutes and hour hands are half-skeletal brushed stainless steel with luminous tips. As one might expect from Hublot the screws and the 5-minute markers are the characteristic H shape.

This is one of Hublot’s more understated models though the price of which suggests anything but subdued minimalism. The materials of this watch are not extraordinary in that it is almost entirely stainless steel. There is no titanium bezel or elaborate tachymeter and there are definitely no jewels and gems embedded in the case material. These characteristics or the lack of are not necessarily to be held against this quality timepiece as the quality of the movement and its ability to keep time is what is most important in buying a watch. Hublot’s craftsmanship is rarely in question, however considering the manufacturer list price of $8,700 is rather steep for this simpler model. It would appear that what you are paying for in this case is the reputable automatic engine powering the watch and indeed the Hublot name itself.

Any watch that surpasses the 1K mark especially appeals to a very specific customer. To that affluent and lavish customer this Big Bang 38 mm watch is a more casual option than other watches Hublot offers or any other high quality and high priced manufacturer of watches. To the less affluent, more average customer this is an extravagant piece. Or rather, extravagantly priced piece. The look is typical, the craftsmanship is dependable, but the price is a tad overwhelming, this is an everyday watch for those it is marketed to. To the rest of us, due entirely to the high cost, this regular looking watch becomes a special occasion piece. If you can afford this watch then by all means it is a safe purchase but if you are splurging then look elsewhere.

This stunningly masculine stainless steel and carbon fiber watch is not only well-designed, but very sport-oriented, and rugged as well.

These solid elements are embellished by finer design details such as the iconic “H” type screws on the bezel, and black Kevlar inserts on the case edge, crown, and chronograph buttons. The second hand also has an “H” counter-weight logo. In addition to the time function, the watch includes a chronograph to measure seconds, 30-minute intervals, and 12-hour intervals. There is also a small date indicator between the four and five o’clock positions. Similar Hublot products include the Big Bang 301.SM.1770.RX, which has a two-tone black and gray carbon fiber dial in a zig-zag pattern, and a rubber strap. The dial on the RX model is perhaps more distinctive, but a little busier and harder to read. Another similar model to consider is the 301.SM.1770.GR, which has a ceramic dial and leather band.

Pros: The sporty, masculine look of the watch is pleasing to the eye and easy to read. Though packed with extra functions, the dial face is clean and uncluttered.

Cons: You’re going to have to pay for all of this quality. The 301.SM.1770.SM retails for $18,300. If you are in the market for a luxury watch this price shouldn’t be too much of a sticker shock, but it’s something to weigh carefully. Given the careful choice of durable materials, the investment will last a long time.

For a watch that looks and is strong, the Hublot Big Bang series, and the 301.SM.1770.SM model in particular are worth consideration.

The Hublot Big Bang 44mm 301.PX.1180.PX men’s chronograph watch is truly in a world of its own. Although the big bang itself apparently took place as far in the past as possible, this watch is anything but passé. On the contrary, this watch is the one that should be worn if we ever decide to colonize outer space because it is both superbly futuristic looking and also cool and stylish enough to gain the respect and admiration of any extraterrestrials we might encounter along the way.

A gorgeous piece of futuristic time-telling technology.

This collection of Hublot watches was created in the 1980s and was the first in the history of watch-making to combine a precious metal such as gold with very modern materials, such as black rubber and Kevlar. The spacey futuristic look of this watch is so 80s and so ultra cool! If you haven’t noticed, 80s fashion is back in a big way and if you loved that decade then the Big Bang is the perfect representative of hip 80s style. Or perhaps you are an engineer or rocket scientist looking to design the next shuttle to outer space. Either way, you cannot go wrong with this watch.

This watch sports some incredible features. Sure anyone can own a gold watch, and the gold of this watch case and band isn’t shabby at all at 18 karats of rose gold with a cool brushed finish, however, how many people also have a watch made of Kevlar? The edge of the case has lateral black Kevlar inserts giving this watch super Kevlar strength to face the unknown on that outer space journey you might be taking. This Big Bang also has a solid black matte dial with brushed finished rose gold hands with luminous filled tips.

The Big Bang is a chronograph watch with three sub-dials. The dial window is made of scratch-resistant sapphire crystal with water-resistance of 100 meters. This watch also has a semi-skeleton back so you can see the powerful Hublot Caliber HUB 4100 engine of this watch which holds an approximate power reserve of 42 hours. One of the coolest details is the black rubber center inserts on the crown and chronograph buttons which match the black Kevlar. Thanks to the innovative 80s we now know that gold and black rubber is an excellent and super chic combination!

What is the only thing keeping you from blasting off to outer space sporting this ultra cool piece of time-telling technology on your wrist? Well, for most of us it is the price tag, at a US retail price of $53,900 the Hublot Big Bang may well remain only a futuristic dream. However, do keep in mind that Hublot does offer models within the Big Bang collection at more down-to-earth prices yet with similar levels of awesomeness.

Pros: 

• Cool and futuristic
• Great unique details combining 18k rose gold with Kevlar

Cons: 

• Hefty price tag

Streamlined and efficient, a man's men's watch.

Written by Lindsey Cook

Get back to the basics with this streamlined men’s watch the Hublot Big Bang 44m 301.SM.1770.RX.  This bold timepiece is fitted for all aspects of your life and keeps you informed of time in all situation.

The streamlined look of this men’s watch with its stainless steel and ceramic case and black carbon dial denotes a certain military look in this timepiece, clean cut and efficient while still daring enough to look good.  The movement of this chronograph watch is automatic and functions at hours, minutes, seconds and displays the date as well.  The stunning sapphire crystal covering the back of the watch reveals the gorgeous movement of the skeletal motor, and makes the entire piece scratch resistant.  With its fixed water resistance up to 330 feet, this Big Bang model is suitable for swimming and shallow snorkeling but unwise for diving.  The black silicon rubber strap is embossed with the name “Hublot”, and the deployment style of the PVD steel watch clasp ensures security and simple release.  An any man watch, it fits a wrist up to 8 inches and would be an effective tool to have on many an adventure.

This Hublot brand was created by Milanese watchmaker Carlo Crocco, and exhibits an escape from conformity with its clean, spare and definitive appearance.  The screws around the black ceramic bezel are not only to further indicate the hour, they also call to mind a certain naval appeal of the watch, and its clean-cut efficiency is exactly what many men require in a timepiece.  This Hublot classic was named wristwatch of the year in 2005 and still represents a high tech combination of materials and functions that has set the brand at the forefront of the industry.  From the sub dials displaying seconds and hours to the automatic calendar resting between the 4 and 5 o’clock, everything about this watch insists efficiency and professionalism.

In Summation:

• Stainless steel and ceramic case

• Black carbon dial

• Automatic movement

• Water resistant to 330 ft.

• Black silicon rubber strap embossed with Hublot name

• Sapphire crystal scratch resistant

• Deployment style clasp

• Fits 8-inch wrist

With a retail price of $14,000, this watch has all you could ask for in a man’s man watch.  Professional enough to wear to any business meeting or day at the office, it is yet durable enough for the most intense hike, not to mention flexible and sweat resistant enough, and can be dressed up acceptably for any evening outing.

The Hublot Big Bang Steel Diamonds

Hublot has been creating luxury watches for over 30 years, and here they have another great product available. A men’s watch with enough style to be impressive but little enough flash to be subtle despite its richness, the Hublot Big Bang Steel Diamonds 301.SX.1170.RX.1104 is a promising addition to the luxury watch selection. Not a casual purchase, it is nevertheless a bold one.

As implied by its name, the Steel Diamonds is encased in none other than stainless steel, giving it a strong and powerful look. Fitted throughout it’s bezel are 114 small diamonds, framing it in a glittering circle of gemstones. The lack of color offsets the flashiness of the watch, keeping it from being overpowering while still showing off an impressive effect.

The watch dial itself below the crystal is a black mat, which contrasts perfectly to the silver of diamonds and steel. Not a trace of color will be found in this watch, and this works well for it, a shades-of-gray effect that makes it a solid and dependable-looking creation. The black rubber strap also adds to this image.

The watch is also a chronograph, divided into hour, minute, and second dials inside the watch face. With the ability to record up to 12 hours of time passage, and a date dial squeezed stylishly between 4 and 5 hours, its functionality matches its strong appearance.

With prices in the mid-ten-thousands, it would be wise for a potential customer to be sure of their purchase, and there is a rather surprising sparsity of information on the manufacturer’s site. The big details are available, but nothing specific, such as vibrations per hour or construction materials, is provided. Given the heavy price tag on watches of this caliber, more information would have been nice.

Still, it’s clear that the watch is a high-quality, highly artistic endeavor, and it certainly rivals others on the market. Shoppers who can spare the money deserve to give it a look to see if it fits their tastes.
