Pushing boundaries to reinvent continuously, Hublot dreams up this bold and fearless Big Bang for its Original series.
Why we love it
A singular blend of pared-down minimalism and classic reverence, this Big Bang 301.PX.130.RX from Hublot is an assortment of innovative materials, an avante-garde movement, and tasteful aesthetics. The prima facie impression comes from the beguiling construction of the watch that reiterates Hublot’s Art of Fusion. The 44mm elegant rose gold case is juxtaposed with the six titanium screws stationed on the vertical satin-finished bezel and the black structured rubber bracelet secured with a deployant buckle clasp. The flexible rubber straps hug the wrist in a versatile fashion offering comfort and safety both at once. The beauty of contrasts extends to the matte black dial set off by gold-hued markers – a modern mix of index and Arabic numerals.
Big Bang’s Original series are repurposed to fit different complications. This reference 301.PX.130.RX features a date display between four and five o’clock and three chronograph subdials placed at three, six, and nine o’clock positions. The model is 100 metres water-resistant. Moving towards the heart of the watch, this Hublot Big Bang watch is powered by Calibre HUB4100, which like all the other movements used by the brand, brings a seamless concert of function, design, and architecture. This self-winding automatic movement beats at a frequency of 28,800 BPH, featuring 25 jewels and a 42-hour power reserve.
Despite the majorly classic look with an esoteric refinement, Hublot Big Bang resides untroubled in the wishlists of both neophytes as well as seasoned connoisseurs.
The watch case profiles an excellent condition sans any scratches with a well-maintained bezel. However, the rubber straps show some waviness and little peel-off on the sides.
Provenance
At Second Movement, the pre-owned division of Ethos Watches, we adhere to a rigorous verification process where expert watchmakers carefully inspect every watch to certify its authenticity, ensuring it is not counterfeit. We also go to the maximum extent possible to ensure that the timepiece is not a stolen property and that all duties are paid. However, in the absence of any central database, a 100% verification is unlikely for any pre-owned entity in India. Nevertheless, we can still provide a provenance guarantee for watches purchased from Ethos.
Please note all our transactions with sellers are conducted via registered banking channels, accompanied by a signed affidavit, banking proof, and PAN card.
A specific affidavit stating the watch is not a stolen property and that all applicable duties have been paid is also obtained from the seller and is available for buyers in case of legal requirements.
We strive to build trust through transparency and diligence, outlining our verification process and the inherent limitations. Our commitment to integrity shapes every transaction, prioritising your confidence while acknowledging the realities of the pre-owned watch market.
