27 June 2023 SPIRIT OF BIG BANG ESSENTIAL GREY The Essential Grey features a variation in style in luminous grey and is exclusively available online. A unique approach to watchmaking for a handful of collectors who make each vintage their own. Colours are like limited editions: if you use a lot of them, they lose their singularity. The Essential Grey collection was born of this premise: a single colour, a single model, once a year, through a single channel. It's an approach that appeals both to the most discerning collectors, who make all the vintages their own, one after the other to form a collection that's as consistent as it is complete, and to the more occasional fans of the 'Essential Grey' line, who are aware of its recurrence and patiently await the arrival of the model that suits them perfectly. Will it be the 'Spirit of Big Bang Essential Grey'? Everyone will make up their own mind but without delay. Like all Essential Greys, it will be the first and the last of its kind. Furthermore, only 100 pieces will be manufactured. These extremely rare pieces will only be available online at hublot.com. This is an exceptional procedure for Hublot, but it reflects the company's desire to offer everyone an equal opportunity to acquire this uncommon model. The aim is to ensure that all collectors are treated equally, whether or not they live near one of the brand's 130 sales outlets. Last but not least, this 2023 version will be twice as rare as the previous one in 2022 (100 pieces compared with 200). This year, it's Spirit of Big Bang's turn to be part of the Essential Grey line. This historic collection, the only one in Hublot's barrel shape, is made from 100% titanium: including the case, bezel, screws, crown, push-pieces, case-back and folding clasp. The idea is to use the chromatic properties of titanium, the soft, radiant grey that the Manufacture wished to sandblast and grind, as a natural and obvious base for the Essential Grey version. For the occasion, the rubber strap has been matched, lined with black thread on the outer edge to mark the vanishing line. When it comes to the movement, Hublot has carefully treated all the components in the same way. However, to preserve the timepiece’s legibility, the Manufacture has introduced very subtle variations to this Essential Grey, notably on the date disc (window at half-past four), on the chronograph counters (minutes at 3 o'clock, hours at 6 o'clock), while playing with the multiple finishes: mirror polished, drawn lines, graining, luminescent hour markers, rhodium-plated hands and a play on the different levels of depth. This approach ensures that all the indications on the dial are perfectly legible, while enhancing the skeleton architecture of the HUB4700 Calibre. This automatic chronograph movement is cadenced at a high frequency (5 Hz, or 36,000 vibrations per hour). It has a 50-hour power reserve. In this new iteration, the 42-mm case offers the Spirit of Big Bang a vast field of expression. The watch retains its two lateral push-pieces, and its crown provides water-resistance to 100 metres (10 ATM). And, as usual, the Spirit of Big Bang Essential Grey features the One-Click system. This allows you to change bracelets in a fraction of a second, without any tools. Available in two variations: grey grooved rubber, and grey with Velcro buckle and ceramic.

It is activated at the very moment of sale when the watch is registered with Hublot and entitles you to have your watch fully serviced free of charge once your warranty has expired. From recovering the original finish, renewing the water-resistance, overhauling the movement and controlling the quality, the new Spirit of Big Bang Essential Grey is automatically eligible for a rejuvenating treatment as part of Hublot’s Full Service. “The watch industry tends to cash in on major trends in dial colours, such as blue or green, which only seem to last a few seasons. That is not our approach. Hublot is not a follower of trends. In fact, in most cases, our models don't even have a dial! At Hublot, if we believe in a colour, we work with it across the whole model, and make a limited series to preserve its value for the sake of our collectors. Either we go all out, or we don't do it at all.” Ricardo Guadalupe HUBLOT CEO HUBLOT RAISES THE STANDARDS: 5+5 WARRANTY Our confidence in every watch. Your assurance for 10 years.
