What the specs mean on the wrist
The case is 44mm and made from King Gold, which is Hublot's proprietary rose gold alloy. That size wears large on a slim wrist but sits well on a medium to large wrist. The black rubber strap keeps the watch light and comfortable for daily wear despite the precious metal case.
The bezel is set with pavé diamonds, which adds serious brilliance against the black index dial. The movement is automatic, so no battery and no hand-winding needed for everyday use. You get full box and papers, which matters for ownership history and any future service or sale.
The dealer’s take
At our desk, clients who ask for this reference usually want one thing: maximum presence with a sporty feel. They like that the rubber strap makes a diamond and King Gold watch feel wearable every day, not just for events. The most common question we hear is about the diamond setting and whether the stones are factory original. They are — this piece is brand new, straight from Hublot with full papers.
The second thing buyers ask about is the King Gold case versus standard rose gold. Hublot developed King Gold as their own alloy, and that detail matters to serious collectors. Some clients also cross-shop other Big Bang Original references before they decide. We keep several in stock and encourage side-by-side comparisons.
What to check before you buy a Big Bang Original
- Diamond Setting Integrity: On any pavé bezel, look at every stone under a loupe. Check for missing stones, uneven prongs, or stones that sit loose. On a brand-new piece with papers this risk is low, but always verify before you leave the counter.
- Authenticity and Papers: Confirm the reference number on the caseback matches the papers and the tag. With this reference, the full number is 301.PX.1180.RX.1704. Do not accept a mismatch.
- Case and Bezel Condition: Even a brand-new watch can pick up a mark in transit or display. Inspect the King Gold case and the bezel setting under good light before you accept the piece.
- Crown and Pushers: Test the chronograph pushers and the crown. They should operate with a clean, firm feel and no grinding. Any roughness on a new piece is a reason to pause and ask questions.
Who the 301.PX.1180.RX.1704 is for
This watch is for the buyer who wants a bold 44mm chronograph in precious metal but does not want to give up everyday wearability. The rubber strap and automatic movement make it practical. The King Gold case and diamond bezel make it a statement. It works for someone who wears one watch and wants it to cover formal and casual occasions.
Alternatives worth considering
