About Ceramic Watches
High-tech ceramic, sometimes called zirconia ceramic, became a signature material in luxury watchmaking because it is far harder than steel, virtually impervious to everyday scratching, and hypoallergenic against the skin. Hublot has been a leading proponent of the material, using it extensively across the Big Bang family in both all-black Black Magic configurations and striking white ceramic variants. The Big Bang Connected E brings this ceramic expertise into the smartwatch space, pairing the brand's bold 44mm and 42mm case architecture with a full touchscreen and connected functionality, resulting in a piece that sits at the intersection of Swiss luxury design and modern wearable technology. References like the 450.CI.1100.RX in Black Magic and the 450.HX.1100.RX in white ceramic illustrate how dramatically the choice of ceramic color can change the personality of an otherwise identical case.
What to Look For
When comparing references in this collection, pay close attention to case size, with the 42mm 440-series offering a slightly more understated profile versus the 44mm 450-series, and to ceramic color, since black and white ceramics attract very different wearers and tend to hold value differently in the secondary market. Special-edition references such as the UEFA Champions League 450.EX.1100.RX.UCL23 carry limited-production appeal that can influence collectibility and resale premium over standard production references.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why do luxury watch collectors prefer ceramic cases?
Ceramic cases resist scratching far better than stainless steel or titanium, meaning the watch maintains its factory finish after years of daily wear. The material is also colorfast, so black ceramic stays uniformly dark and white ceramic stays bright without the tarnishing or coating wear sometimes seen on PVD-treated metals.
What is the difference between the Hublot Big Bang Connected E 42mm and 44mm ceramic references?
The 44mm references, identified by the 450-series reference numbers such as 450.CI.1100.RX and 450.HX.1100.RX, deliver a bolder wrist presence in line with classic Big Bang proportions, while the 42mm 440.CI.1100.RX offers a slightly more compact footprint in the same Black Magic ceramic. Both generations of the Connected E share Hublot's signature ceramic construction and smartwatch functionality, so the primary decision comes down to wrist size and preferred case diameter.
