About the Hublot Big Bang Original Chronograph
Introduced in 2005, the Hublot Big Bang redefined luxury sport watchmaking by fusing polished precious metals with industrial materials like ceramic, carbon fibre, and vulcanized rubber in a bold 44mm case that became instantly recognizable on the wrist. The Big Bang Original Chronograph is the foundational expression of that vision, featuring a multi-pusher chronograph complication integrated into the brand's signature porthole-inspired case with exposed screws and an H-shaped bezel. Across references such as the steel 301.SX.1170.RX, the gold 301.PX.1180.RX, the gold and ceramic carbon fibre dial 301.PM.1780.RX, and the ceramic blue dial 301.CI.7170.RX, the collection demonstrates how radically material choice can transform a single design language. Hublot's use of diamond-set bezels on references like the 301.SX.1170.RX.1704 and 301.PX.1180.RX.1704 further extends the line into high-jewellery territory without sacrificing the sporty DNA.
What to Look For
When shopping for a Big Bang Original Chronograph, the case material is the primary value driver: gold references command a significant premium over stainless steel, while full ceramic cases occupy their own niche prized for scratch resistance and a distinctive matte aesthetic. Diamond density matters too, as pavé configurations with full bezel coverage carry higher price points than partial diamond or no-diamond references, so clarifying the exact reference number ensures you know precisely what level of gem-setting you are buying. The black rubber strap is standard across most references and pairs with either a black dial or, in the case of the 301.CI.7170.RX, a striking blue dial that makes the ceramic model especially collectible.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are the Hublot Big Bang Original Chronograph watches at Bizak and Co. brand new?
Yes, every Big Bang Original Chronograph listed in this collection is brand new and has not been previously worn or registered. Bizak and Co. ships each piece with its original box, papers, and manufacturer documentation, giving you full peace of mind on authenticity.
What is the difference between the steel and gold Big Bang Original Chronograph references?
The steel references such as 301.SX.1170.RX use stainless steel for both the case and bezel components, while the gold references such as 301.PX.1180.RX are crafted in 18-karat gold, which accounts for the substantial difference in price between the two families. Both share the same 44mm case diameter, black dial, and black rubber strap configuration, so the choice is primarily about material prestige and budget.
