About Diamond Hublot Big Bang Watches
The Hublot Big Bang debuted in 2005 and immediately redefined luxury sports watchmaking by fusing precious metals with rubber, a then-radical combination Hublot calls the Art of Fusion. The Big Bang Original Chronograph is the foundational expression of that philosophy, housing a mechanical chronograph movement inside a multi-part case architecture that lends itself naturally to diamond setting across the bezel, lugs, and case flanks. Hublot offers these diamond editions in two primary case metals, polished steel and 18-karat gold, and in two diamond-density levels, a bezel-and-lug set configuration and a full pave configuration that blankets far more surface area with stones. The result is a watch that is simultaneously a certified Swiss chronograph and a piece of wearable fine jewelry.
What to Look For
When comparing references in this collection, the key distinctions are case metal and diamond coverage: steel references such as 301.SX.1170.RX.1104 carry diamonds on the bezel and lugs, while the pave variant 301.SX.1170.RX.1704 extends diamond setting across a greater portion of the case, and the same logic applies to the gold references 301.PX.1180.RX.1104 and 301.PX.1180.RX.1704. Gold cases command a higher price point reflecting both the intrinsic metal value and the additional labor of setting diamonds in 18-karat gold, while steel pave models offer an entry point into high-density diamond coverage without the full gold premium. Buyers focused on resale value and wearability should weigh case metal preference first, then decide how much diamond coverage suits their lifestyle.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the pave diamond and standard diamond Big Bang references?
The standard diamond references, such as 301.SX.1170.RX.1104 in steel and 301.PX.1180.RX.1104 in gold, feature diamonds set on the bezel and lugs of the 44mm case. The pave references, 301.SX.1170.RX.1704 and 301.PX.1180.RX.1704, extend diamond coverage more extensively across the case surfaces, increasing total carat weight and visual impact significantly.
Are these Hublot diamond watches brand new?
Yes, every watch in this collection is listed as brand new, meaning it comes unworn with its original Hublot box, papers, and manufacturer warranty. Bizak and Co. authenticates all pieces before shipping, giving buyers full confidence in provenance and condition.
Does the 44mm Big Bang wear large on the wrist?
The Hublot Big Bang Original in 44mm is considered a bold, statement-sized watch and is most comfortable on medium to large wrists, though the ergonomic case shaping and flexible rubber strap help distribute the weight naturally. Buyers who prefer a slightly more understated profile may want to try the case on before purchasing, but the 44mm remains the classic and most recognized Big Bang size.
