About the Hublot Big Bang Sang Bleu II 45mm
The Hublot Big Bang Sang Bleu II is the second chapter of Hublot's acclaimed partnership with Maxime Büchi and the Sang Bleu studio, refining and deepening the hexagonal design language that made the original collaboration an instant collector's icon. The 45mm case size is the signature format for this line, with the multi-faceted case construction echoing the geometric precision of Büchi's tattoo art in three dimensions across every lug, bezel, and crown. Case materials span Hublot's proprietary Magic Gold, an 18-karat gold alloy engineered for scratch resistance, 18-karat King Gold, brushed titanium, and Hublot's own high-tech ceramic including a striking all-green ceramic variant, giving collectors a genuine choice of material character. Reference numbers in the 418 family, such as 418.NX for titanium, 418.OX for King Gold, 418.MX for Magic Gold, 418.GX for green ceramic, and 418.CX for black ceramic, help buyers identify the exact configuration they are seeking.
What to Look For
When shopping 45mm Hublot Big Bang Sang Bleu II references, the key differentiators are case material, dial color, and diamond-setting level, since titanium references like 418.NX.2001.RX and 418.NX.5107.RX offer a lighter-weight wear versus the denser King Gold references such as 418.OX.2001.RX and 418.OX.1108.RX, which carry a more precious-metal premium. Pavé diamond dials in white or blue add significant value and visual drama, while non-pavé ceramic references like the 418.GX.5207.RX green ceramic or 418.CX.1107.RX black ceramic deliver a cleaner, monochromatic aesthetic that has its own strong collector following. Brand-new condition, confirmed by the BRAND NEW designations across most listings here, is an important value driver in this market, as unworn examples with full stickers and documentation command a notable premium over worn examples.
Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the Hublot Big Bang Sang Bleu II different from other Big Bang models?
The Sang Bleu II is a distinct artistic collaboration rather than a standard Big Bang variant, featuring a fully redesigned hexagonal case and dial architecture inspired by the geometric tattoo work of Maxime Büchi and the Sang Bleu studio. Every surface, from the bezel to the lugs and the dial indices, is engineered around that angular, multi-faceted design language, making it visually unmistakable next to other Big Bang references.
Which 45mm Sang Bleu II references are available at Bizak and Co. and are they new?
Bizak and Co. carries multiple brand-new 45mm Sang Bleu II references across titanium, King Gold, Magic Gold, green ceramic, and black ceramic case variants, including white pavé, blue pavé, and solid dial configurations spanning reference numbers in the 418.NX, 418.OX, 418.MX, 418.GX, and 418.CX families. The majority of listings are confirmed brand new, meaning they come unworn with full manufacturer packaging and documentation.
Is 45mm a comfortable size to wear daily and who is this watch suited for?
At 45mm the Big Bang Sang Bleu II is a decidedly bold, wrist-dominant piece best suited to collectors who appreciate large-case avant-garde watchmaking and the cultural intersection of fine watchmaking and contemporary art. The choice of titanium references can make the physical weight more manageable for daily wear compared to the denser King Gold or Magic Gold versions, so buyers who prioritize wearability alongside aesthetics often gravitate toward the titanium variants.
