Hublot Big Bang Evolution Steel 342.SB.131.RX

Hublot Big Bang Evolution Ref. 342.SB.131.RX

The Hublot Big Bang with the reference 342.SB.131.RX in a 41-mm case is the ultimate manifesto of the "Art of Fusion" initiated by Jean-Claude Biver. Since its introduction in 2005, the Big Bang line has revolutionized modern watch design and is considered one of the most progressive icons of the 21st century. This specific version combines cold, industrial Steel with a scratch-resistant, deep black Ceramic bezel and the pioneering Rubber strap typical of Hublot. With its perfectly balanced 41-mm diameter, it offers the full visual impact and masculine architecture of the classic Big Bang, yet is significantly more versatile and comfortable to wear daily than its larger 44-mm siblings.

• The innovative sandwich case construction: The 41-mm case impresses with a highly complex multi-component design. Satin-finished and polished Steel mesh merges here with side inserts and flanks made of black Kevlar composite resin. This interplay of materials gives the watch its distinctive, three-dimensional depth.

• The striking black Ceramic bezel: The visual center is the vertically satin-finished bezel made of high-tech, deep black Ceramic. It is absolutely scratch-resistant and held by the six characteristic H-shaped titanium screws – the unmistakable design statement of the Hublot house.

• The sporty dial in Carbon look: The dial fascinates with an embossed texture in woven Carbon look, which breaks the light in a sporty-technical way. The Tri-Compax layout of the Chronograph subdials at 3, 6, and 9 o’clock fits seamlessly, while the rhodium-plated appliqués and hands with white luminous material ensure excellent legibility.

• The reliable Chronograph caliber HUB1145: At the heart of the Big Bang works the automatic movement HUB1145. This highly precise caliber features a skeletonized rotor, which can be admired through the Sapphire Crystal case back. It offers a power reserve of approximately 42 hours as well as a date display harmoniously positioned between 4 and 5 o’clock.

• The revolutionary Rubber strap: Hublot was the historic pioneer in combining precious metals or Steel with Rubber. The structured black Rubber strap of this reference not only emphasizes the uncompromising sporty look but is extremely durable, waterproof, and offers unparalleled comfort for everyday wear.

• High-quality clasp system: The Rubber strap is secured by a massive Steel folding clasp with black PVD coating, which fits perfectly to the wrist and guarantees a secure feeling when worn.

• Robust protection and everyday suitability: Thanks to the distinctive, protected winding crown and the screwed construction, the Chronograph is water-resistant up to a depth of 100 meters (10 ATM). The double anti-reflective Sapphire Crystal ensures a crystal-clear view of the Carbon dial.

• A modern design classic for individualists: The Hublot Big Bang 41mm Ref. 342.SB.131.RX is much more than a precise timepiece – it is a powerful lifestyle statement. It perfects the balance between pure sportiness and luxurious extravagance and is the perfect choice for connoisseurs seeking an expressive alternative to the classic mainstream.
