Hublot’s Spirit of Big Bang Veuve Clicquot Polo Classic is a limited-edition watch created to celebrate the brand’s ongoing partnership with the prestigious Veuve Clicquot Polo Classic event. Hublot has been the official timekeeper for the event, which blends polo, champagne, and fashion in an exciting social gathering. With some watches as well…
The Spirit of Big Bang collection from Hublot is known for its tonneau-shaped cases and modern design elements. The Veuve Clicquot Polo Classic edition continues this tradition with a 42-millimeter case made from matte black frosted carbon.
Open-worked dial for the chronograph
The design concept of the dial is well-known. An open-worked construction with an open date wheel highlighted between the 4 and 5 o’clock position. Furthermore, a chronograph setup with a 30-minute counter at 3 and a 12-hour counter at 6. At 9 o’clock are the small seconds.
Here, the hands of all dials, even the central hour and minute hands, have a dark color, which makes them a little harder to read. Only the central chronograph hand stands out with a yellow-orange color. The upside of all these dark colors is the watch’s sinister looks and a nice view of the movement that has metal color tones as well.
The Hublot Spirit of Big Bang Veuve Clicquot Polo Classic has a power reserve of 50 hours
The mechanics of the movement within are from the Hublot caliber HUB4700, a skeleton automatic. It is based on Zenith’s caliber El Primero 400 and provides a 50-hour power reserve.
The movement’s visible elements are designed to complement the overall aesthetic, with a skeletonized structure that allows you to view the intricate components. Also viewable through its sapphire case back which is marked by the “Special Edition XX/30” engraving as the model is limited to 30 pieces only.
Pricing of the Big Bang Veuve Clicquot Polo Classic
The Spirit of Big Bang Veuve Clicquot Polo Classic comes with two strap options: black rubber with orange alligator leather and black rubber with black alligator leather. Both options include a black ceramic and titanium deployant buckle. The straps can easily be swapped.
With a price of 30 to 35k, this limited edition timepiece is positioned as a high-end luxury offering. Which is in line with drinking champagne and playing polo of course.
