A New Level of Crystal Clarity: Hublot Big Bang Sapphire Tourbillon 5 Days Watch Replica

At Baselworld 2018, Hublot known for its bold forays into unconventional materials and envelope-pushing technology took the still-exclusive category to a new level with the introduction of the Hublot Big Bang Sapphire Tourbillon replica, which boasts not only a crystal-clear case but a see-through skeletonized movement as well.

Sapphire Tourbillon

This watch is the latest iteration of the Hublot Big Bang Power Reserve Tourbillon 5 Days replica, the watch’s case and the movement’s tourbillon bridge are cut from blocks of sapphire. Like its predecessor from 2016, the Big Bang Unico Sapphire, this watch’s case is milled from blocks of solid sapphire, a material nearly as hard and as scratch-resistant as diamond and, consquently, extremely difficult to machine. The few non-sapphire elements in the case include the six H-shaped titanium screws that hold fast the bezel to the case body, the metal crown, and elements of the lugs and buckle, which is also titanium. The hands on the dial are rhodium-plated brass, and both they and the large Arabic hour numerals have been treated with Super-LumiNova.

45mm Case

The case of this watch measures 45mm across and 14.25mm thick, which is on the larger side, but this is Hublot after all. The entire case is made from plates of sapphire that are first cut from solid blocks and then milled and polished down to the correct shapes. This houses a skeletonized resin dial with a rhodium-plated brass handset and oversized luminous Arabic numerals, combining for a harmonious look. As one would expect, the case is thick — 14.26 mm — and offers only modest water resistance, at 30 meters.

Cliber HUB6016

The Hublot Big Bang Sapphire Tourbillon replica (Ref. 405.JX.0120.RT), in addition to the transparent sapphire case and crystal, the resin dial, and the matching translucent strap made of structured lined rubber, it also boasts a painstakingly skeletonized version of Hublot’s in-house HUB6016 manual-winding tourbillon movement — yes, the same five-day-power-reserve caliber we’ve seen in previous Hublot tourbillon models like the Hublot Big Bang Tourbillon Power Reserve 5 Days Titanium 405NX0137LR replica.



This time the main plate, with its concentric circle bridges, is made of acrylic, continuing the transparent theme throughout. It's really cool to see this caliber in this different way - it's already a striking design as is, and making it in an unorthodox material really takes things to the next level.

Price

The Hublot Big Bang Tourbillon Power Reserve 5 Days Sapphire is limited to a series of 99 pieces and is priced at $148,000. There is a Hublot Big Bang Tourbillon Power Reserve 5 Days Titanium 405NX0137LR replica, is only priced at $169.00. More informantion about Hublot watch replica, welcome to our store, prowatches.co.

Stunning Variation On The Classic IWC Pilot's Watch Automatic Spitfire Replica With Low Price

The IWC Pilot's watches were always amazing tool watches. At some point, like many other brands, IWC decided to bring more variation to the game: enter the IWC Pilot's Watch Automatic Spitfire replica. Since 1948, IWC delivered its Pilot's watches to the British Army and Navy and the Mark 11 with its caliber 89 movement is being regarded as an icon. Over the years, IWC continued to develop and innovate their Mark watch and today we are looking at the Mark XVII in their collection.

IWC Pilot's Watch Automatic Spitfire

The finishing on the case of the IWC Pilot's Watch Automatic Spitfire replica, or basically about any IWC watch out there, is pretty good. The satin-brushed parts are nicely done and the facets on the lugs are polished. The Spitfire also found its way on the case back, as you can see below. No view on the in-house movement, but a nicely engraved Spitfire. I think it would have been sufficient to keep the Spitfire on the case back and refrain from printing the name on the dial. However, I am pretty sure that many fans will have a different opinion of course.

The case back also shows the fine quality of finishing and the differences between the surfaces. This isn't new for this IWC Pilot's Watch Automatic Spitfire replica of course, but I do feel I should mention it (again). The 39mm case diameter and the modest size of the crown make it a comfortable watch on the wrist. Although the Mark XVIII is 40mm, previous Marks were in 36mm, 38mm and 39mm. The Spitfire takes it one step back from the Mark XVIII and is in 39mm.

Bronze version

Bronze is still hot it seems. Panerai (Gerald Génta to be honest) set the trend for bronze some years ago, and although I don't think it particularly belongs to the more expensive watches, it sure does look good. The dial of the bronze version is green, which really goes well with the bronze color. Also here, you will find the Spitfire printing on the dial.

Caliber 32110 Movement

IWC used different movements for their Mark series and Spitfire editions. Where they used the hand-wound caliber 89 for the Mark 11, the Mark XII used the Jaeger-LeCoultre 889/1 movement (and dubbed it IWC caliber 884). Later on, starting with the Mark XV (which came after the Mark XII) the movement changed from the JLC based automatic movement to the famous ETA2892-A2 caliber. IWC called it their caliber 37524 and made some changes to the construction as well as the finish of this movement. The Mark XVIII uses caliber 35111, based on the Sellita SW300-1. You can say the IWC Pilot's Spitfire watch replica has a slight advantage here, using their own movement. The Sellita sure isn't a bad movement, but I dare to say I prefer an in-house IWC movement for this small difference. The IWC caliber 32110 has a power reserve of 72 hours over the 42 hours of the Sellita based caliber for example.

Conclusion

For $129.00, you will buy yourself a IWC Pilot's Watch Automatic Spitfire replica with great and significant history. But more important though, is that it ticks a lot of boxes. The size is pretty good and suits most wrists, then there's the beautifully designed dial and the use of their in-house caliber with 72 hours of power reserve.
