Hands On: The Hublot Big Bang Tourbillon Automatic Orange Sapphire Watch Replica

Hublot, the master craftsman of sapphire crystal cases previously presented in clear, black, yellow, blue and red, has announced a new color for its transparent sapphire palette in 2021: orange. the Hublot Big Bang Tourbillon Automatic Orange Sapphire watch replica 419.JO.0120.RT is the first orange sapphire crystal watch. This aesthetic novelty is matched by a high-end technical feat in the new Big Bang Tourbillon Automatic Orange Sapphire replica. Limited edition of 50 pieces.

Case & Dial

At a glance, this watch is “just” a modern generation replica Hublot Big Bang when looking at the distinctive and modern-looking case shape. Its size is 45mm wide and 15.3mm thick — more or less the same as your standard Big Bang UNICO Chronograph watches. The case is a translucent orange color, and which is produced out of sapphire crystal. The case features all the Big Bang hallmarks with lots of facets, layers, edges, screws, and other parts that look technical in some way. The watch also features Hublot’s signature quick-change system for the strap, which uses a button on the top side of the case and is meant to evoke the seat belt buckle in a sports car.

Sapphire crystal isn’t only used for the case of this Hublot Big Bang watch replica, but also the dial. Clear sapphire crystal is used as a movement bridge, which doubles as the watch dial. On it are applied hour markers while a hole is cut out in order to provide space for the spinning flying tourbillon. The movement is known as the Hublot caliber MHUB6035 and is the first automatic tourbillon with a micro-rotor produced by the brand. This particular orientation of dial features and parts isn’t new, but micro-rotor automatic tourbillon movements are still rare.

At 6 o’clock on the dial, you can view the flying tourbillon with its spinning 3Hz escapement assembly. Legibility of hands and indices are enhanced by orange luminescent coating. 

Movement

Beating at the frequency of 3 Hz or 21,600 vibrations per hour, the new manufacture MHUB6035 tourbillon movement is not only equipped with self-winding and ceramic ball bearings but also with a reinvented architecture with a micro-rotor visible on the dial side and three sapphire bridges. The tourbillon cage at 6 o'clock makes a revolution on its axis every minute to compensate the effects of gravity on the running rate. 

Crafted from grey 22-carat gold  and finely decorated (bevelling, sunray-brushing and sand-blasting) and positioned at 12 o'clock to visually balance the tourbillon, the micro-rotor ensures a minimum power reserve of three days (72 hours).
