Hublot has for several years focused on shaping and coloring sapphire and this expertise is showcased in its latest offering the Spirit of Big Bang Yellow Sapphire 42mm.As part of its colorimetric quest Hublot has created black, blue, and red sapphires since 2016. The Switzerland-based company has also employed cutting edge technology to push the boundaries of engineering and chemistry and create colored sapphires that are uniform and transparent. As Hublot has revolutionized how sapphire is used, it has mastered working with the ultra-resistant material that is complex to machine. In 2017, the watchmaker while taking the Art of Fusion further created large colored sapphires.The Spirit of Big Bang Yellow Sapphire comes with a primary color of yellow that is described by the company as being akin to a “solar hue.” To give the sapphire the distinct solar hue Hublot fused copper with aluminum oxide, and the colored sapphire that is used to create the 42 mm case is scratch-resistant and transparent. The lightweight sapphire used in the build also ensures that the overall weight of the timepiece is low and it tips the scales at 107 grams.Onboard the timepiece is a HUB4700 Self-winding Skeleton Chronograph Movement with a power reserve of 50 Hours. The architecture is similar to the legendary Zenith El Primero calibre and the watch is extremely durable and resistant to wear and tear associated with prolonged daily use. Water resistant up to a depth of 50m it is also ideally suited for use in areas where splashes are common. The watch comes with a Titanium Deployant Buckle Clasp that is plated with a black color and the strap is created from transparent yellow structured material.Click on the slideshow to check the timepiece.http://www.blouinartinfo.comFounder: Louise Blouin Read more
