Continuing the monochrome series, which focuses on timeless neutral shades.
Hublot has introduced the fifth model in the Essential collection, which debuted in 2022. This is not a separate collection within the brand's lineup but a continuous series united by a neutral color palette. Initially, the collection focused on gray (with 3 Essential Grey models released to the market), but starting last year, the line has expanded to include watches in an elegant taupe gray-brown shade.
The Spirit of Big Bang Essential Taupe series is presented in two models within the signature barrel-shaped Spirit of Big Bang case. They share taupe-colored dials and straps. Each model comes with two interchangeable straps, a rubber one and a fabric one with a Velcro closure.
The first model is a three-hand watch with a date indicator. It features a 32 x 10.8 mm case made of satin-finished steel. The dial is guilloché in a 'sunray' pattern. The novelty is powered by the HUB1120 caliber - an automatic movement with a power reserve of up to 40 hours.
The second model is a chronograph. The watch has a titanium case measuring 42 x 14.1 mm. The dial, featuring a 'checkerboard' pattern, is made of forged carbon. This model is powered by the HUB4700 caliber, equipped with automatic winding and a 50-hour power reserve.
Both models are limited to 200 pieces and are available exclusively online at hublot.com. The watches come with the Hublot 5+5 warranty, extending the international warranty to 10 years. The approximate price is €14,600 for the three-hand watch and €24,300 for the chronograph.
