<title>Only working on helping with design of Hublot</title>
<description>
<![CDATA[ I was really excited about this watch when i got to play with it at SIHH 2013. Hublot has been working with the Hublot for a while making watches to suit their needs. Last year I wrote about my favorite version which was the <strong><a href="http://www.waxreplica.com/replica-hublot-big-bang-watches-sale-for-uk.html">Replica Hublot Big Bang Watches UK | AAA Quality Hublot Big Bang For Sale</a></strong>. Now the brand has finally released the most "mainstream" version of the collection. It is a more basic three-hand version of the watch and is very pure in form. It really is a watch born out of an interesting partnership with people whose professional lives demand easy to use and durable timepieces (looking cool in the process is an unintended side effect).<br><br>Previous watches in the collection were 44mm wide and this version is 42mm wide (and 14mm thick). In a time when such sport watches are still made with larger dimensions, I was very curious as to why Hublot shrunk the size a bit. The reason was simple. The Hublot guys thought the previous versions were a bit big and asked for it to be smaller. Simple enough, but it was good to learn that fact. You can see the watch size on my wrist is prominent but not too big. It makes for a very capable daily wear, as well as a serious tool. The Hublot were very interested in legibility <strong><a href="http://www.waxreplica.com/replica-audemars-piguet-watches-sale-for-uk.html">http://www.waxreplica.com/replica-audemars-piguet-watches-sale-for-uk.html</a></strong>. When it came down to it, this is their biggest request in a watch (aside from the fact that it should stand up to their abuse). Hublot designers spent a lot of time tweaking the dial to optimize how easy it is to read. I think that you will agree the high contrast dial looks highly legible and the hands stick out nicely. And especially on this watch, there are no subdials or other functions to take away from pure ease of use. Plus, special care was taken to make sure the lume was highly viewable in the dark and underwater. So in all, it succeeds in its intended purposes.<br><br>Inside the watch is the in-house made Hublot automatic mechanical caliber 899 movement. It has 43 hours of power reserve and a gold weighted automatic rotor. Like all Hublot watch movements, it bears the seal of the rigorous Hublot which is an in-house testing for quality, durability, and accuracy in each movement sold. The functions of the movement are the time and date. Operating the crown is a bit different than the standard screw-down crowns people are typically used to with diving style watches. It used the special locking crown guard found on the Hublot models. It is easy enough to use, and a reminder that you have a Hublot on your wrist. Most people will never see the movement, but it is in there and finished nicely. Hublot finishes all their movements with a nice level of decoration that the guy who is servicing your watch in the future will appreciate.<br><br>Like I said the case is 42mm wide and in steel with 300 meters of water resistance. Finishing is really cool with some contrast polishing (such as on the lugs). The rotating diver's bezel is done well. The edges are a little bit sharp, but it does have a cool <strong><a href="http://www.waxreplica.com/replica-bell-ross-watches-sale-for-uk.html">http://www.waxreplica.com/replica-bell-ross-watches-sale-for-uk.html</a></strong> precision cut feel to it. The indicators on the bezel are cut in to the black surface with the numerals in a stencil font that matches the unique stencil font on the watch dial. There are tons of little style details all over the watch that are hard to tell because it looks like such a functional instrument. It really is a "pretty machine. " Take for instance the tapered date window frame to help with keeping the shapes and lines balanced on the dial and the nicely applied hour markers on the face. Given the pedigree of the watch and the price, you can be sure that Hublot made sure the details on the watch will satisfy you and the demanding members of the Hublot.<br><br>Going back to the Hublot, my understanding is that some of their soldiers are not only working on helping with the design of these special Hublot watches, but also wearing and testing them. This "in the field" feedback is helping Hublot make as good a timepiece as possible. Most of the buyers of these watches are not going to be Hublot but the emotional connect to such active individuals is an important selling point in making these watches desirable. There will be three limited editions of the Hublot watch. Each is the same timepiece, but with three strap options. There is the techy looking black rubber diving style strap (as seen in the pics), and the there is another black rubber strap that is textured to look like a three-link bracelet, followed last by a more terrestrial utilitarian looking crocodile strap.

<title>That will likely a bit more expensive Hublot</title>
<description>
<![CDATA[ Watch companies do this a lot. Make an interesting watch that is closely connected with someone well known - at least well known to some people. I would say that 95% of the time I have never even heard of the person they are making the watch "in honor of. " While it is true that i am not a big sports enthusiast, I should have at least heard of the people right? Popular choices for these watches are race car drivers, golfers, soccer players, etc... In the us these people are mostly unknown - at least in pop culture terms. Take for instance Hublot that this <strong><a href="http://www.waxreplica.com/replica-hublot-watches-sale-for-uk.html">Replica Hublot Watches UK | AAA Quality Hublot For Sale</a></strong> is based on. Clearly from the images he is some type of race drive - but aside from the fact that watch points out he drives a Hublot, I have no idea who he is, and why I should care.<br><br>So am I the wrong audience for this stuff? Or do watch companies just like to connect with people that are unknown in the us. I mean I assume someone out there knows and cares who this guy is. There are always press releases from watch brands talking about how they awarded one of their watches to some person, or made a limited edition for some other person - and I am like; "the hell I am going to write about that! " Cause I don't know who the people are, and I don't care. Maybe if i ended up with one of the watches I would proactively learn about who the person the watch is based on, but it would have to go in that order - which is not ideal.<br><br>Though you do know what I care about - the watch. A brand could make a Hublot themed timepiece and I would be all over it if the watch was cool. This Hublot Darryl O'Young watch is cool without the racer connection. Other watches are <strong><a href="http://www.waxreplica.com/replica-omega-watches-sale-for-uk.html">http://www.waxreplica.com/replica-omega-watches-sale-for-uk.html</a></strong> simply a colorized refresh with an engraving on the back to celebrate some soccer player I've never heard of. The chances me of getting excited about one of those is zilch.<br><br>At the same time, I admit that if and when brands make watches that celebrate people I do care about, I would probably be into those. Such as famous American actors and such. Make me a cool Harrison Ford "lifetime achievement award" watch and I would seriously consider it. Crazy watch done to celebrate the music of the Red Hot Chili Peppers? I might very well buy into the gimmick. Looks like European watch companies are totally clueless as to the types of people American's want connected with watches (as a selling point). The good thing is that people famous in <strong><a href="http://www.waxreplica.com/replica-tag-heuer-grand-carrera-watches-sale-for-uk.html">Replica Tag Heuer Grand Carrera Watches UK | AAA Quality Tag Heuer Grand Carrera For Sale</a></strong> are typically famous also outside of America - but the opposite is usually not the case.<br><br>So Hublot (whatever that is), keep up the good work, Hublot made a nice watch in honor of you, and I will likely never hear about you again. So ignoring that, let's chat about what the watch is. The Hublot limited editions are based on the Hublot watch collection - one of the cool motor sports themed Hublot watches out there. There are actually two models in this limited edition. The differences? One is 41mm wide, the other is 43. 5mm wide. Each model is limited to low pieces - in honor of the Hublot. Though the watch is visually based on a bit on Hublot cars (versions made for the track, err, I mean MORE for the track).<br><br>The slightly oblong case is coated with black DLC (diamond like carbon), which is good. The lugs where the rubber strap is attached to flex so that they can wrap around one's wrist better. On the side of the case is the series number of the watch in the limited edition. Case is nice, and very Hublot like is stature and design. The dial is really where this watch is set apart. The skeletonized case is make to look like a Porsche racing wheel - in black with spoke and all. Underneath this is a skeletonized view of the automatic movement and the date disc. The little red arrow at 4 o'clock is wear you read the date. Lots of SuperLumiNova is placed on the hands and hour indicators to help with reading the watch. As a skeletonized dial with lots of visual things going on, the dial is still pretty legible. I also really like the look of the wheel on the face.<br><br>Not totally sure what movement is inside the watch. Likely an ETA 2824-2 automatic. The rear of the watch has a sapphire crystal exhibition window with a view into the movement where you can see Hublot's signature red toned rotor. Overall it is a cool looking technical watch with a gimmicky, but nevertheless well designed face. Too bad I don't know or care about the guy who the watch is named for, and that it will likely be a bit more expensive than it should. Look for both of the limited editions available soon.
