Greetings. I'm Tim of Govberg and welcome to the world of Hublot. Today, I'll be your guide to the proper usage, care and maintenance of your Hublot Big Bang One Click King Gold diamonds. 39 millimeters and Hublot King Gold.

Now this automatic winding timepiece can never the less be manually wound should it run down. By taking the crown in it's first position flushed the case and turning it in a clockwise direction, approximately ten to twenty times. This should be sufficient to start the watch and you'll know it's ticking as the seconds hand begins to advance. At this point you can put the watch on the wrist and the natural course of kinetic action on the wrist in conjunction with the automatic winding router on the case back will continue to energize the mainspring and keep the watch running.

But should you wish to wind the watch to it's maximum rated power reserve of fifty hours, simply continue turning the crown in a clockwise direction. Due to the bridal style mainspring, which relieves any excess tension, you cannot accidentally over wind this automatic timepiece by manual means.

Now once you have the watch functioning, there are two refinements that will assist in more precise time setting.

The first is known as hacking or stop seconds. It holds the balance of the watch as you'll note, the seconds hand is stopped. This allows precise synchronization to the second against due note accurate reference time. It's easiest to do by stopping the seconds hand even with the index of twelve and then advancing the watch in this outermost crown position to the next nearest minute. Wait for the reference time to catch up with the set position of the watch then push the crown in and it will restart the beat of the balance. Now you've synchronized the watch to a reference time.

Now, there is a quick set function for the date. In the second position between that outermost setting position and the flush position where you wind, there is a quick set function. Now you can turn the crown in either direction. And this is a unique feature of the watches, Hublot Caliber 1-7-1-0. As the quick set for the date works in both directions, you can advance or rewind the date to reach the most appropriate date quickly and easily. However, you should note that you should never ever engage the quick set system for the date by manual means when the watch is between the hours of 8pm and 3am. That's the period during which the automatic date jumper is engaged in the change over and using the manual quick set during this period will severely damage the movement.

Now it's important to know that this watch is named the One Click because of it's unique, quick release lug system. The system works much like an automotive seat belt buckle and that pressing the plunger in the middle of the lug hood releases the strap for easy changing without resorting to jeweler's tools.

Moreover, the signature 'one click' can be heard when the strap has been returned into the lugs and is seed and secure.

Moreover, there's a pull tab release underneath the clasp that can be used to remove the clasp from the strap. Remove the clasp from the strap. Remove the strap from the case and the watch can be fitted to accessory straps to change it's looks or functionality.

Now there are three primary hazards to your time piece. The first and greatest being water. Your watch is water resistant to 100 meters, which Hublot rates as sufficient for shallow snorkeling, scuba diving, and swimming.  Displacing the crown to wind or set will compromise the water integrity of your watch. Avoid accidental drownings. Disuse the crown whenever there's water on the case or the watch is submerged.

Now magnetism is also a significant concern because it's a silent killer of your watch's isochronism and precision. That metallic hair spring sits at the center of your watch's heartbeat. It's regulator.

Finally, consider the hazard that shock poses to your time piece. As firearms marksmanship rough motorcycling such as dirt biking, mountain biking, tennis, golf, or batting. All of these create shock that poses a hazard to a fine Swiss mechanical movement. Disuse the watch during any of these activities.

Finally, with respect to comprehensive mechanical service, Hublot recommends every 3 to 5 years having a comprehensive service performed on your time piece. The best time to check to see if such a service is necessary is during one of your water checks. Every 24 months when the watch is being water tested, also have it's cosmetic condition and precision evaluated by a qualified agent of Hublot service.
