Welcome to the world of Hublot. Today, we'll be your guide to the features and facets of the Hublot Big Bang Aero Bang Gold. It's 18 carat red gold chronograph. It's best explored by starting from the outside and working our way in. 

You'll note it features a corresponding red gold, twin triggered deploying clasp. Now the twin triggers assure maximum security on the wrist. Not friction fit. This is the level of peace of mind you want on a large and heavy precious metal sports watch. You must depress both triggers to open the clasp body. And once inside, you can see the attention to detail prevails throughout with an Hublot H-fashion lower clasp. You can actually see the slash cut of the Hublot logo echoed in the clasp body, and to minder less system that tucks in any excess strap underneath the clasp body for a clean look once you have the watch side down. There are no minder loops, no excess strap is visible. 

And the strap itself is remarkably handsome. As with Hublot's precedent materials fusion dominates here. A combination of a rectangular scale, matte black, alligator leather with a monotone stitch. It also features Hublot's signature supple natural vocalnized rubber strap. This has been a feature of Hublot watches since the very first landmark models in the early 1980s. Then, as now, in juxtaposition with precious metal, the taper of the strap flows into the form of the lugs and you can see more contrast here in the form of satin finish on the lug hoods as well as the polish of those H pattern Hublot bolts. 

Now on the flank of the case you can see satin finish juxtaposed against the black polymer inserts as well as the fully expressed bezel gasket. Again, Hublot is all about expressing the materials, but also the machine. And the case has the imagery of a structure in the intermediate phases of construction with it's skeleton still visible. This continues on the bezel where you can see satin finish contrast with the polished titanium H pattern Hublot bezel bolts. 

And moving in board, we see the name sake of the watch, the open dial, or arrow in Hublot parlins. That allows us to glimpse the machine beneath. We can see the caliber 4214 underneath the skeletonized dial, but it doesn't impede legibility. Unlike conventional open dials, Hublot is careful to make sure that this one is easily legible in day light or no light. Now you can see high contrast, gold applied hour indices, also hands at center all featuring luminescent material. You'll note that luminescent material is even applied to the sub registered hands for maximum legibility in day light, low light or no light. 

Now let's start the chronograph for a little bit of extra eye candy and you'll note the machine underneath expressing a subtle date window. Beautifully integrated. It's there when you want it, it disappears into the composition when you don't for an uncluttered appearance. And on the case back, you can gaze upon that Hublot automatic caliber 4214. Now you can see the rotor's been partially skeletonized to keep the movement unobscured. Also, 100 meter water resistance secures the movement from intrusion of the sea, the pool or wherever you may find yourself this summer or vacation season. So, robust and water resistant. 

It also features a number of underlying refinements including a 42 hour power reserve hacking seconds, so when you pull the crown, you stop the balance and you can synchronize for reference time. And a quick set function for that dates you can rapidly cycle and correct it should the watch run down, or should you encounter an irregular length month. All of this framed by the beautiful intensity of that 18 carat red gold.
