All Hublot Big Bangs are sports watches. But this Hublot Big Bang King Diver All Black Carbon Green - one of only 500 produced - is among the few that can claim to be a true dive watch.

Hublot builds sports watches, but divers are a special breed, and dive-capable Hublot Big Bang Kings have a unique pedigree within the Nyon watchmaker's catalog. 

This 2011 limited edition Big Bang King Diver All Carbon Green features the signature Hublot attitude and all of the modern hallmarks of a dive watch including unidirectional bezel, constant seconds indicator, greater than 100 meter rated depth, and a high contrast dial.

For good measure, Hublot adds a supremely comfortable natural rubber strap with contrasting green stitching, a stainless steel deployant clasp, and a confidence-inspiring screw down crown to ensure grace "under pressure" when the time comes to hit the reefs.

True to its name, the "All-Black" includes a burly ceramic case in the headlining Vader-esque tone. Ceramic is the answer to the perennial problem of scratched watches - especially scratched PVD black watches. While the early PVD black luxury watches of the late looked the business, even the slightest scratch would put them *out* of business by revealing unsightly gleaming metal beneath. 

With ceramic, owners are assured that scratches and scuffs only reveal another layer of identical black material beneath the surface, and the incredible scratch-resistance of ceramic matches that of sapphire crystals; only diamonds can reliably scratch the kiln-fired ceramic case of this Hublot Big Bang King Diver.

A unidirectional rotating dive bezel in ceramic encircles a clean dial whose high-visibility black/green contrast defines the identity of the King Diver All-Black Green. The day glow green stands out against the matte black of the dial, and it's important to note that the green elements of the dial, like those throughout the watch, are used as accents. 

Subtle highlights of bright color animate and enliven the Hublot Big Bang Kind Diver All Black Green without overpowering the dominant murdered-out "montre noir" persona of the watch.

Inside the cavernous 48mm King Power-sized ceramic carapace, an Hublot caliber HB1400 Swiss movement provides the motive force to keep beat. With automatic winding, rugged construction, a 42-hour power reserve, and a jump date, all of the sports watch essentials are present and correct.
