The story behind this Hublot Big Bang Aspen
Hublot bases its identity on the art of fusion, combining a variety of materials. The Big Bang Aspen model brings the world of the manufacture to winter sports resorts. This model meets the demand for a sporty chronograph offering excellent readability and technical durability. Reference 342.CL.230.RW.114 exemplifies this approach. The Aspen range has been designed to contrast with the dark colours usually associated with technical watches. The use of white ceramic evokes snow-covered landscapes and ensures clear time-reading whilst maintaining a understated aesthetic.

The movement is powered by the HUB1145 mechanical self-winding calibre, offering a 42-hour power reserve. This mechanism comprises 287 components, visible through the open sapphire crystal case back. The white rubber strap features a textured pattern ensuring a secure fit. It fastens with a steel and titanium folding clasp. The watch is water-resistant to 100 metres.
