The story behind this Hublot Big Bang
Since its revival in the mid-2000s, the House of Hublot has been able to impose a bold vision of modern watchmaking, based on the concept of the Art of Fusion. This Hublot Big Bang Luna Rossa, reference 301.CM.131.RX.LUN06, perfectly embodies this philosophy, celebrating the prestigious partnership with the Prada syndicate's Italian sailing team, challenger in the famous America's Cup. Limited to just 1000 pieces worldwide, this numbered edition fuses technical materials from the world of competitive sailing with the architectural design of the Big Bang. More than just a watch, this chronograph is a tribute to performance and innovation, designed for lovers of regattas and exclusive timepieces. Hublot has succeeded here in creating a radical sports aesthetic that retains the codes of contemporary luxury.
Case, caliber and bracelet of this Big Bang
The 44 mm-diameter case features the model's signature complex "sandwich" construction. It combines a lightweight titanium inner structure with a satin-finish black ceramic bezel, secured by the emblematic H-shaped screws. The case's side lugs are protected by black Kevlar and composite resin inserts, reinforcing the piece's stealthy, technical allure. Beneath the anti-reflective sapphire crystal, the black dial is distinguished by its carbon-like screened texture, crossed by the famous red "Luna Rossa" line, the team's visual signature. Legibility is ensured by applied hour-markers and black nickel-finished hands, offering a subtle, modern contrast. At the heart of this timepiece beats the HUB44 caliber, a reliable automatic chronograph movement visible through the transparent caseback, revealing the openworked oscillating weight. The watch is mounted on its original black striated rubber strap, closed by a black PVD steel folding clasp.

The price positioning of this model takes into account the condition of the bracelet, offering an attractive entry point into the world of high-end sports watchmaking. This is a watch with character, ideal for a collector looking to combine the history of the America's Cup with the robustness of an everyday chronograph.
