Hublot Big Bang MECA-10 Titanium

DESCRIPTION

The Hublot Big Bang MECA-10 Titanium 444.NX.1170.RX has an Manual Winding movement with with 10 days of power reserve, Skeleton dial, Rubber strap and Titanium case material.

Titanium is extensively used by Hublot, specifically for its lightness. It displays the best relationship between resistance and weight of any material, which makes it an extremely popular material especially within aeronautics. It also stands out with its resistance to corrosion and its inertia in contact with the skin. Hublot only uses high quality, grade 5 titanium, the strongest there is. Once polished, this material retains a slightly bluish metallic sheen.

Delivered by two mainspring barrels, the energy level of the movement can be read by means of a digital display that shows the power reserve as the number of days of autonomy remaining. These indications are driven by a “crémaillère” rack system rarely seen in mechanical watches, consisting of a linear gear engaging a circular gear, moving in a straight line. A closer look at this system reveals a mechanism that is more subtle than it appears, composed of two superimposed disks rotating in opposite directions and connected by a spiral spring that coils in their centre like the barrel spring. This results in a very surprising differential display that is nevertheless intuitive to read. .
