The Hublot Big Bang Tourbillon Power Reserve 5 Days Sapphire Watch Reviews

Image
At Baselworld 2018, there were many highlights, including aspects, among others, the rise of ladies' watches, the Rainbow Daytona, and stronger pieces and easier to use than ever before. But one of the biggest surprises for me was my strange affinity for Hublot's Big Bang Tourbillon 5 Days Sapphire. Although this watch is one of the most ridiculous pieces of our time (I mean, who really needs this watch?), I could not help but respect it, and that's the reason. Let's put it aside: Hublot is not for everyone. In fact, Hublot is not intended for many people (especially me, in general), but we must give credit to the brand to always exceed the limits, whether for aesthetic or mechanical reasons. or materials.

Hands-On with the Hublot Big Bang Unico Blue Sapphire Watch

Image
The Unico Blue Sapphire is, in my opinion, the most attractive sapphire watch on the market. The case With a round case of 45 mm in diameter, it is much less insane than some of the Richard Mille or Bell & Ross watches, and considering that it is made of polished blue sapphire, which nobody else is currently using, makes it even more exclusive. The blue is vibrant and translucent but less transparent than the transparent sapphire, which results in a more elegant aesthetic, and you do not have to worry about seeing the hair on the arm through the watch, than the sapphire crystal cases tend to have a problem with. Hublot outsourced the production of the watch case, as most watch companies do with any type of sapphire crystal manufacturing. The middle case, the bezel and the back are made of synthetic blue sapphire crystal (which has a value of 9 on the Mohs hardness scale) which is then polished. Only a few pieces of the watch case are made of titanium: the H-shaped titanium...

The Rolex Oyster Perpetual Watch Now With White And Black Dials

Regular readers will know by now that I'm a total sucker for a simple watch done well. So it will come as no surprise that I love the latest crop of Oyster Perpetuals from Rolex. For 2018, Rolex has taken its full range of OPs and added two new dial options to the mix: a slightly warm and glossy white and a subtle sunburst black. Both are really successful, and make one of Rolex's least-talked-about but most outstanding watch collections even more appealing from top to bottom. The Oyster Perpetual is Rolex's most basic watch and for many it's an entry point into the storied brand. The Oyster Perpetual comes in five different sizes – 26mm, 31mm, 34mm, 36mm, and 39mm – and each size has its own set of dials from which you can choose. In all cases, the watches have just three hands – hours, minutes, and center seconds – Twinlock screw-down crowns, Oyster bracelets with Oysterclasp fasteners, and Chromalight for lume. That is to say, they're real Rolex watches through a...
