Hublot Spirit of Big Bang Titanium Watch Review - $25,000

- Here is a review of Hublot Spirit of Big Bang Titanium. It's by far the most expensive watch I've reviewed on the channel so far and it's incredible. Sure, this isn't a watch for everyone and it's not the best value for money proposition out there (it just tells the time). But you can't deny that it's a special, crazy, over-the-top, ridiculous timepiece.
I would compare this watch to a Lamborghini. It's not very practical. It's loud. It's unconventional. And it's outrageously expensive -$25,000 USD for a brand new Hublot Spirit of Big Bang Titanium is a lot of money. For the money you can get a couple of Rolex Submariners, or a couple GMT Masters, or a Day-Date Presidential, or 5 Omega Speedmasters and the list goes on.
But this watch is very special. I am very happy and proud to share this review with you.
Enjoy the video, Oleg.

They are going for +10k now.
I think anyone should consider this one for this range of price.
Thank you for the video! This watch is so under represented online, and you've done a wonderful job, even the thumbnail is fantastic. Appreciate your work!
👏👏👏
Beautiful piece.
Thanks for reviewing it.
I have been waiting for this review! I normally can't stand Hublot but this one is really cool...but I can't believe it doesn't have hacking. Thank you for another great video Oleg :)
Thanks Jeffrey! It's so weird not to have hacking feature on a $25,000 watch, but it still is a cool timepiece. All the best, Oleg.
I LOVE the Spirit of Big Bang, any model. I am thinking of it for my birthday present to myself. You just have to choose a watch that suits your lifestyle, and this looks amazing in a very modern suit.
People say they are the poor man's RM, but I actually love this design more that the RM
What a poor man who'd buy a $25k watch 😂
But if you compare it to RMs lol
I'm agree !
The RMs are fugly.
Beauty, gorgeous looking watch.
great video thank you
Great review. By the way you have mentioned that your choice would be different for that kind of money. What watch you would by then ?
quality channel here. have my word for it, this channel will explode to 100K plus sub in the future
Thank you Ben! Appreciate your support! All the best, Oleg.
Happy watching this video as I just had one for my birthday today 😉
I love the watch. But i am concern over the wear-and-tear of the 5Hz movement. I read that Rolex Daytona model used to use similar movement, but have since tuned it to 4Hz to lengthen the servicing. And given I have spent a ton on this watch, I wun want service it more frequent but once every 5 years or longer if better. I would like to hear about your assessment on the durability of the movement. Thanks!
Which camera you are using ?
I want to buy a cheap camera tell me which is best for shooting watches video?
That is one of the first times I've seen a wholly visible date wheel where it was both clearly legible (because of the red window around the real date) and seemed like it was actually called for (the cutout numbers look so cool)
It truly does look spectacular. In person it looks even better. I love seeing the date change and the date wheel turning. All the best, Oleg.
Oleg, im use to wearing a Super Avenger and i like the weight... How does the weight compare??
I was not a fan of this watch until I tried it on over the weekend. There is a big difference between seeing it on video and in person. It was utterly beautiful. It was substantial, but not over the top. I like the fact that know one would know what I was wearing. Between the beautiful art, the movement and the presence makes me want this watch. I will be looking for a used one in the near future. Great review.
Overpriced shit
Hi so I have had my SBBT for 6 months now so feel ready to comment
First it is really light you do not notice it on your wrist at all. It is incredible beautiful. I find myself looking at the mechanism and being amazed at the detail
Yes it is expensive but I also know that probable there is not another person in a 300k distance with the same watch and most of the people I meet will never see another. As much as I love a Daytona you cannot say that about one of those (by the way I will be adding a Daytona to my collection very soon)
Thanks for the video and as a side comment my favourite watch is still my IWC Portuguese Yacht Club Ocean Racer,
Thank you my friend. You're absolutely right, this watch is unique and rare. Most people don't even know what it is. At the same time you can tell that it's a quality timepiece. Excited for you to add a Deytona to your collection. All the best, Oleg.
I appreciate the craftsmanship put in this watch, i must respect that. I would never buy it myself. The Oris Aquis would be my choice. Maybe not that expensive, but i love the design.
The Oris Aquis is a very nice watch. I don't have much experience with Oris watches but would definitely like to feature some of their timepieces on the channel. All the best, Oleg.
It is beautiful... Not the normal “FOOTBALLERS” Hublot watches. Out of the curve! I will get one of those in blue...
Not sure if you'll see this as it's an older video, but can you confirm if this was the 42mm or 45mm version please? I'm in the market for this watch and my wrist is the same size as yours, but it still looked huge on you.
I never thought about a Hublot until now.
I absolutely love the design
Just a copy of Richard Mille🤷🏻♂️ but I love it because I know I can't afford and RM but maybe is a yes to this thing.
Me too 😉
@@Andino. the tonneau case shape was used in watches decades before either names even existed. Granted, RM popularized the silhouette in the early 2000s. However, Hublot only starting using 13-14 years after that.
If that was copying RM, then saying that RM, copied Hublot’s rubber strap concept for luxury watches, also becomes a valid argument.
I also fail to see the point of comparing $20K watches to +$100K watches. RM is so unique in its construction and design that it can’t really be compared to anything else.
You're right. Aside from shape, they aren't anything alike. Everything from materials, to movement, to history, to bezel is different.
That's lovely! You're a lucky chap having it for a week- I'd like to see a review of a Hublot homage as this beauty is way out of reach for the majority of us & it'd be interesting to hear your thoughts. Excellent review, thank you 👍👍
edit...yes,I'd buy one if I had the money 😉
Thank you, my friend. I'm incredibly lucky to have friends who trust me with their super expensive watches. It was a lot of fun wearing it and doing the review. All the best, Oleg.
P.S. I'll see what I can find in terms of homages for this watch.
24Hours At A Time Excellent, I look forward to it 👍👍
Looks like richard mille
Tonneau shape is used and abused by almost any brand you can imagine. But next to each other they are absolutely different watches.
An individual's Taste , Well this is Mine Thank's , 💥HuBlot Bravo 💥
that 150k look for only 25k. it's like champagne taste with beer money
LOL... It's a bargain
I love the way you said that
Stop comparison between Richard Mille and Hublot. It’s like Rolex and Omega
@@uslolgunter Lol Hublot's design is copied from RM; hence, the comparison makes very sense like comparing a fake watch vs a real watch. Rolex and Omega are in another situation, since they are the first underwater watch and the first watch worn on the moon in the whole planet world respectively!
J Don we don’t care about that. Are you the next one going to the moon ??? When you purchase a watch, are you thinking about going to the moon ? Give up man. You are a looser
Hublot is the art of fusion. Modern and trendy watches linked to the present.
Happy to see watch from this price range, love Hublot and their new pices from beselworld this year
Used these are a bit of a steal imo. A reasonably sized RM with Zenith watchmaking inside, something I'd happily wear even though I'm not a footballer lol.
Looking at it again and again it really goes out of the box! I had the opportunity to use a RM 27-01 Turb and really, believe me: this look nicer to my taste. The RM is too “noisy” and “over” not too mention its size to my wrist. Price and money apart I would take this over that one. Again, my personal opinion as a collector.
Love this response, i was dropping my classic fusion chrono off to get serviced today at the 5th ave store and tried one on. Deifently going to purchase this after the taxes are paid. Its siiiick
is a self winding operating?
I can't ignore the case sides - they look like plastic, making the high polished areas look like chrome plated plastic. I really like the skeletonized date wheel though.
How did you get this watch to review? Do you work at a watch shop?
It does look better in person. But yeah, these "plastic" parts aren't everyone's cup of tea.
I borrowed the watch from one of my good friends. All the best, Oleg.
The Hublot Spirit of Big Bang is a beautiful watch but for 25,000 I want my watch case and bracelet to be in gold. This Hublot Tonneau shape remind me of Frank Muller and Richard Mille watches.
It's funny to think that a $25K watch is the affordable alternative to Richard Mille. All the best, Oleg.
I’m not agree with what ou said. HUBLOT is an amazing brand , craftsmanship. And special skeleton dial. Sapphire crystal on glasses and on the case back. Hublot is a high end brand. Rolex is a massive production made by a machine. Rolex is cheap brand as well. Everyone has a Rolex but mostly entry level such as $4000 to $10000
I agree that Hublot makes amazing watches. But for $25,000 this watch wouldn't my first choice. I can definitely see why it would be your choice. It's a great watch. All the best, Oleg.
Yes most watches including Hublot depreciate in value so the higher you spend the more you might loose BUT It depends on the brand. Certain brands such as Rolex , Patek Phillipe and some Richard Mille actually appreciate in value and are investment pieces so doesn't apply to all watches. Lets be honest no one necessarily buys luxury watches to tell time/ get accurate timing it's a lot more than that to watch enthusiasts. Nice video, enjoyed watching. A nice design but prefer the tourbillion version in this model. Would I wear it probably , for 25000 , a big NO as I think maybe the tourbillion version or a lot of other luxury watches I might see worth that price point.
Very nice timepiece! Is this the 42mm or 45mm model?
I’m after the Blue Ceramic 42mm model 🙌
This is the 45mm model. Nice choice! Excited for you to get one:)
You pull that off very well! No way I can pull off the 45mm model on my 6.5” (16.5cm) wrists. The 42mm should work very well for me!
Nice review of this outrageous watch! Can you share what the owner of the watch does for a living, and even more so, as a young guy emigrated from the former USSR to the western world I am curious to know what do you do for a living. Thanks!
Thank you! My friend who lend me the watch owns a business. What to do for a living is hard question to answer. See what you're good at and what you enjoy doing. All the best, Oleg.
Sorry, it’s not about what’s relative or how much u earn. It’s attuned to individual taste , this watch is near perfection in proportion and absolutely beautiful. I have been buying watches for almost 20 years now and I buy watches for a different reason - it’s collectibility, attention to detail, the make, aesthetics and something that I can transcend as a family heirloom in the long future . The curved sapphire on this watch is incredible beautiful and the proportion of the tonneau matches my wrist perfectly. Furthermore, it has the best chrono movement in-house or not. I am not one of those modern collectors that buy watches for investment or what’s popular and who’s wearing what. These are very narrow minded way of China mindset which has ruined the market ( especially rolexes ) and thinking that buying a watch as an investment is outright preposterous!. U want to invest, go invest in a property or if you’re skilled enough, stocks and bonds.
Agreed
Absolutely agreed
Hublot makes "interesting" watches. I'm not a fan, personally, but thanks for the look and review. At around that price I think I'd rather have a Piaget Altiplano in white gold.
Thanks Justin! Just looked up Piaget Altiplano, that's a cool looking watch. Great choice! All the best, Oleg.
I'm thinking of this or a submariner two tone.
Not a fan of chronograph, so I'm saving for a red gold Meca-10 version.
Not too sure if its the same for all hublots, but ive tested a aerofusion vandutch, and the pushers on the side feel terrible, compared to say, a daytona. The hublot movement compares to an eta or cheap swiss movement.
The one in this is a in-house produced HUB4700 based on an El Primero 3600. The Big Bang Unicos use their own in-house developed movement.
I think anything before JCB took over that's automatic was probably ETA and he said that before he took over, Hublot did 97% Quartz.
it's obviously a big watch, and a Pretty for my taste. but to meassure it correctly, you Need set the scale from left to Right exactly - not in diagonal style, bcs then of Course ist failed messured, even not much, but it is
Everyone hates on hublot,
because of rumors from traditionalistic journalists, the craftsmanship is amazing, and the design is on par with other brands. The media is prejudice, other brands don’t get the same stick for similar designs.
I remember first Pure Barrel shaped watch should be IWC da Vinci or Cartier Santos
Then Richard Mile made it famous.
But I don’t understand why this hublot looks identical
Я на своих ремешок на резиновый поменял, но у меня другие
It's not for me but it's better than a Richard Mille. If I wanted a watch with an El Primero movement I would get an El Primero.
Nice watch, but holy crap, it's a beast on the wrist. Just way oversized imo.
For 25 K, i would chose for a Patek Nautilus vintage.
Good choice Jari!
a lange and sohne... Lang 1, blue dial.
...and if you would've searched "Patek Nautilus vintage" you'd be in the right spot watching the right video
May I please ask how often you service it? Thank you.
Twice a day. Cheers.
If I had 25k to spend on a watch I’d be happy to buy this, but if I had only 25k to spend on 1 watch that I would have forever I would go for a safe option Royal Oak, IWC or a Rolex
if they cannot even align the directions of those screws on bezel, just do not use them for decoration.
El primers movement as well.
It's pretty cool and different
I'm often very fascinated by so expensive watches, but this time not. The design seems overdone in my opinion. Technically there is nothing to say.
Franco, I can see your point. This design is not for everyone. All the best, Oleg.
when you say technically nothing to say, you're not very knowledgeable about el primero movements are you? it's ok! we all learn about highly technical aspects slowly, we all have learning to do.
sect0rial sect0rial surely if it’s using an el primero movement (or based on) they’re not bringing anything new to the table from a mechanical point of view making this watch not too exciting? It would be more respectable to develop a movement from scratch, but that’s just my opinion and everyone sees value in different aspects of any watch!
I accutally don't hate these watches even if I dislike Hublot. It's like a less toyish rm
That's the alternative if you can't buy a Richard Mille 😂😂, btw i love that watch.
Again... Thanks for the riview oleg you're the best (and and also bond of course 😂)👍👍
Thank you Muhammad. Yeah, this is "poor man's" Richard Mille. All the best, Oleg.
Dear Muhammad: to be fairly honest - looking at both in the wrist - the Hublot looks even better than most pf the RMs I have been able to use it! (Forget pricing pls).. The video / photos are not fair with this Hublot... Absolutely out of the box and gorgeous although I am not a big fan of the brand.
Richard millie alternative? Wheres the wrist shot?
It does look like a lot of Richard Mille watches but this one is a fraction of the price. So it's a bargain! There is a wrist shot at the end of the video. All the best, Oleg.
RM is getting exclusive with their watches.
For 25k I would buy the JLC Reverso In yellow gold
Did you buy it?
I wish I could I afford it lol It belongs to a friend of mine:)
If i had the 25,000 dlls, i'll buy the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak, maybe the two tone for that price. But for now i can afford the didun design, but it's too big for my 6" wrist hahaha
Great choice, my friend. Apparently someone said that you can buy a rubber strap for Didun Design watch and that should make it fit your wrist. All the best, Oleg.
Thanks for the advise!
Try the Bagelsport Nautilus, specially the blue color, ir really looks like a Patek Philipe. Is perfect on my 6 1/4 wrist.
Thanks for the recommendation @Ratitabaco, i've already seen that watch, but i thought that it will have the same "issue" with the bracelet. I think i'll definitely try it.
Exists in full sapphire cristal... 😆
Super Nice design
You can ask 100 people which watch they would buy for 25k, you’d have 100 different answers.
Right answer ans most important is « buy what you like »....
Anyone who says watches “ only tell time” have never seen the work that goes into it.
For all of you thinking you need to be a millionaire to own one, you don’t. You could easily buy one making 200k+ per year, just don’t go on a vacation that year
Your thumbnail tho
for me, it's FAR too large. Also, I don't know what it is but skeleton watches turn me off. I do however like the shape of the watch.
I have a fairly small wrist, and the RM's are way to large for me. however, I stumbled upon this watch when purchasing my current one and I gave it a test. It was surprisingly fitting, almost canceled my current pickup to give it a go, however i ended up not doing so.
I like this watch but the price... 😩
Richard Mille sells the exact same watch for 150 000$ so this is a bargain
This watch was only released in 2014, thus did you mean your friend bought it in 2015 not 2005?
I've had this for a year and selling this watch...the Titanium with factory set diamonds... £12.5k (pounds). Obviously can get it verified etc...currently in a safe with a grey trader trying to sell it for me.
Gets loads of attention...but im saving for a 2nd hand hulk.
How can you appreciate a time peice when all youcan see in it is for it "to just tell time". There is more to a watch than just telling the time.
Yes it's boring.
costs 16.000 on Chrono24
I hope you know that Hublot uses ETA movements which costs 200$ and they sell watches for 10.000$!
True , but this one has inhouse movement
@@syedmohdfasihnaqvi155 this one is zenith movement
This has a HUB4700 movement based heavily on a Zenith El Primero movement, co developed with Zenith.
@@seanlingham5254 Okay you won, I did not know that.
@@arkadiuszjandylewski152 I wasn't intending to win anything. Just stating the facts. It's in their watch specs. It's a HUB4700 that's a modified updated version from the sister company at LVMH, Zenith. Based on a Zenith El Primero 3600.
It's definitely not an unknown cheap movement from some random location.
It's looking like Richard mille wooow it look cost150k
You can get the exactly same look Hublot Spirit of Big Bang Titanium watch from China for under USD$300
Might as well do it lol it’s beautiful af
But then your just buying JUNK
All the RM comments are ignorant as fuck. Frank mueller was making exclusively tonneau shapes watches way back who copied Cartier.
Isn’t the castle titanium?
Yes it is. But this review is from a few months ago:)
big ego comment was funny
At first i thought that for 25K I could just about totally indulge my fetish for German watches, but then I remembered A Lange & Soehne. Bummer.
Good choice. You can definitely get a Lange & Sohne watch on a re-sell or a grey market for $25K.
All the best, Oleg.
or I could just pay off my Mortgage :-)
People don't buy it not because it's a $25K watch. It's because they have many other better watches to buy with $25K regarding quality and reputation! Moreover, its design is actually copied from RM. This is ridiculous for a $25K watch! 🤣🤣🤣
for £25.000 u can get 2 rolex and a omega
Very true!
nothing says luxury like two plastic bits on a case
LOL
This is absolute false. Rolex is waste of money. But Hublot spirit of Big Bang is a master timepiece!
Why is this watch so cheap? Hublot should have $ 50 k for this watch
What's the movement?
It's a zenith el primero movement that's been dressed up. For $,25.000 you can get better watches. Or two or three better watches.
I'd rather buy a nice watch at Wal Mart for $10.00 and use the rest of the $25,000.00 to put a down payment on a new sports car. With an expensive watch, you can impress your horological inclined circle of friends, with a sports car, you can pick up the ladies.
The $25000 are just for looking like a Mille
Bond and I both think a $25k donation to your local no-kill animal shelter would look a lot better on your wrist.
Very true, Austin. But that could be said about any watch we buy. All the best, Oleg.
This looks like an expensive steampunk cosplay prop. I am guessing that whoever buys these watches likely also had spinners on their car rims back in the day. With all that said, I do think this is a nice looking watch.
Very good analogy. It has a unique design that's for sure. All the best, Oleg.
This screws directions. Ah, just can't handle this in a watch with that value.
it hacks...
Gold gmt master 2...all day
Great choice!
So what is your annual wage Oleg? LoL
Very nice watch but skeletonize watch is not my thing. In the same price range I prefer the AP RO Offshore but that is just me.
Not enough lol
AP Royal Oak Offshore is a very nice choice. I would love one of these for myself as well.
Why pay this for something so cheap and exaggerated design? I’ve seen in person and it’s bad.
If you don’t want it I know a guy
Hublot is beautiful but too expensive for what you get. Must buy second hand.
No precious metals and a leather strap; hard to see how anyone would pay $25k for this. RM and Hublot reach to uber rich but I don't see it .....
If you like the looks of this watch go buy a replica because spending $300 for a titanium automatic replica is better than wasting $25k on a real one! You probably could get an ETA replica if you worry about the quality of the movement. Hublot's are simply crazy over priced. At the end of the day a watch is a watch and the only who cares is the person who wears it...no one else cares
hope you didnt pay for this,whats the usb cord for anyway.
Unfortunately, it's no my watch. On the USB cord you have all of your warranty info, certificate of authenticity and servicing records. All the best, Oleg.
😴 fest
I just bought the fake one for $30. It's just a watch that tells you the time
i dont like ur thumbnail just saying its a waste
It's a "waste" of money;)
so is any luxury watch but you dont title all your luxury watch videos with waste of money
