Hello Friends,

yesterday i´ve got the chance to take some photos from the brand new Hublot Big Bang Bavaria, a watch out of a cooperation with the famous german leather manufacture Meindl.

The watch was presented during the famous Münchner Wiesn.

It is the first Hublot watch with a case made out of bronze.

Here some more pictures:

A second dark brown and smaller leather strap is part of the bundle but i did not take photos...! :-(

Here ist the watch with my own dark brown Schedoni-strap

And the comparison of the Bronze case with the Magic Gold of my Meca 10

Some more pics how the watch is presented. Typical bavarian style...

Cheers!

Sascha

Key Points from the Discussion

A user asks if the bronze case will develop a patina like Panerai Bronzo models or if it's stabilized/coated, expressing a preference for raw bronze that patinates over time.
Sascha clarifies that the bronze alloy, containing copper, is not entirely stable in color and will change slightly between pink and yellow, noting the press text describes it as 'tinned Bronze'.
Several users express reservations about the distinctive Meindl leather strap, finding it 'a bit OTT' or stating they would 'never ever' wear it.
Sascha explains that the Meindl strap is styled after traditional Bavarian leather trousers, providing cultural context for its design.

...for their typical bavarian leather trousers. So also the Meindl strap is made in this style. Cheers, Sascha

So thanks for taking such great pics as always Sascha. The watch intreagues me and I want to see how it is on my wrist, but I think the Bavarian strap would stay in the box! I didnt read anywhere, did they say will it form a further patina like the Panerai Bronzo, or is it stabilized or coated like some of the other bronze ones out there? Cheers Andrew
