I have to agree...
Often this case shape is overlooked or gets criticism from Hublot fans... but I think this watch is just sublime. I have had it on my wrists a couple of times and it fits so well... but I just love that moon phase and the date wheel... classical yet modern.

Zenith Elite Calibre?
Looks to be a Zenith Elite Calibre inside, interesting... The chrono version of the SOBB used the El Primero too if I'm not mistaken. I like the dial execution, but the case is too clearly 'inspired' by Mille for me. (I'm not a RM fan either) Interesting ...
yes, its the "old" elite movement
adapted to Hublots needs. (Ps: Zenith introduced last year also a "new" elite movement with more power reserve) A very reliable and well made manufacture movement, although its from Zenith, as you pointed out. No coincidence though - both brands belong to...
Light and "smaller"
The finishing level of the case is impressive, the dial is easy to read, an affordable and valuable alternative to some overrated RMs
I was thinking the same thing!
For this style, a better watch to wear (more legible dial, cleaner looking) than many RMs First hublot I've liked.
Wow....!!!!
What a beautiful watch! Thats the watch i will take on during my next time visit at Hublot. Thank you! Kindest regards, Sascha
well yes, its a tonneau formfactor...
as Richard Mille as well. Probably even closer to RM... I guess you\'ll find similarities in every watch with another one. In my opinion Hublot stays true to its DNA with the Spirit of BB. I am really glad for this 42 mm one, because its a wearable size (...
You are true to say that a 42mm case size is more wearable and from this point of view it is a true success.
Yes, regarding the shape it is a tonneau one so we can find similarities with many brands. It was just a remark from me not one to hurt you of course ;-) Best wishes Alkiro
Dont worry! :-)
No harm at all done by your renark. The opposite: I did not think of Custos and find the comparison interesting. However, personally I do not like Custos especially. Don\'t ask me why, I cannot tell, somehow most of their faces do not fit my taste, altoug...
I also took part...
...with Markus at presentation of this wonderful watch this year in Basel. I shot another Picture with the Gold version. Sorry for fingerprints on it. It wears not so big like the Spirit of Big Bang... perfect, unfortunately not cheap. stere ...
