Hublot

I first handled the Hublot King Power Oceanographic 4000 during an event in Las Vegas right before IGOTT2 last year. I'm a huge fan of carbon fiber and really like the visual impact of the carbon fiber patterns on just about everything: including cars, gu...  

Ed, Thanks for the report and video. I am a former critic of the re-engineered for the overkill in designs, "borrowed" cues and physical sizes. This is one watch that is logical to be over-engineered and big. That is why the DLC treatment is also my pref... 

Very perceptive MTF, I didn't want the charming Hublot rep breaking a nail while trying to use the dive time crown. Regards, ED-209

First of all, thanks a lot for the report! But sorry, no, the Oceanographic 4000.... I can't... I found it bulky, oversized with the feeling to have a big car powered by a small engine... I was very seduced by some watches of the 2012 collection (Ferrari,...  

HI foversta, thanks for sharing your thoughts. Great pic that you took of the watch. I don't dive so I couldn't pull off wearing a 48mm watch so this is a no go for me. But it's a cool concept and I love how strap attachment works. Regards, ED-209

No disrespect but i would love to see that Hublot all blue denim on a more masculine thicker tanned wrist. This arm does it no justice

From my point of view, 70% of all potential buyers the watch will not fit (for size reasons) I would love to see smaller diving watches from Hublot...

If anyone has one for sale at a competitive price then please contact me at [Email address suppressed for privacy] I am in the UK so i would prefer EU. International not a problem either. Has to be in great shape and with warranty and complete Thanks cliv... 

Beauty!!

One vote for carbon. I like carbon or carbon pattern whether it is really carbon or not. This model, as always, is either you love or hate, and I happen to love. I am not a diver and not keen about the diving watches, modern or vintage, but this one looks... 

Thanks Ken for checking out the report. I'm not a real diver either (well actually I did the PADI thing many year ago in college but never got back into it) so the size is too big for me to wear on a regular basis. But similar to you, I like carbon fiber ... 

Thank you ED for the review on the KPO4K. I vote for the titanium version and was was wondering if it would hold up better in actual underwater use than the carbon? BTW nice video. Best, AB

HI AB, I think as long as you rinse off the salt water after a dive you should be OK. Thanks for checking out this post on the Hublot. Regards, ED-209

Both are very nice but I'm biased-titanium for sure!!!

Hi sschew, I read your post on your Hublot titanium Oceanographic. Congrats, your custom strap looks good. Regards, Ed

Thanks for the kind words. Much appreciated!!!

I am not a big fan of the checkered pattern w/ Hublot's carbon. I understand that is common, but after owning AP's forged carbon w/ its random patterns, I find it the best in the industry. So titanium on this one, for me.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Definitely the AP forged carbon has a unique pattern. Regards, ED-209

And I think a lot of people will find this a hit.

on the spot!

But my vote is for the Ti ! I've had my Oceanographic 4000 for about three years and absolutely love it. Sure, it's big, it's bold and not for the faint hearted. When I purchased it, I wasn't sure how much wrist time it would get. As it turns out, I wear ...  

As its a real dive/tool watch look... but I am a little bias.. Cheers Andrew ...  

It seems you belong to the 30% of the crowd with wrists, that are big enough to actually wear the watch... ;-)

I have owned the Carbon Black Oceanographic 4000 and the legibility during the day was bad but in the dark you could not see the hands at all? It says its Black Superluminova. Really confusing and too stealth-like but amazing looking!!!

but I agree it is one AMAZING looking watch! There is always the cell phone for the time. Cheers Andrew

I am after the hublot 4000 all blue denim boutique edition but none in the EU at a competitive price at moment. One day one day

Its a very nice watch indeed! Cheers Andrew

Hi Andrew, Can you ask the chaps in the EU if they are selling. Just sold my 1000 oceanographic so i have some funds in the next few days. Thanks for your time and Regards Clive Joel
