I will be frank with you Ed...
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, Classic Thin Skeleton) but this one gave me the opposite reaction. 
Thanks for the report!

Hublot King Power Oceanographic 4000
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...
No manicures required afterwards
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...
I was worried about that too
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

The size of the Oceanographic
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
Hublot Oceanographic blue denim 4000
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
Sure! However, find a wrîst, where THIS watch will fit...?! With 48mm this is not that easy... ;-)
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...
Very interested in the Hublot All Blue Denim Carbon 4000
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...
Thank you for the report!
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...
Another vote for the carbon
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 ...
Will titanium hold up better than carbon underwater
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
should be
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
The titanium version
Hi sschew, I read your post on your Hublot titanium Oceanographic. Congrats, your custom strap looks good. Regards, Ed
Since you ask, I have to say titanium.
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.
Standard carbon pattern
Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Definitely the AP forged carbon has a unique pattern. Regards, ED-209
Lets get this down to 44mm Hublot...
And I think a lot of people will find this a hit.
Call me biased...
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 ...
Titanium...
As its a real dive/tool watch look... but I am a little bias.. Cheers Andrew ...
Great shot 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!!!
The black superluminova never really works...
but I agree it is one AMAZING looking watch! There is always the cell phone for the time. Cheers Andrew
Or the position of the Sun? Maybe not in the UK
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
Hublot Oceanographic Blue Denim 4000
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
