Several luxury watch brands offer collections of smartwatches alongside their mechanical and analogue timepieces, and Hublot is undoubtedly one of the most well-known of them all. Hublot launched its first connected watch in 2018 and has now unveiled its latest model in the form of the Big Bang e Gen3 watch, which is available in black or white ceramic.
The new Hublot Big Bang e Gen3 follows the familiar Big Bang silhouette but reimagined in digital form. The watch comes in a microblasted and polished black or white ceramic case measuring 44mm in diameter (14mm thick), with the familiar H-shaped titanium screws and a black-plated titanium crown with rubber insert.
Big Bang e Gen3 is equipped with the Qualcomm® Snapdragon WearTM 4100+ processor, which is compatible with both Google Android and Apple iOS operating systems. Its impressive sensors and features include a Heart Rate Monitor (HRM), Accelerometer, Gyroscope, Low Latency Off Body (LLOB), Ambient Light Sensor (ALS), Microphone, Speaker, DC Motor (Vibration), and more. Additionally, it also comes with GPS, Bluetooth Wi-Fi, and NFC payment connectivity.
If you love customization, you’ll be happy to know that the Hublot Big Bang e Gen3 is available with 11 different digital dials, ranging from sporty chronograph dials to elegant skeleton dials and even artistic renderings. What’s more, the improved high-resolution screen (454 x 454 pixels, 327 dpi resolution) also offers a wealth of color options. The watch comes with a black or white rubber strap, but the Big Bang e Gen3’s patented interchangeable “One Click” strap system makes it easy to change to match the dial color.
Hublot’s Big Bang e Gen3 offers fans of the famous watch model the added benefit of smartwatch practicality. The design has its roots in mechanical watches, but is repackaged into a modern digital model with all the features expected of a modern connected watch. Add in the sleek ceramic construction and sporty rubber strap, and this will no doubt be an appealing combination for many modern watch buyers. The connected watches Hublot Big Bang e Gen3 Black Magic (ref. 450.CI.1100.RX) and White Ceramic (ref. 450.HX.1100.RX) are priced at USD 5,400 each and are available to purchase immediately on Hublot’s e-commerce platform.
