The Hublot is simply a stunning time piece.
The design incorporates a polished and brushed black ceramic case that measures 44.5mm. The whole thing is held together with H-shaped titanium screws, Kevlar lateral inserts, double AR coated sapphire crystals and a titanium back plate.
The movement is automatic and incorporates 252 parts, a rhodium plated sandblasted mainplate, polished bevelled satin brushed bridges and a Tungsten oscillating weight.
The strap and buttons are black rubber, which form part of a design that has a water resistance to 100m.
You get all of this for £4,370 ($8,085)
