Hublot Spirit of Big Bang Impact Sapphire - Limited Edition - 42 MM - White Lined Rubber Strap - Rhodium-Plated And Osmium Dial - 647.JX.0106.RW.IMP26

Hublot has exclusively introduced crystallized osmium – considered the rarest metal on Earth – into watchmaking. Denser than platinum, harder and heavier, it features a naturally bluish radiance that shines like no other metal. Through a highly sophisticated crystallization process developed with Swiss scientists in Valais, osmium transforms into stable crystal form, unlocking its cosmic sparkle. In a 30-piece limited edition, rhodium-plated appliques alternate with osmium shards on the dial.

In search of the perfect fusion between movement and case, Hublot engineers and chemists have researched and developed a transparent material which reveals the heart of the watch, all while being robust enough to effectively protect the mechanism. That’s how the Manufacture has become the expert of synthetic sapphire, a material from which it derives its aesthetic qualities that are unique within watchmaking – transforming each watch into a work of art.
