BBF Edition — Quick-Release Fluororubber Strap
The BBF execution of the Spirit of Big Bang 642.NX.0170.RX.1704 represents a significant technical milestone in tonneau-case replicas. Historically, barrel-shaped Hublot clones suffered from incorrect lug geometry and poorly integrated skeleton dials, but BBF has rectified these dimensional inaccuracies to match genuine factory tolerances. The complex sandwich case construction utilizes precisely machined titanium and resin components secured by the signature H-shaped screws.
At the core of this reference is the Clone HUB 4700 automatic movement, which successfully replicates the high-frequency skeletonized chronograph module of the original. Unlike older modified 7750 base calibers that merely decorated the top plate, this movement features functional date wheel skeletonization and correct sub-dial spacing. As per standard replica mechanical profiles, it delivers a power reserve of approximately 36 hours.
The 42mm titanium case is meticulously set with synthetic pavé stones that closely approximate the dispersion of factory diamonds, though lacking the ultimate refractive index of VVS natural stones. The sapphire dial, featuring deep green text annotations on select variants, provides an unobstructed view of the movement gear train, protected by a sapphire crystal with dual anti-reflective treatment. The proprietary one-button quick-release system on the lugs operates with satisfying tactile feedback, allowing seamless transition to the customized fluororubber strap.
