HBS Factory Replica Hublot Spirit Big Bang Black Carbon Watch Review
Top-quality replica Hublot watches have consistently been bestsellers, with models like the Big Bang, Classic Fusion, King Power, and Unico being particularly popular in the market. Many buyers are on the lookout for the finest replicas of these models, and several watch factories are producing high-quality Hublot Big Bang replica wacthes. One notable manufacturer is V6, while JB offers some quality Hublot Tourbillon models. For the Classic Fusion, WWF and TWF are the two primary factories creating these replicas. Regarding the Hublot Unico, ZF has established itself as the leading producer of replicas, having begun its manufacturing of Hublot replicas in early 2022. Currently, ZF focuses solely on Hublot Unico replicas, which boast excellent quality. I hope that ZF will expand its offerings to include other replica Hublot Big Bang watches that were previously only produced by the V6 factory.
The Spirit Big Bang is crafted from black forged carbon and comes with a black rubber strap, giving it a unique and striking all-black appearance reminiscent of a black King Kong. This Hublot is produced by a new factory called HBS, which I haven’t encountered before, and I haven’t previously introduced any watches from them. Upon receiving it from my supplier, I found the quality of the watch to be just acceptable. It is very lightweight and comfortable to wear. Currently, no other factories produce this Spirit Bang model.
The case of this watch is not the standard Big Bang shape; instead, it features a tonneau design similar to that of Richard Mille’s cases. In addition to its advanced forged carbon material, the case has an excellent curved design that fits my hand perfectly. The multi-layer structure of the case incorporates various materials, showcasing Hublot’s “fusion” design philosophy. The carbon is utilized on both the front and back of the case, and its texture is distinctly different from the other black material used on the sides.
The dial features a skeleton design with a three-dimensional effect, showcasing a black surface that combines superior craftsmanship with advanced watch-making techniques. It includes three functional subdials: the one at 9 o’clock indicates small seconds, the largest one at 3 o’clock displays a 30-minute chronograph, and the subdial at 6 o’clock serves as a 12-hour chronograph counter. The small-second subdial is the least noticeable of the three. At the center of the dial, there is a circular opening for the date wheel, with a large window at 4:30 displaying the current date in white. While I appreciate the case and its black color, the dial does not suit my taste; I find it somewhat unattractive. It would benefit from the addition of some vibrant colors on the skeleton dial to improve readability.
The movement visible through the crystal back is a clone of the HUB4700, but it’s not an exact replica. It is actually based on an Asian chronograph movement, and the decoration done by the HBS factory leaves much to be desired. It appears that HBS has merely hollowed out the auto rotor and printed “HUB4700” along with the Hublot logo on the movement plate, resulting in subpar decoration. Since HBS does not produce top-quality replica watches, I doubt they will enhance this movement in the future.
