Hublot has done it again with the release of the Big Bang Sang Bleu III, the third generation of its tattoo-inspired timepieces. A bold new evolution, this watch is a testament to artistry meeting innovation.
With a case diameter of 42mm, the watch features a barrel-shaped, multi-faceted design that enhances its 3D visual appeal. The six iconic H-shaped screws made of titanium cross the bezel, while the innovative materials and color combinations in its sandwich-style case structure add to its allure.
From the case to the bezel, geometric tattoo patterns overlap, showcasing the extraordinary charm of tattoo artistry. Through its sapphire dial, one can admire the mechanical beauty of the HUB4700 automatic skeleton chronograph movement. Geometric hands, another signature element of Hublot’s collaboration with Sang Bleu tattoo studio, enhance its uniqueness.
The design is meticulously crafted to display highly symmetrical and three-dimensional geometric patterns, using polished, satin, engraved, chiseled, chamfered, and faceted materials to bring out a relief effect and depth. Hexagons, diamonds, and triangles intertwine, creating new shapes and dimensions through the interplay of various lines.
Despite its bold design and sizable presence, the watch boasts an ergonomic fit suitable for men and women of all wrist sizes, with or without the bezel. I consider this third-generation tattoo watch the most successful evolution in the series, with its etched sapphire crystal truly making an impression. And at 42mm, it comfortably suits smaller wrists too. Honestly, it doesn’t lose to any other luxury timekeeper out there. Feel free to dive into this masterpiece with me!
