The Hublot Spirit of Big Bang takes the Big Bang’s exposed screws, layered construction and openworked dial into a tonneau case that feels quite different on the wrist. In 42mm form, it keeps that architectural presence without demanding quite as much wrist as the larger versions—a useful distinction when the case’s length matters as much as its width.

For the chronograph, the attraction goes beyond the case: the HUB4700 is derived from Zenith’s El Primero, bringing a high-frequency movement into Hublot’s more extroverted setting. Titanium is a good starting point if you enjoy the contrast of brushed metal against the skeletonized dial; ceramic gives the same construction a different visual weight. Pay attention to how the rubber strap curves away from the case and where the clasp sits beneath your wrist: the fit is part of choosing this particular shape.

Case Size42mm

What owners love

The curved tonneau case and rubber strap make the 42mm Spirit more comfortable than its angular shape suggests. The way it wraps around the wrist is a big part of what owners enjoy about wearing it.
The open dial gives you plenty to look at beyond the hands, especially with the chronograph running. Owners who like the exposed mechanism tend to see that busy, layered view as the reason to choose the Spirit rather than a conventional chronograph.

Common Criticisms

Reading the time at a glance can take more effort than you'd expect: the hands compete with the exposed movement and chronograph registers. The skeleton dial that makes it interesting to look at is also its main everyday compromise.
