Big Bang King Power All Black is a chronograph by Hublot.

The series Big Bang King stands for the 48 mm super-large version of the 2004 published success model Big Bang.

The King Power, presented in January 2009, offers an even more powerful and sophisticated design. All its components have been redesigned: the case has been shaped with sharp angles and straight sides, and features raised end pieces and screws. On the case edge, the push pieces stand out more, with the decorative tubes inserted in the black composite resin. The bezel has acquired a new look thanks to the rubber moulding around the ceramic.

The dial is made of several layers and ten extra elements in addition to the powerful black index markers. The chronograph and foudroyante hands are completely new and made on two levels, with two different types of finish. The helicoid shape of the foudroyante gives it a special dynamic.

The watch is driven by the new chronograph rattrapante foudroyante movement, completely manufactured by Hublot.

The rubber strap features an embossed cut-out, and for the first time the clasp is also, like the case, made of ceramic.

The model is limited to 500 numbered pieces.
