Hublot Big Bang: How to Spot a Fake ⛔️🕵️♂️

The fusion of classic movements, innovative tech, and bold design made Hublot a global watchmaking icon. A standout feature is the rubber strap—a comfort-first idea by founder Carlo Crocco, who paired it with premium gold cases. This strap is still one of the top signs of authenticity for Hublot watches.
The Hublot Big Bang was the brand’s first major innovation—combining glass and ceramic like no one had before. These watches quickly became bestsellers, earning a spot among the most prestigious and expensive timepieces πβοΈ.
But with fame comes fakes. And sometimes they’re really good.
β¨ Signs of a Genuine Hublot Big Bang
β Hublot never uses quartz movements — only mechanical. Quartz = fake.
β Unique design — a bold mix of luxury and sport, like a gold case with a casual strap.
β H-shaped screws on the bezel and dial — common on men’s models. Originals never have blue screws (fakes often do).
β Multiple complications — dual time, moon phases, power reserve, alarms — and all must work (no dummy displays!).
β Signature case shapes: “porthole”, “cushion”, or “skeleton”.
π Key Giveaways of a Fake:
Materials: Real ones use solid gold, ceramic, carbon, titanium, or steel. Gold-plated = fake.
Movement: The in-house Unico mechanism with a visible sapphire back, made of 330 tiny parts.
Gem settings: Only real diamonds or precious metals. Fakes use rhinestones, glass, glue (!).
Engravings: Sharp, flawless, and always well-placed.
Strap: Made from high-quality rubber, titanium, ceramic, or alligator leather, with a deep Hublot logo. Flat or laser-etched? Fake.
π Packaging Tells a Story Too
Saffiano-style box, lined with moiré fabric.
Inside: a pillow-shaped holder, multilingual manual, smart warranty card, and for limited editions — certificates.
π‘οΈ SmartCard Technology
In 2009, Hublot teamed up with WiSeKey to create a SmartCard with a unique authenticity code. No card = not genuine!
β Final Word
To stay safe, buy only from trusted retailers or official dealers. Fake makers are getting good — but with this guide, you’re now one step ahead ππΌ.
