Based on the unique, iconic design of Hublot’s famous one million dollar Black Caviar, and directly inspired by the black ceramic Big Bang Black Caviar timepiece, which has been one of the brand’s bestsellers since 2011, these two watches, sport a sleek, graphic look with sharp angles and reliefs designed, cut, beveled and polished like their big sister’s black baguette diamonds. The ocean blue of the Big Bang Caviar “Lady 305” timepiece evokes the sand, sun and sea of South Florida. The 41 mm-diameter watch features a bezel set with 36 topazes, and it’s solid case-back is engraved with a view of Miami’s South Beach with the famous “305” area code. The strap of blue alligator sewn onto black rubber completes the watch, providing exceptional comfort, flexibility and resistance.
