Tongue and buckle in titanium or black DVD titanium

According to some additional information, another test seems to suggest that the watch is water resistant to 5000 meters. Which is it? Doesn't matter to be honest - you'd be dead long before reaching either of those depths.The watch contains an Hublot caliber HUB1404 automatic with the time and date. Legibility is ensured by the super large hands and hour markers. Both models have lots of lume, while the titanium model is clearly going to be the one you want to use if you are actually diving. Hublot's signature stealth look is fun, but makes for a poor design when trying to read a watch in the murky depths.Still, the carbon fiber model speaks to me a lot more. I am actually not a big fan of all those black on black watches. Mr. Biver calls the look "visible invisibility." The titanium and green model looks a bit like a toy to me. I mean, it is toy. Maybe a serious toy, but still a toy. This is another watch that I call "Hollywood movie prop." Pick your fav sci-fi or action movie and I bet this watch will look appropriate on some character. The carbon fiber one is a bit more mysterious and sinister. It also has the benefit of being the only carbon fiber cases dive timepiece that I know of - and that is pretty cool. I am pretty hot on the idea of carbon fiber cases. I was very skeptical about them at first, but brands like Hublot have convinced me that they are worthy. In addition to being light and having a smooth feel to them, they are really tough and naturally absorb shock.The larger crown at 2 o'clock is for the time, while the lower one is used for the inner rotating bezel. Is the super-sized crown cap necessary? Eh, not really, but it is a fun design feature. My favorite feature of the watch are the quick release straps. See that little triangles on the lugs? Push them in and the strap releases easily. A very clever feature and I think all Hublot timepieces should have them in the future. Hublot will offer the Oceanographic 4000 with two straps. One in rubber for and one that is a mix of rubber and nylon. The rubber one is for "active duty," while the rubber and nylon one is for more casual wear purposes. Further, while the rubber and nylon one has a more traditional fold over style clasp, the all rubber strap uses an ardillion tongue buckle style strap that is more secure and useful when wearing gloves.So what is left? Hublot created a limited edition diver that should be more or less tough as nails - especially if those nails come in the form of high water pressure. The more useful of the two piece is the titanium one, but the more cool looking of the two is the carbon fiber one. How much will these big guys cost? $19,900 in titanium and $25,900 in carbon fiber. Look for the retail release close to the end of the year.Tech specs from Hublot:Reference 731.NX.1190.RX, 731.QX.1140.RXSeries Limited to 1000 pieces for the titanium versionNumbered 01/1000 to 1000/1000Limited to 500 pieces for the All Black version in black carbon fiberNumbered 01/500 to 500/500Case: “King Power” — 48 mm diameterMicorblasted satin-finished titanium or matte carbon fiberBezel Microblasted satin-finished titanium or matte carbon fiber6 black PVD H-shaped titanium screwsCrystal: Sapphire with anti-reflective treatmentLug: bezel Black composite resinLateral inserts Black composite resinCase back: microblasted satin-finished titanium, or microblasted satin-finished titanium with black PVDCrown: Titanium with black rubber insert or black PVD titanium with black rubber insertScrews: Black PVD titaniumWater resistance: Certified to 400 ATM or 4,000 metersTested to 5,000 meters according to the NIHS standardsDial: Matte blackSatin-finished appliques with green or black SuperLuminovaHands Microblasted satin-finished with green or black SuperLuminovaMovement: Mechanical with automatic winding HUB1401No. of components: 180Jewels: 23Bridges: Satin-finished, beveled & polishedScrews: Black PVDBarrel: With reinforced springEscapement: Glucydur hairspringPower Reserve: Approximately 42 hoursStraps: Available with two straps — black rubber and rubber and nylonClosing system
