Today, Christian has a look at some incredible watches, including the Hublot Big Bang Unico Sapphire!
Before the Hublot, though, we have the Omega Speedmaster Dark Side of the Moon Apollo 8, a beautiful black ceramic watch with some killer yellow accents that help set it apart from the other options in the line. At 44 and change mm in diameter, it's a big watch, but it wears surprisingly well. There's also a sublime moon pattern in the movement that's incredibly discreet and the opposite of cartoonish that makes it work so superbly.
But of course, let's talk about that watch made from sapphire by the brand everyone loves to hate - Hublot. It's a 42mm watch in diameter that features an automatic winding chronograph movement with a 72 hour power reserve that is just plain pretty to look at. Being made from sapphire, it's basically weightless save the movement and pushers. The real shame, though, is that it's a limited edition of 500 pieces. Now, at just under $70k, it's a ton of money, but it still somehow represents value compared to watches in its respective price point and style.
Christian, You just broke my heart! A synthetic sapphire case attached to a strap which looks like it’s been made out of a 138 used condoms! Unacceptable! They even named the movement, U-NICO! What is that all about?🤷🏻♂️🤬
Finally.... he has come!
🙇♂️ Don’t worry, Michael said he’ll make up for it with a hell of a G-Shock review
I'm sorry Nico, could you tell us what you reaaaaally think about Hublot? ;)
@@ZeroSOFInfinity IF YOU TALK HUBLOT.... HE WILL COME.... ;)
hahaha, you are hilarious. love the part about the 138 used condoms. i just don't know how you came to that number with such confidence. i do have to apologize too, because i agree with Christian, and i love this watch.
I love the nico callout😂😂
Hublot made a G shock, put an in-house chronograph in it that’s less accurate than a 90’s speedy, and priced it at 70k. Yeah. Totally worth it.
😂😂😂
Isn't that super disingenuous? Pure sapphire watch, with a hi-beat chronograph vertical clutch movement, and well proportioned. Also, don't know if that statement is accurate about accuracy, a 90s Speedy isn't chronometer certified and this movement is based on a chronometer certified Zenith.
Honestly accuracy isn't that huge of an issue in my opinion. Yes, having an accurate watch is very nice but honestly i check my phone for the time, watch being a slight glance thing. Watches are about the artistry more than function, and let me tell you, if there wasn't brands like Richard mille and hublot out there, the watch world would be a very boring place. Plus watches are horrible value for money anyway when a 10 dollar casio keeps better time than any mechanical watch ever could. Its not about the price or accuracy more so how it makes you feel. Sorry for the long reply but I this has been on my mind lol
@@cabij2475 I totally agree with you. Great point.
@@sylinmino You can find pure sapphire on the secondary market easily for 20K less than this thing. But, you're right about the chronometer certified hi-beat movement being better, I was indeed being nooby.
Wow...70k jellyfish G-Shock🤣
Ye Ma 70k thats a bargain compare to the Rich Mille 1.2m sapphire case watches.
it will sting too
Omega by far makes some of the best chronographs in the industry! Love them as a brand
next up: the INCREDIBLE jacob & co
in 1 month: the INCREDIBLE richard mille
in 1 year: the INCREDIBLE apple watch
a little harsh imo lol
In 10 years: the INCREDIBLE vintage DW
All jokes aside though Apple Watch should not be on the list.
The DSOTM Apollo 8 is gorgeous. Omega does such a great job on finishing and overall design packages. That watch is so well executed.
1 day , just 1 day i might just buy 1 . Why ? idk , just because it is gorgeous , look at that movement , all automatics can go to waste with a movement like that . And then there are the details which you will never find on another watch ... 1 day ...
The 42mm Big Bang Unico is exceptional. He’s exactly right. The finishing on the flatter, smaller movement is just amazing. Flyback Chrono, 72 hr reserve. So well done. You don’t have to get the sapphire to get these benefits... the Titanium one is also super light.
Great to see some praise for the Omega Apollo 8. I recently bought this watch and have really been enjoying it. One other thing to mention in addition to it wearing quite small for a ‘larger’ watch but it’s also very light being ceramic. Has a very high quality feel and it also gets noticed. Great video and refreshing to see this Speedmaster getting some recognition.
I guess that after this there'll be no FUSION between T&H and Nico!
YASSS! Absolutely loved this video..... Is it wrong that Hublot is slowly winning me over.....?!
Way too many Hublot haters. 2021 full sapphire case and bracelet is 🔥🔥🔥
Nico will be furious!
Every time you showed a closeup of the Hublot I tried to find the date window but never did. I think it's a ridiculous watch.
I couldn’t find it either. I kept thinking, “what date window”.
it’s @3 o’clock, but lost in the sea of grey, anyway. I was looking for it quite desparately...
Had to google an image to see where it is. Still can’t find it on the video. Not really an issue for me since I don’t have 70k lying around.
Got my DSoTM Apollo 8
It’s really an amazing piece to behold the ceramic case
The Nico part in the beginning 😂. Another great video guys!
It’s still better than the Black Panther AP
I love that Hublot. Haha! It reminds me of a tongue-in-cheek, adult version of the Swatch I had in 6th grade. 80's kids will remember those clear/skeleton ones on similar straps that you could decorate with different "Swatch Guards." Those were so cool back in the day!
I think the Hublot is the type of watch that one has to go on a spiritual journey to accept. There are multiple iterations and evolutions of the watch enthusiast, and I'd say this is pretty late stage!
Man without knowing the price, i thought it was gonna be worth 10k
Totally agree.
Nah the pricing makes sense IMO. Sapphire watches are VERY expensive to make. Most start even higher than 70k.
Next up: The INCREDIBLE Shinola

1 year later: The INCREDIBLE Daniel Wellington in rose gold
We hate brands like Hublot and Richard Mille with such a passion. Despite them doing new things in terms of design and materials. And we all go crazy when Rolex "release" a watch that is virtually indistinguishable from previous models except for perhaps color. At some point I have to question those responses.
Personally I think innovation is really undervalued in the watch community. You could endlessly argue and discredit what these brands do. But regardless of whether it is worth the price, whether it holds real world value, or the extent you can consider it true innovation, at least they are doing some things that can be considered new and different. And shouldn't that have some impact in the way we view those releases? Especially given the lack of new design with the current retro trend of re-releases and even re-re-releases.
I am starting to get the feeling that in the online watch space there are too many bandwagon watch lovers. Buy a Speedmaster Professional and the accompanying Leica camera and cardigan and act as though it is the best thing that will ever be made. Arrogantly labeling anything with modern design as "tasteless".
Virtue-signalling and showing disdain for what you personally don't like....
Welcome to the internet!
“What could Hublot have done better with this watch?” Nico is gonna have a field day with this! 🤪😁😜
this apollo 8 definitely is in my wishlist
So many of you talk about Nico who is like the ambassador of Hublot now, because it's so easy to hate that dude and makes you wanna buy an Hublot
Hublot is a sleeper and definitely a game changer. Omega definitely went the extra mile. Two amazing watches. Thank you!
Omega - the art and science of watchmaking. This bloke - the art of inane gibbering. And to think I could have cleared my washing line in those valuable minutes!
That Hublot looks nice on his wrist and he sold the hell out of it.
if a Hublot costs that much, the least they can do is align the screws in the bezel. It just looks sloppy af
What an amazing watch the Apollo 8 is!!
Which do you recommend? This watch or a IWC Pilot Le Petit Prince? And why? Please
Nico will turn into hulk watching this hublot recommendation. This looks like gshock
Hungover Christian from Theo and Harris?
Thanks for this. I am so close to pulling the trigger on buying this watch
Thats DSOM Apolo 8 is awesome!
Dark side of this contest😎⌚️✌️
What a surprise, another limited edition from Hublot!
Just imagine how terrible that Hublot is going to look once the rubber strap starts to yellow and get dirty.
The rubber straps on Hublots and Rolexes and Zeniths and APs and Pateks take a LONG time to yellow. At that point, getting a replacement costs less than servicing costs.
@@sylinmino that’s cool. Watch still looks like dogshit though.
@@1pauld eh, I strongly disagree. People love G-Shocks for the exact same stylistic choices, and this one won't yellow in the case over time and is mechanical.
Questions? What watch came first Gshock transparent or Hubolt Unico?
If there’s one thing I would expect from brands like Omega, is that for anyone spending several thousand dollars on a watch, the omega logo on the crown should line up and be right side up when it’s screwed in.
Is see that Hublot and my first thoughts is I can just buy a clear g shock for 100 bucks lol
Very nice reviews Christian! It is so refreshing to see watches with absolute deep heritage like Omega watch. The pointed crown brand should be at the bottom of list for 2021 with their fake marketing hype.
Love the speedy and the Pink Floyd reference on the case back. Sorry, still no love for Hublot though. Cheers mate.
Clear G-Shock royal oak looks cooler LOL
That Hublot looks like a £30 jelly Swatch.
really hoped you had the tints on.. that hublot would be great in yellow
That Hublot would look perfect in a trash can, even in yellow.
They do have it in yellow sapphire and yellow ceramic.
NIIIIICOOOOO!!!! WE NEED YOU!!! I think we are losing him!
Actually the movement on that speedy is the 1869, the same as 1861 but finished with moon surface motive
Hublot is way overhated. A lot of their watches are kinda meh and I don't like their RM lookalikes, but I like their commitment to very personal-looking and modern watches.
Big RDJ circa 1986 energy with the hair style
Hublot is my favorite brand. So happy this is happening.
yes of course nico is going to be mad
Just a little problem. I can’t see the time on the hublot
Thanks for the content. Great that you’re branching out but I’d like to see a bit more vintage watch videos like you used to. Really loved it when you used to show what new, vintage watches you got in stock. Not a criticism at all and I appreciate that I’m probably more niche.
Fair request, I think there are too many new watches out to just keep talking about vintage though.
I love Hublot’s Classic Fusion series but this watch does little for me. The Seamaster is just magnificent.
Its a G-Shock.
I agree with Christian it’s a stunning piece. Have to give it to hublot, only if I had 70k burning in my pocket... lol
My like is strictly for the Speedmaster.
T&H do not respond to emails and constantly have miss information on there website. Can’t trust them to make business.😠
Awesome watch man
I like that Hublot...
A great watch..but for the general public (0-20.000usd) hublot still has nothing of quality to offer
The perfect Speedmaster.
I tried this thing on. I love it. The only problem with this watch is that it is TOO BIG!
Where is Anna?
Who is Nico?
Stylistically, $70k is absolutely ridiculous. What could they have done better you ask? They could have simply ceased from making it.
They might have done three more 500 runs with blue, red and green hands.
with that movement they could have made it smaller.. but I guess they wanted to stick with their existing ceramic cases..
A1 quality intro 😂
Not a chrono but a competitor is the chanel J-12 xray. Especially the rainbow 🌈
When are we gonna see a car video on the New g-wagon??????????
Nico’s big mad. I’m sure of it.
I prefer Casio f91 😅
Hublot looks like a swatch.
I should be so lucky, to have $70,000 to spend on a Hublot. It it’s a nice watch, but $70,000?
Like the 60k Panerai from recycled materials...
The light blue sapphire Big Bang is really cool, but a tad big.
70k LOL just get a datograph.
Christian is trolling with this expensive G-Shock, isn't it?
Nico is going to disappointed
Christian, that Speedmaster DSOTM is too large for you - - - from here to the moon too large! 😀
The Hublot looks like a bad G shock rip-off. No surprises there!
Yes, Nico is going to be mad
hublot hmm... looks like a g-shock
Screws on the bezels aren't symmetrical....On a 70k watch...wtf
lol I do wish you reviewed the Cartier though
FUSION!!!💥
In the beginning I disliked this character but he actually starts to grow on me. He is as quirky as a Sinn U 1 and as ambitious as Grand Seiko 😄
Both nice watches, but really, how massive looking can watches get??? I don't know...
Lol $70,000? Lolol I’m content with my soon to be delivered NASA G-Shock.
Nice try, but that Hublot looks hideous!!
The speedy on the other hand is 🔥🔥🔥🔥
I would not pay $70k for that Hublot.
watch fan or watch fam?
It's too thickkkk
Definitly not a game changer, not the first saphire case, not particulary beautiful nor innovative, I don't get the point.
No. Period. End. Surprised dude...tisk tisk.
Casio > Hublot
That watch is too big for you
Hublot bracelet is terrible
