Forged from a fusion of steel, black ceramic, composite resin, and rubber, and secured by six titanium H-screws, this watch won the Design Prize at the 2005 GPHG and helped transform Hublot from a quiet sleeper into one of the most talked-about names at the fair. This model is best for someone who wants a bold, modern luxury chronograph, especially collectors who already own traditional pieces and want something more aggressive, sporty, and contemporary.

Presents itself in mint condition with little to no signs of wear. The carbon effect dial is the showstopper a checkered, three-dimensional weave that catches light like the hood of a Le Mans prototype. The polished black ceramic bezel is the second flex: scratch-proof, ridged at the edge, and bolted down by those six signature titanium screws. The polished and satin-finished steel case completes the look with a mix of gloss and brushed metal that moves on the wrist.

Functions include hours, minutes, seconds, date, and a chronograph with 30 minute and 12 hour counters. The push-pull crown controls winding, time setting, and quick date setting. The top pusher starts and stops the chronograph, while the bottom pusher resets it after timing, making it practical for everyday use.

A genuine piece of watch history rather than just another luxury chrono, the 301.SB.131.RX is the watch that lit the fuse on the entire bold sports luxury era the Big Bang that gave the brand its name in pop culture, on Jay-Z’s wrist and at the FIFA World Cup alike. Collectors who already have the classics and want something louder should give this model serious attention. It brings ceramic, steel, rubber, chronograph function, and unmistakable Hublot design into one clean package.
