Deers, Beers & Cheers: The Hublot Big Bang Bavaria
Following one of the biggest trends of recent years – but for the first time in a Big Bang model – the case of the Big Bang Bavaria is made of bronze. Non-magnetic, corrosion-resistant and naturally patinated, the 45mm bronze case has a black ceramic caseback to prevent any possible skin irritation and gold screws. The bund-style straps are made from the same deer leather used in Bavaria’s lederhosen and dirndl bodices. In a process that takes up to four months, the hides are salted and soaked in a limestone solution before being treated with cod-liver oil, sun-dried and coloured with tropical wood bark dyes. The new watch comes with two quick-change straps, the first in natural brown embroidered with two deer heads; the second is dark brown leather embroidered with oak leaves.
