Hublot launches Square Tourbillon 4 Day Power Reserve watch with carbon fiber case
I must admit that when I browse Hublot's Big Bang collection, some watches are so similar to each other that it's easy to be dazzled and lose sight of the uniqueness of each watch, even some of the more unique versions like the Square Bang. However, the uniqueness of the new Square Bang Tourbillon 4 Day Power Reserve watch is immediately apparent. This is the first Square Bang watch that is not a chronograph, and more importantly, it has a very unique skeleton display.
Since this is the first tourbillon watch in the Square Bang series, Hublot wanted to create a unique case for it. To do this, they completely redesigned the 42mm case, using a carbon composite material woven into vertical and horizontal lines. This material creates a striking patterned texture on the sides of the case and the wide, flat bezel. It's a little weird to see a material that usually feels natural and casual being tamed into rigid lines - this is because carbon composites are usually made of carbon fibers and bonded with resin to enhance their strength, which usually creates random patterns in the material. However, through careful crafting, the final pattern can be predetermined, just like this watch.
Speaking of hard lines, the skeletonized display features completely square bridges. This gives the piece a modernist appeal, like a Mondrian painting. The dial is full of windows through which you can admire the individual components inside the movement, which are divided into small pieces for you to admire. It contrasts with the round parts of the movement mechanism, such as the gear train, power reserve indicator, power barrel and tourbillon.
It is worth noting that each of the four elements is specially arranged to match the four sides of the square design: the power barrel at 12 o'clock, the winding system at 3 o'clock, the tourbillon at 6 o'clock and the power reserve indicator at 9 o'clock. It does not necessarily balance the display, as the size and function of each element are very different, but it does create a sense of harmony.
The movement that powers the Square Bang Tourbillon watch is the MHUB6023. This is a manual-winding movement with a 96-hour power reserve, which is why the “4-day power reserve” in the watch’s full name comes from it. A tourbillon watch is an energy-intensive complication due to its continuous rotation, so a 4-day power reserve is really impressive. This is also why the power reserve box takes up so much space at the top of the display.
Thanks to the dynamic geometric display, it is a watch with a lot of personality.

They often say that the watch industry moves slowly, but I’m always struck by the fact that it’s been 14 months since Zenith made its big return to the world of dive watches with the launch of the Defy Extreme Diver and Defy Revival Diver. Now, more than a year later, it’s time for Zenith to release some follow-up models, and they’ve duly unveiled the new Defy Extreme Diver and Defy Revival Diver “Shadow” editions. “Shadow” is more of a nickname than an official name used by Zenith, and refers to the dark grey hue of the micro-blasted titanium case.
Zenith Defy Extreme Diver “Shadow”
While Zenith is traditionally associated with pilots’ watches and chronographs, the Defy Extreme Diver is a professional diver’s watch with a 600m water resistance rating. This rating is actually a step up from most professional dive watches, which we classify as 300 meters water-resistant. 600 meters of water resistance qualifies it as a so-called saturation diver’s watch, designed for use in pressurized environments for days or even weeks at a time. It’s literally “extreme”, and that’s what it is.
The 42.5mm case is made from the same lightweight titanium as the 2024 model, but it’s treated in a new style. The original was brushed, which was more shiny in the light, while the Shadow version is micro-blasted for a more matte finish that shows off the depth of the titanium compared to the steel. It looks like it’s been coated with an anthracite coating, but it’s not; it’s just the natural tone of the dark metal.
To complement the watch’s dark hue, Zenith has given the Defy Extreme Diver Shadow a black dial, adorned with the modern Defy’s signature four-pointed star motif. But this watch is not without color, as you can clearly notice that the most eye-catching part of the whole design is the bright yellow minute scale on the edge of the dial. This is also a highlight of this new design.
Inside the watch is the same El Primero 3620 automatic movement with a power reserve of 60 hours. As a member of the El Primero family, it is naturally a high-frequency movement, with a vibration frequency of up to 36,000 vph, which helps to ensure the high accuracy of the watch.
Zenith Defy Extreme Diver Reference: 97.9600.3620/21.I300 Case: 42.5mm x 15.5mm, titanium Dial: Black and yellow matte with starry sky pattern Water resistance: 600m (60 bar) Movement: Zenith El Primero 3620 automatic, 26 jewels Frequency: 36,000 vph (5 Hz) Power reserve: 60h Functions: Hours, minutes, seconds, date Strap: Titanium bracelet, with additional black Cordura-effect rubber and black and yellow fabric straps.
Zenith Defy Revival Diver “Shadow” Based on the 1969 A3648 watch, the Revival Diver features the iconic octagonal design and sharp faceting. Like the Extreme Diver, it’s made from micro-blasted titanium to bring out the metal’s natural deep hue. While the case is more compact, with vintage proportions at 37mm, it’s still 15.5mm thick. It’s still water-resistant to 600m, which is ironic since it’s the same as the Defy Extreme Diver, but Zenith didn’t emphasize that too much on the Revival.
Zenith has gone a step further with the yellow here, using the color on the minute markers and rotating diving bezel for a rich visual effect. With the Batman logo printed in the center of the dial, you can imagine it hanging securely on Adam West’s belt. I say this with good intentions—Adam West is the best Batman, so feel free to challenge me in the comments below.
The Zenith Defy Revival Diver Shadow is powered by the Elite 670 movement, which does not have the same performance and prestige as the El Primero movement, which has a power reserve of 50 hours and beats at 28,800 vph.
Zenith Defy Revival Diver Reference: 97.A3648.670/21.M3648 Case: 37mm x 15.5mm, titanium Dial: Black and yellow Water resistance: 600m (60bar) Movement: Zenith Elite 670 automatic, 27 jewels Frequency: 28,800 vph (4 Hz) Power reserve: 50 hours Functions: Hours, minutes, seconds, date Bracelet: Titanium bracelet with folding clasp.

Richard Mille: The removable rotor of the new RM 30-01 is impressive
Richard Mille has launched an upgraded version of the RM 030 model since 2011. Not only the technical data has been significantly improved.
A successor to the RM030, the new RM 30-01 automatic with removable rotor is a real step forward. Richard Mille watches are available in two cases and offer a wealth of exciting technical details. (Also read: Rafael Nadal wore a $1 million Richard Mille watch to the Australian Open opener.)
Removable rotor ensures consistent accuracy The brand's high-end—and sometimes downright flashy—design language belies the fact that the RM 30-01, with its removable oscillating weight, three hands, and large date display, is actually a fairly simple concept, albeit in a Richard's iconic tonneau-shaped case Mille. Home. There is no denying the exceptional quality of every element of this watch, but the new RMAR2 caliber is especially worth a look. (Also interesting: Bulgari reinterprets the Octo Finissimo CarbonGold on the occasion of Geneva Watch Days)
An oversized date window (trademark of Richard Mille) is combined with an innovative removable oscillating weight. This means that the rotor is automatically detached from the barrel after it has been fully wound. This optimizes barrel torque and ensures consistent performance. When the power reserve approaches 40 hours, the oscillating weight re-engages to wind the mainspring barrel, ensuring that time accuracy is always maintained.
The button is a function button that can be used to select the winding, set the time and set the date. Almost every other brand in the world would use the traditional crown adjustment position to achieve this, but not Richard Mille - that's what makes all the difference.
The design language symbolizes a mix of balance and energy The design of the RM 30-01 showcases a new interpretation of the skeletal structure, exuding balance and dynamism. Grade 5 titanium bridges and mounts create the effect of perspective and depth characterized by parallel segments.
This particular 103m Bugatti Chiron Tourbillon Worth More Than 2 Mercedes G-Classes
Jacob & Co. presents the Bugatti Chiron 16-Cylinder Tourbillon watch.
The watch has a moving crankshaft as well as pistons, like a miniature Bugatti Chiron on your wrist.
A year ago, Bugatti and Jacob and Co. signed an agreement to produce timepieces that showcase the energy and performance of both brand names.
To capture the spirit and also energy of the £1. 2 billion high-performance Bugatti Chiron hypercar, Jacob & Co. spent a year in the advancement phase before unveiling the vehicle engine-inspired Bugatti Chiron Tourbillon.

It does not only provides hours along with minutes, but also a renovated one-minute tourbillon cage likely at 30 degrees.
Audemars Piguet's Code 11.59 is now available in stainless steel
For the first time the Code series is available in stainless steel (with or without ceramic).
Launched in 2019, the controversial Audemars Piguet Code 11.59 collection has undergone some drastic evolutions over the past few years. Not even talking about adding every possible complication, the classic models - time and date and chronograph - have been improved by adding new smoked/gradient dials. But as of now, the collection is mostly available in white or rose gold, with or without ceramic trim. Not anymore, as we now have Code 11.59 watches in stainless steel, available in three hands and chronograph, with new dial patterns and colors making them sportier and more casual. 6 references in total, including 2 bolder gradients and ceramic elements. Let's take a closer look.
The first year of Code 11.59 was tough...the release wasn't as successful as expected, and the response to the watch wasn't overwhelming. The reason could be the rather sleek dials offered in the first models. Still, the watch itself has some very interesting features, such as a complex and stunning case (at least from the side) and reliable new in-house movements – including the long-awaited integrated chronograph movement . But the exterior isn't striking enough. Things changed when AP decided to spice things up with gradient dials, two-tone cases, or ceramic trim, enhancing the complex shapes of the cases. But all of them are mostly made of gold...expensive, heavy and too formal for some.
That changes this year with the introduction of the Code 11.59 steel model. Six reference models, offering time and date and chronograph models, feature new dials in cool colors and livelier textures. What remains is the shape of the case, which remains one of the most complex in the brand's portfolio. Consisting of stylized skeletonized lugs, an ultra-thin bezel, an octagonal case middle, and a curvature extending from 12 o'clock to 6 o'clock, understated at first glance, it's more interesting from the side. Now made of steel (for the bezel, lugs, and caseback), the finish is equally impressive, combining brushed surfaces with hand-polished accents. Models with beige dials add a case middle and a black ceramic crown for more contrast. Unfortunately,
What kind of watch can I wear while driving a supercar? What does the word "avant-garde" stand for? Roger Dubuis must have a good answer. As a synonym for "unique and distinctive". Roger Dubuis has been presenting us with a wide range of fashion masterpieces with outstanding designs since its inception. Among them, there are many cooperation models of famous cars, which have become a unique existence in the watchmaking industry with their unruly and subversive designs. Today, we will appreciate a Roger Dubuis and Lamborghini collaboration watch - Excalibur Huracán watch. Now, come and enjoy the details of the watch with me: (watch model: RDDBEX0829)
Roger Dubuis and Lamborghini have been cooperating since 2017 and have launched a lot of cooperation models. The Excalibur Huracán watch above is inspired by Lamborghini's Huracán ("Calf"). The oscillating weight that resembles the rim and the movement originating from the pull rod in the engine room of the supercar are in this square-inch timepiece. Perfectly displayed.
This Excalibur Huracán watch is made of black DLC-coated titanium alloy, which is not only light in texture, but its dull black appearance gives the watch a domineering and handsome charm. The case and bezel are made of this material, and the bezel is also equipped with the iconic triangular pit pattern of the King series, which is highly recognizable.
The crown resembles the shape of a super sports car wheel nut. All details are inspired by sports car elements. The watch is equipped with a rubber strap, which is lined with Alcantara® Alcantara material.
The bottom of the watch also adopts a back-through design. Through the bottom cover, we can clearly appreciate many supercar elements: the oscillating weight is designed to imitate the rim of a supercar, and the RD630 movement inside it is Roger Dubuis and Lamborghini. The second movement jointly developed by the sports department, the upper plywood of the movement comes from the "engine room lever" design of the V10 engine of the Huracán supercar. At the same time, this movement is equipped with a double barrel, which can provide the watch with 60 hours of power reserve.
To sum up, the design of this all-black Excalibur Huracán watch is very good. Not only does the overall shape give a strong sense of impact, but its details perfectly integrate the design elements of supercars, interpreting the car in its unique way. A fusion of aesthetics, timepieces and supercars.
