Polo helmets, jerseys, and mallets, oh my! October 5, 2024 saw the return of the Veuve Clicquot Polo Classic to Los Angeles at Will Rogers State Park, and it had everything you could wish for on a Saturday afternoon: sunshine, sport, champagne, and of course, watches. UK Perfect replica Hublot watches have served as the Official Timekeeper and scoreboard sponsor of the equestrian event for the better part of a decade, and the newly released Hublot Spirit of Big Bang Veuve Clicquot Polo Classic is the latest limited-edition watch from the brand to commemorate that status.
Best copy Hublot watches love a good partnership, and it’s only natural that one should exist with its LVMH sister brand, Veuve Clicquot. The Hublot Spirit of Big Bang Veuve Clicquot Polo Classic is the sixth collaboration watch between Hublot and the famed Champagne maison. It follows in the steps of its forebears with a dark gray aesthetic, punctuated by a splash of iconic Veuve Clicquot Yellow. And the color is properly iconic: This specific shade has been used by Veuve Clicquot since 1876 and is both trademarked and has its own Pantone number (137 C for the color scientists at home), though it skews more orange than a traditional yellow.
The tonneau-shaped silhouette of the core collection Spirit of Big Bang is rendered here in a matte black frosted carbon, with flecks of white appearing as painterly brushstrokes throughout the case. The only exceptions are the mid-case flanks, which curiously remain a solid black. The UK 1:1 wholesale replica watches measure 42mm wide and wears quite comfortably due to the gentle curving of the oblong case as well as the minimal overall weight as to be expected from a forged carbon construction.
Inside the high quality replica Hublot Spirit of Big Bang Veuve Clicquot Polo Classic sits the Hublot Cal. HUB4700 automatic chronograph movement, which is essentially a Zenith El Primero movement modified to accommodate the skeletonized elements of the dial. The caliber operates at the classic El Primero frequency of 5Hz, or 36,000bph, with 50 hours of power reserve. The anthracite dial is openworked, with polished applied hour markers and a color-matched handset — the vibrant yellow-orange chronograph seconds hand notwithstanding, of course. Unfortunately, while that single punch of color is the most easily readable part of the watch, the main hour and minute hands tend to get lost among the other dial elements. The easiest solution would have been for the entire handset to be done in Veuve Clicquot Yellow as shop fake Hublot did for last year’s Spirit of Big Bang Tourbillon Veuve Clicquot Polo Classic watches. Not only does the contrast of the yellow-orange hue against a dark background improve legibility ten-fold, but it’s also wildly fun. Thankfully, the vivid accents continue on through to the two available black rubber strap options: one with orange alligator and black stitching, and the other with black alligator and orange stitching. Both are fitted with a black ceramic and titanium deployant clasp to complete the look.
The top fake Hublot Spirit of Big Bang Veuve Clicquot Polo Classic is limited to 30 pieces, and each watch is individually numbered and engraved to denote its special edition status. The Veuve Clicquot Polo Classic logo is also printed on the sapphire crystal of the caseback, just in case there was any confusion as to the watch’s affiliation when opening up the unmistakably branded Veuve Clicquot presentation box.
It’s still a breezy, convivial atmosphere at Will Rogers State Park as the sun slowly trots toward the horizon and the friendly exhibition polo match comes to a close. Even though the visitors bested the home team by a score of 9-7, it’s all smiles as a giant bottle of Veuve is brought out, popped, and inevitably sprayed around to wrap up the day’s events. It’s a fun, fitting cap to this annual ode to polo, and exactly the energy that the cheap super clone Hublot Spirit of Big Bang Veuve Clicquot Polo Classic is meant to celebrate.
