INTRODUCTION

You have chosen a Hublot watch; you are about to enter a whole new world... Every piece cultivates its distinction, to assert its powerful and incredible personality every time. Yet this formidable wealth of materials, functions, colors and shapes, gives rise to a singular watchmaker: Hublot.

Committed to the concept of “the Art of Fusion” and fuelled by this spirit of innovation, the Swiss watchmaking manufacture Hublot represents the link between watchmaking tradition and modernity, creating fusions of unexpected high-performance elements such as carbon, zirconium, tantalum, titanium, tungsten, ceramic and aluminium with more conventional materials such as gold, steel, diamonds and precious stones – while developing traditional movements, always with an innovative and creative design.

This fundamental concept makes your watch a unique timepiece. As you turn this page, you will enter the world of the Spirit of Big Bang.

QUICK START

CROWN FUNCTIONS

Crown positions:

1. screw-in crown
2. winding
3. time setting
4. date setting

SCREW-IN CROWN

POSITION 0

This type of crown offers excellent protection to ensure the case's water resistance.

The crown has to be unscrewed before any operation and must be screwed back in fully afterwards.

USE

1. Unscrew the crown before any operation.
2. Press the crown firmly against the case while screwing it back in.

Occasionally, check that the crown is screwed in correctly.

WINDING

POSITION 1

This function accumulates the energy required by your watch to run properly.

USE

Self-winding

This term means that your watch automatically stores the energy generated by your arm movements when the watch is worn on your wrist.

If your watch has not been worn for some time and has stopped, you must wind it manually by rotating the crown clockwise through approximately ten turns. See drawing.

Spirit of Big Bang watches have a power reserve of 50H.

Do not forget to screw the crown back in completely to ensure its water resistance.

TIME SETTING

POSITION 2

This function enables you to set the time of your watch using the crown.

When performing this operation, make sure that the calendar date change is at midnight and not at midday.

USE

1. Pull the crown out to position 2, at the exact moment when the seconds hand is at the 12 o'clock position; the hand will then stop.
2. Then turn the crown either way to set the hour and minute hands to the
3. desired time.
4. Press the crown back in completely against the case; the watch will restart.

DATE SETTING

POSITION 3

This function enables you to set the date displayed by the watch rapidly, without changing the time, using only the crown.

It is strongly recommended not to make this correction between 8 pm and 1 am, as the calendar disc is “engaged” during this period, so the operation might damage the mechanism.

USE

1. Pull the crown out to position 3.
2. Turn the crown clockwise (or anti-clockwise, according to the model) until the desired date appears in the window.
3. Press the crown back in completely against the case.

Do not forget to screw the crown back in completely to ensure its water resistance.

OPERATION OF THE CHRONOGRAPH

The chronograph function enables you to measure a time.

The dial features 3 counters :

The hour counter is at the bottom, and the minute counter on the right; the left-hand counter shows the elapsing time, and the seconds are counted by the central direct-drive hand.

USE

Before timing, make sure that the chronograph centre hand (direct-drive), and the minute and hour counter hands have been reset. Then:

1. Press push-piece (A): the chronograph hand will start instantly.
2. When the event ends, press push-piece (A): the hand will stop and display the exact elapsed time.
3. Press push-piece (B): the direct-drive hand and counter hands will be reset.

To measure a series of sequential times: press push-piece (A) again to restart the hands.

N.B.: the chronograph can only be reset if it has first been stopped by pressing push-piece (A).

LIMITED INTERNATIONAL GUARANTEE

Your Hublot watch has been manufactured in the authentic tradition of Swiss watchmaking and has been individually tested to ensure that it is water-resistant and that it runs perfectly. Nevertheless, it is covered by a limited international guarantee against any manufacturing defect for a period of two years from the date of purchase, and for a period of one year after repair, under the conditions below.

What is covered?

Under this limited guarantee Hublot undertakes to repair, free of charge, any problem with the functions of the watch that result from defective manufacturing. This guarantee is only honored in Hublot Customer Service Centers which contact details are to be found on Hublot's website at www.hublot.com. In addition, certain limiting conditions do apply and for this reason it is essential that you read the following paragraphs.

What are the limiting conditions of this guarantee?

To benefit from this limited guarantee the following conditions must be met: – the international guarantee card must have been activated by the dealer who sold the watch, or must be enclosed with the watch when it is sent for repair and must be signed and dated at the time of purchase by an authorized Hublot dealer. Hublot will not honor the guarantee for watches sold without a valid guarantee card properly filled out and signed by an authorized Hublot dealer or by a dedicated Hublot boutique;

– the serial number engraved on the case is perfectly legible and no part of the original case back or original serial number has been removed, modified, falsified, altered, replaced, erased, defaced or made illegible. Failure to abide by any of the above conditions renders all rights resulting from the Hublot international guarantee null and void.

What is not covered?

Damage resulting from service provided anywhere other than at an Hublot Customer Service Center is not covered and shall void the guarantee. The limited guarantee also does not cover bracelets, crystals and batteries, or any scratches, dents or damages to the case or movement due to improper handling. More generally, it does not apply if there has been improper or inadequate use of the watch.

General conditions and limitations:

This limited guarantee replaces any guarantees implied by some countries' local law, including the implied guarantee of merchantability, which are disclaimed. Some countries' local law may not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you. This guarantee gives you specific legal rights and you may also have other rights under local laws which vary from country to country. Hublot and its Customer Service Centers shall have sole discretion to decide to repair or replace any Hublot timepiece under this limited international guarantee.

We recommend that you send your watch by registered mail, carefully wrapped to avoid damage, to the nearest Hublot Customer Service Center, or take it to your authorized Hublot dealer or dedicated Hublot boutique. Hublot is not responsible for loss or damage during shipping. The list of Hublot Customer Service Centers can be found on our website. On request, these Hublot Customer Service Centers will provide you with the details of your nearest authorized Hublot dealer or dedicated Hublot boutique. This guarantee does not affect your legal rights as a consumer. Please check that you have an international guarantee card – otherwise you will not be covered by the limited guarantee services outlined above.

On our website you will find a number of recommendations for the use and maintenance of your Hublot watch. Please follow them carefully since the guarantee will become invalid in the event of inappropriate use or handling.

In addition, if you wish to join our Hublotista Club, please visit our dedicated website: www.Hublotista.com. The Club allows you to become part of the Hublot Family and enjoy special privileges and exclusivities.

Recommendations and limited guarantee specific to the Australian and New Zealand markets

Hublot goods come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law: the customer is entitled to a replacement or refund for a major failure and for compensation for any other reasonably foreseeable loss or damage, and the customer is also entitled to have the goods repaired or replaced if the goods fail to be of acceptable quality and the failure does not amount to a major failure.

RECOMMENDATIONS & CARE

The constituent parts of your Hublot watch are all of the finest quality, and inspected under extremely stringent criteria. They combine to form a piece with exceptional water resistance, with certain models capable of reaching a depth of 4000 meters. To preserve these qualities, we recommend a complete overhaul every 3 to 5 years, since temperature variations, humidity, perspiration and repeated shocks may affect its water resistance as the years go by. With its water resistant case and rubber, ceramic or carbon strap, or gold or steel bracelet, your Hublot watch can be washed easily. If the watch has an alligator strap, you are advised to take it off when bathing. Clean it regularly in lukewarm soapy water, rinsing and wiping down carefully with a soft cloth. After wearing your Hublot watch in seawater, please rinse it in fresh water.
