Hublot Year of the Snake

In 2025, the Year of the Snake in China, many watch brands celebrate the new year with the release of their version of the Year of the Snake. This year, Hublot released a special limited edition watch for the Chinese New Year, the Hublot Year of the Snake, continuing their tradition in 2016. This year’s model, based on the Spirit of Big Bang, prominently features a snake design.

The snake motif continues on the bezel and the rubber strap, featuring a scale-like engraving. Although the watch’s festive theme is highly appealing, the intricate details of the craftsmanship will truly capture your interest. The case is made entirely of ceramic, and the bezel is secured with visible screws.
The snake theme is visible, especially in the sub-dial borders that resemble serpent shapes, all finished in gold. The design extends to the bezel and rubber strap, which showcase a scale-like engraving. While the festive theme is eye-catching, the intricate horological details truly captivate.

Additionally, Hublot Year of the Snake has an open dial that reveals the inner workings of the chronograph caliber HUB4700, derived from the original El Primero chronograph movement from 1969. This version includes enhancements like a low-friction silicon escape wheel.

Priced at $35,100, Hublot Year of the Snake is limited to just 88 pieces. The case, which is 42mm wide and 14.1mm tall, has a barrel shape that’s becoming popular even among more affordable brands.

Additionally, the skeletonized dial allows for a clear view of the movement, and flipping the watch reveals more of the HUB4700’s details, showcasing Hublot’s fine craftsmanship with various metal finishes and a customized rotor. For more information, you can visit Hublot’s website.
