Watch brands launch special editions on every occasion, from anniversaries of their founding or famous models to the signing of new ambassadors and the opening of new flagship boutiques. Let me introduce you to the perfect UK replica Hublot Big Bang Meca-10 Concrete Jungle watches, a special-edition watch launched to celebrate the new Hublot Fifth Avenue flagship boutique. It does so in concrete, a material mirroring the facade of the new shop and pretty much everything else in the “concrete jungle” that is Manhattan. It’s not the first time the Nyon-based manufacturer has constructed a wristwatch using that building material with brutalist associations. Nevertheless, a watch made from the same stuff as an NYC sidewalk is still odd. Can it also be cool, or is it too literal and far-fetched to be that?
Let me start by answering the two questions I asked in the intro. Hublot used exactly the right platform to create a concrete homage watch for the new NYC boutique. The Meca-10 is the most industrial-looking 1:1 online fake watches in Hublot’s collection. That is mostly thanks to the movement showing visual likenesses to that of the construction toy Meccano, after which the caliber is inspired and named. This watch is not a world premiere since it follows the 2016 Big Bang and 2020 Classic Fusion from the Concrete Jungle series and the 2022 Classic Fusion Concrete Sand. Still, a watch in concrete is not something you see every day. In my opinion, the unusual material’s color and structure make for a cool watch.
The Hublot Big Bang Meca-10 Concrete Jungle is a special NYC edition
The Hublot Big Bang Meca-10 Concrete Jungle Jungle (US$34,100 / ref. 424.XC.5510.NR.NYC25) shows an industrial-luxury aesthetic with an exterior clad in concrete and black brushed aluminum. As you would expect, the best copy watches case’s concrete is a bit different from the material used in buildings and pavements. Hublot uses a type of concrete made with fine cement mixed with epoxy resin, the component that replaces water in the standard “recipe” for industrial concrete. You won’t find steel in Hublot’s concrete to strengthen the case. Instead of traditional steel, the brand uses fiberglass to reinforce its structure further.
There’s also an anti-UV additive in the mix to prevent discoloration. Still, the most ingenious feature of the concrete luxury replica watches UK is the “anti-graffiti” treatment Hublot uses to finish the case. Not only will it prevent vandalism by rogue street artists, but it will also protect the case against stains it could pick up in daily life. Let me put it this way: if you’re a messy eater, the ketchup from your cheeseburger won’t stain your gray concrete watch.
Outside and inside of the Big Bang Meca-10 Concrete Jungle
Not too long ago, Hublot introduced three new 42mm Big Bang Meca-10 super clone watches wholesale online. The Concrete Jungle, however, has a 44mm case, which better suits the Big Apple and American taste. It’s also more in line with other exotic Big Bang Meca-10 references. The Meca-10 “Master of Sapphire” introduced during this year’s Watches and Wonders also had a large 44mm case. The NYC edition’s 44mm concrete case has a 15.3mm thickness and a 50m water resistance rating rather than the 100m spec that the rest of the Meca-10 iterations offer.
The matte case has a grainy look and a bezel made of the same material. It shows H-shaped screws in polished and micro-blasted titanium. A matching case back completes the look, and the satin-finished titanium crown with a black rubber cover also fits the theme. This top 2025 replica watches comes with both a gray fabric strap with a Velcro fastener and a black lined rubber one. Thanks to the brand’s One Click system, you can swap the straps out easily.
Inside the concrete case beats the hand-wound in-house caliber HUB1201. This is the movement introduced in 2016, not the new HUB1205 caliber used in the latest 42mm models. Still, the “old” skeletonized movement, with its unconventional horizontally moving rack, a balance wheel in a frontal position, and bridges resembling Meccano, is fascinating. The 223-part caliber looks good on both sides, and please remember that with more than 30 components, the power reserve indicator is an intricate and very technical affair. Hublot sometimes gets slammed for doing fashion fake watches for sale only, but the Meca-10 watches, be it with the HUB1201 or the HUB1205, show interesting signs of technically original watchmaking. Twin barrels give the 3Hz movement a healthy and comforting 10-day power reserve.
Mixing, matching, fusing, and recycling
Hublot is the self-proclaimed fusion master, resulting in some pretty surprising high quality replica watches. I’m not talking about the brand’s colorful ceramic and colored sapphire creations. Rather, I mean those in more unusual materials, like a Big Bang made from recycled Nespresso cups or old tennis rackets and clothes from Novak Djokovic. The US$34,100 Big Bang Meca-10 Concrete Jungle might not be made from anything recycled, but it does qualify as a watch made from a very unusual material. Concrete might not come to mind when thinking of luxury items, and the same goes for the association with a technical material as an ideal alternative to ceramic. But it certainly makes for storytelling material.
If you want to make things concrete after reading this article and try the watch on for size, the only way to do so is to travel to New York City. You can also get the Swiss movements copy watches online, but only at 645 Fifth Avenue, New York, NY 10022, can you find out how concrete wears on the wrist before buying.
