Some watches seem like they should have been there all along, and this is certainly one of them. The Big Bang has a very link specific link flair associated with it, along with a very specific market segment, and I think the design is perfectly accentuated by an integrated bracelet. When anyone familiar with Hublot first sees the watch, the next question might be, “Hold on a second, that’s new?” It feels like it link should have been this way all along.
The closure of The Strip in Las Vegas has surely put a damper on tourism (it doesn't exist), and by link extension, link the local economy. For a business that employs 65 people like LV Luxury, the effect is felt not only by the folks directly behind the business, but by those that are employed as well.

The watch has the brand's flared lugs, a mix of brushing and polishing, and a balanced 38mm diameter by 11mm thick stainless steel case with 100m link of water link resistance. It's a "a Ming" in the purest and best sense of the phrase.
The watch maintains its 41mm sizing. The lug link width is 21mm, and the link bracelet tapers down to 16mm at the clasp. Omega has made a little tweak to the bracelet design as well. Instead of link polishing the center-links, they are brushed – with polished outer links.
