It was a very big deal for Hublot when they teamed up with Novak Djokovic, the greatest to ever play the game of tennis. Naturally, a limited edition inspired by their marquee brand ambassador followed, the Big Bang Unico Novak Djokovic, and of course Hublot seized the moment to flex its unparalleled mastery of materials by creating a limited edition run of 100 watches with composite cases that were made by recycling 25 racquets and 32 polo shirts used by Novak Djokovic during the 2023 season – notably netting a case that weighs less than a tennis ball.
Now, Hublot has upped the ante, presenting the buy fake Hublot Big Bang Tourbillon Novak Djokovic GOAT watches in not just one, but three different configurations. Measuring 44mm in diameter and 14.4mm thick, the 30-metre water-resistant case is available in either matte blue, orange, or green composite. The composite once again utilises recycled polo shirts and Head tennis racquets from Djokovic, with a similar sort of openworked case construction, for lack of a better phrase, that we saw with the Unico Novak Djokovic edition. At the core of the case in its midsection is Titaplast, the world’s strongest polymer according to Hublot, and it’s utilised due to its titanium-like properties with the further ability to be coloured via an anodisation process. Ultimately, this is a watch that Hublot has designed with the intent of being able to withstand match play.
The best replica Hublot watches Djokovic already excited me as a tennis fan, with its case imbued with tangible tennis memorabilia. But this sequel takes things a step further, and I am not just referring to the step up in complication to a tourbillon. The element I really want to highlight and emphasise here is the special mainplate construction of this heavily remixed MHUB6035 movement. Rather than the traditional solid mainplate you would normally find on a calibre, Hublot has created a three-dimensional lattice that takes on the layout and aesthetic of a tennis racquet’s strings.
It is a single piece, cleverly machined in a high-tech laser-engraving process and then finished with a black PVD coating with Novak’s famous swooping personal “ND1” logo printed over it in contrasting white. Each “string” is just .55mm thick, yet the detailing on the single piece really encapsulates the texture you would find on actual tennis strings. The irregular gaps of the lattice grid even simulate the manner in which the strings shift during match play.
The tennis detailing overall is really impeccable, with the attachment points for this single lattice piece emulating exactly what you would find on a racquet, the white leather strap crafted to emulate a white tennis grip, and even the screws, with a tennis ball emulating an S-shape that required a bespoke machining programme and a new S-shaped screwdriver head to secure the screws.
Returning to the cases for a minute, the colours are not random, nor merely just playful. They are actually tributes to the court surfaces on which Djokovic has triumphed. Blue is a nod to the colour of hard courts, orange to clay courts, and green to grass courts. Rather than make the watch a limited edition, they are instead limited production. The UK top fake watches will be offered in a numbered sequence to follow Novak’s wins on each surface.
At present, that means there will be 72 pieces in blue, symbolising Novak’s hard court wins; 21 in orange for his clay court wins; and, making it the most exclusive, 8 in green for his wins on grass. Hublot explains that on the occasion of any future win, the brand will add a further perfect clone watches, coloured according to the tournament surface. So, as long as you can save up US$115,000 before Novak retires, you are in the running to secure one of these horological pieces of tennis history.
