It has a robust look to it.
If I had to have a Hublot, this would be a contender!

Certainly wins the prize for best set of crown guards.

I like the way the chrono uses a centre minutes hand, a lot more legible than a subdial.

Good review here, although it does say the bezel crown can't be used with gloves on, which makes it kind of useless.

I'm not sure many deep seas divers would consider this as their work watch - and most people who might consider buying this would likely only get near water whilst lazing by a Vegas pool!

A monstrosity.

I must have very different taste because...

There are so many details that are supremely engineered - With the exception of the internal bezel, which would not bother me out of the water.

I think that that may actually be the least ugly Hublot I have ever seen. Don't get me wrong, it's still ugly, it's just the least ugly.

I'll say this in defence of Hublot, they do challenge our perceptions of aesthetics. That said I have no desire to wear one and not enough money to buy one.

Looks like a good attempt at a divers tool watch, better than their Premier League footballer offerings.
No more Quartz (except when I cannot resist).

Two places you see large, daft dive watches, when a plonker wears one with a suit or for actual diving, where it actually looks ok, I can't imagine this looking good on ANYONE's wrist though!!

Bit harsh!

What constitutes a large diver? Planet Ocean, DeepSea, Sub, Blancpain fifty fathoms, etc etc. All look fine with a suit in my eyes!

No standard strap-lug system and no bracelet option, so no buy from me.
