Strap for Big Bang Original 44 Red Gold - Ceramic / Black / Rubber

No. The bracelet is integrated into the case and Hublot's patented H-shaped attachment system does not accept standard straps. There is no conventional lug to hook onto. In the atelier I build every strap directly on the watch, bespoke, with no approximations.

I work by appointment only at <a href="/pages/casati-booking">Casati Milano</a>, in Via XX Settembre 15, Milan. I bring the case to the bench and take measurements directly from the components, hand-shaping the inserts to respect the original tolerances. Remote work is not possible: this watch requires the piece to be physically present.

I prefer Full Black Tuscan leather with red fire contrast stitching. The character of this watch is built on industrial materials and sharp geometry — a structured, dark leather with a precise chromatic detail holds that tension without mimicking it. Alligator is elegant, but here it risks softening the overall feel too much.

With minimal care — keeping it away from prolonged water exposure and conditioning the leather every six months — a handmade strap lasts five, even eight years. Quality leather does not deteriorate: it changes, settles on the wrist, and develops a character that a factory strap will never achieve. It is an ageing that tells the story of use.

The case is a layering of materials that do not speak the same language: carbon, ceramic, red gold and resin coexist in a modular structure. Each material has its own tolerance, its own response to heat and pressure. When I shape the inserts, I have to account for that complexity — I cannot work as if I had a monolithic steel case in front of me.
