Hublot Big Bang Soldier All Black Watch Review
The Hublot Big Bang Soldier All Black is a 42mm ceramic chronograph created with London-based Nigerian artist Leonard Iheagwam, known as Soldier. Limited to 50 pieces, it features an all-black design with silhouetted toy soldiers arranged in a bandolier across the bezel and dial, and a small-seconds hand shaped like a toy soldier. The imagery reflects themes of migration, cultural identity, self-expression, and the way military conflict is presented to children. Powered by Hublot’s automatic HUB1280 movement, the watch offers a 72-hour power reserve, chronograph functions, and 100 metres of water resistance. It comes with a black fabric strap and additional red- and green-accented rubber straps, plus a bespoke display case. Priced at £22,900, its striking but difficult-to-read dial and specific artistic message may divide opinion.
Buying Time Analysis: This story matters because the limited-edition watch uses art to challenge military camouflage restrictions and question how war is presented to children.
