Ted O, a respected voice in the WatchProSite community, initiated a compelling discussion for enthusiasts of Hublot's 'ALL BLACK' aesthetic. His original post, featuring three distinct models—the Integral, Meca 10, and Aero Bang All Black—invites collectors to weigh in on their preferences and suggest other true 'ALL BLACK' references. This article synthesizes the community's expert opinions, offering valuable insights for anyone considering these striking, monochromatic timepieces.

And I really mean an ALL BLACK model, no in betweens — so if preowned like some of below so be it. Thoughts?

Integral

Meca 10 (older model, before they added small red indicators)

Aero Bang All Black (much older, a bit hard to find)

Thoughts on these? What am is missing along these lines? Which do you prefer and why? Any other recs?

Key Points from the Discussion

The Aero Bang All Black, while an older model, features an altered Valjoux 7750 movement and remains a cool choice for collectors seeking a classic Hublot chronograph.
For those who appreciate the Unico movement, the Integral offers a version of this in-house caliber, making it a strong contender, especially the 'Unico all-black red' variant.
While the Meca 10 boasts a really cool movement, its lack of a date complication might be a deal-breaker for some collectors.
A true Hublot, for some purists, is best experienced on a rubber strap, which might influence the choice against integrated bracelet models like the Integral.
Other 'ALL BLACK' Hublot models to consider include the Big Bang, Classic Fusion Orlinski, and Spirit of Big Bang, with a preference for models featuring the Unico movement.
The community also highlights the appeal of white ceramic Hublot models, suggesting that a 25-30% discount would make them an attractive acquisition.

2nd choice - MECA 10 The MECA is a really cool movement but no date so I’m out.

On what you want... The third is an Aerobang, with an altered 7750 on board. But still pretty cool. Grtz Dom My AB's

King power, Classic fusion, Meca 10 and Big Bang one click. Difficult one, if you like the Aero, i would search for one of the first batch BB. The integrated is nice, but for me, a Hublot needs to be on a rubber.. Choices, choices... Grtz,Dom

Looks like the first generation I believe without the red markers inside the dial, that now I believe is called a Magic model? By chance know ref number for the last one you called the BB one click ?
