Hublot was the proud presenting sponsor to this year’s W!LD RICE Ball, one of Singapore’s most anticipated society event recently held at Shangri-La Hotel Singapore. Aptly themed - DIAMONDS ARE FOREVER – premised by the glamour and excitement of James Bond films; the event was a scintillating affair for more than 500 attending guests especially with the extravagant displays of Hublot’s watches including the one and only $5 Million Big Bang.
As the world’s leading alchemist of revolutionary timepieces, Hublot pulled out all the stops to ensure that guests were treated to an impressive display of their dazzling watches. Guests indulged and interacted with Hublot’s unconventional 3-Dimensional showcases that utilised a clever interplay of animation, movement sensors and digital media. The sole $5 Million Big Bang remained the centre of attraction amidst other inimitable gem set watches which included the $1.2 Million Big Bang and other high complication watches, giving guests an insight to Hublot’s rich expertise as a luxury watch maker.
Mr. Ricardo Guadalupe, CEO of Hublot, who flew in specially to grace this event said, “Mastering the ‘Art of Fusion’, Hublot symbolizes the merging of tradition and future.

The Omega Seamaster 007 Edition, reference 210.92.42.20.01.001, distinguishes itself within the Seamaster Diver 300M collection through its specific aesthetic and material choices. This particular reference offers a distinct interpretation of the Seamaster Diver 300M, setting it apart from standard production models with its unique dial and bezel execution, and the use of lightweight titanium for both the case and bracelet. It represents a focused design within the broader Seamaster lineage.
This edition features a 42mm case crafted from grade 2 titanium, paired with a domed sapphire crystal that enhances its vintage-inspired appearance. The watch is powered by the Omega Co-Axial Master Chronometer Calibre 8806, an automatic movement certified to meet the industry's highest standards of precision, chronometric performance, and magnetic resistance. It offers a power reserve of 55 hours and is water-resistant to 300 meters.
This reference appeals to collectors seeking a Seamaster Diver 300M with a specific material and color palette. Its cohesive design, from the tropical brown dial to the titanium mesh bracelet, creates a unified presentation. The absence of a date complication further contributes to its clean and symmetrical dial layout, a detail often appreciated by enthusiasts.
