That is the goldest looking titanium I have ever seen.
The caseback ring does not look like titanium. And the gasket under the bezel certainly is not ceramic. Do you mean to imply the tantalum is perhaps formed over a piece of ceramic? I thought the layer between the bezel and case middle is dubbed kevlar. It is pliable, so I do not think it is ceramic.
Strange to me that Hublot would choose to etch the names of two materials that are not the two you see - gold and tantalum.

Not exactly every Sunday, but I try to do boutique hopping and shoot new or unique pieces to share them here. Lighting at the boutique or AD is always far from ideal, so pardon the quality or color of them :-( Please do not hesitate to post your Sunday sh...
Thanks. Yes, it's been confirmed with Hublot...
.. that it is Tantalum. Very heavy metal and I like the weight. Thanks, micro! Ken This message has been edited by KIH on 2011-07-25 16:14:48

That's some piece of work you got there. But seriously sweet... like it!
Because behind the tantalum bezel there is a ceramic piece then titanium back

Yes it's special King Titanium
No of course not.... Don't know what I was thinking of....I apologise for my idiocity! I asked exactly the same question about a standard Big Bang "elsewhere" and copied the answer without engaging brain let alone looking at the back of the watch. Oops in...
You know what?
Hi Rei, The AD has been telling me that the Hublot stock is thinning and really short supply these days - naturally, there was no Unico there.... I understand your fav for Unico (as I would), but no avail.... Perhaps the Boutique may have some, but the in...
Good to hear that.
Let me share what I saw during my recent trips to Japan & Hong Kong. I saw more Hublots worn by people in Tokyo, my #1 favorite city in the world, than in HK. I think I only saw 1 wearing KP all black in an upscale mall. Dunno why, but Hublot is contagiou...
I concur...
"Hublot is contagious " - I can't agree more. My AD says Hublot sells very well especially these days, in addition to lots of inquiry via phone or internet. I would have thought that KP or even BB 44mm would be considered too big for the wrists of Japanes...
I wish I could visit Japan every 6 months Ken :-)
or less...haha! Will contact you when I visit again. Ki o tsukete...
