====== Hublot Big Bang Tantalum Mat ======
{{wst>image_cr|Hublot|Big Bang Tantalum Mat}}

**Big Bang Tantalum Mat** is a [[chronograph]] by [[Hublot]].

This [[2007]] presented version of the [[2004]] published success model [[Hublot Big Bang|Big Bang]] with [[self-winding]] movement is dedicated all over to the unusual and rare material [[tantalum]], which ensures a cryptic-discreet appearance. Hublot speaks with the "Mat" series about a "monochrome/monomaterial" concept. Again, like the sensational [[Hublot Big Bang "All Black"|Big Bang "All Black"]], the game of graded metal and grays develops its own mysterious charm.

  Both case and also [[bezel]] are manufactured from the skin-friendly [[tantalum]] (which, by the way, like [[platinum]], is also extremely difficult to work with and whose occurrence is also lower than that of [[gold]]). The dial is mat gray; the indexes and numerals are made of [[tantalum]]. Like with all Big Bangs there is also an easily adjustable [[rubber]] strap with [[folding clasp]], and the watch is [[waterproof]] to 10 atm.
