This replica big bang 1107 black uses a ceramic case to house the Sang Bleu II geometric dial in its darkest configuration, carrying reference 418.CX.1107.RX.MXM22. The CX designation identifies black ceramic as the case material, which gives the 45mm case a matte, scratch-resistant surface that absorbs light rather than reflecting it. Combined with a black dial featuring Maxime Plescia-Buchi’s overlapping angular planes, the entire watch reads as a single dark sculptural object. The MXM22 generation refines the second chapter with updated proportions.

Case & Movement Specs

• Case diameter: 45mm
• Case material: black ceramic (microblasted finish)
• Bezel: black ceramic with geometric faceted construction
• Crystal: sapphire
• Dial: black with three-dimensional overlapping geometric planes
• Strap: black rubber with ceramic deployment clasp
• Movement: automatic
• Functions: hours, minutes, seconds

Black ceramic is significantly harder than stainless steel on the Mohs scale, which means the case resists daily scratches that would mark metal surfaces. The microblasted finish adds a uniform matte texture across the entire case surface.

Caliber Breakdown

The automatic movement inside keeps time-only functionality, matching the other Sang Bleu II references in the series. The choice to exclude chronograph subdials was deliberate in the original design. Plescia-Buchi’s geometric overlays need uninterrupted surface area to create the intended visual effect, and additional registers would fragment the angular pattern. The 28,800 vph frequency and automatic winding handle daily wear requirements. For anyone comparing Sang Bleu II materials, the 411.EX.5120.NR shows how the standard Big Bang handles a dark titanium approach without the geometric dial treatment. The full Sang Bleu range lives within the Big Bang lineup as its most design-forward subseries.

How It Compares

Among the three main Sang Bleu II colorways, this black ceramic edition delivers maximum shadow depth within the geometric dial construction. Where the white version flattens and the blue version shifts, the black version deepens. The ceramic material compounds that effect by eliminating any metallic reflection from the case itself. Collectors who own multiple hublot sang bleu variations typically cite the black ceramic as the most architecturally coherent because case, bezel, dial, and strap all operate within the same tonal range. This replica big bang 1107 black represents the most committed execution of the Sang Bleu II concept available in the current range.
