Is your Hublot
the real deal?
Hublot's bold fusion of materials and daring designs have made it one of the most counterfeited luxury watch brands. Learn how to verify your Hublot's authenticity.
How to authenticate a Hublot
Signature Bezel Screws
Hublot's iconic H-shaped titanium screws on the bezel must be perfectly aligned, evenly spaced, and precisely machined with no tool marks or burrs.
Big Bang Case Construction
The multi-layered sandwich case construction is a Hublot hallmark. Each layer should fit flush with precise tolerances and consistent finishing.
Movement Finishing (HUB Calibers)
In-house HUB and UNICO calibers feature distinctive finishing with beveled edges, Geneva stripes, and precise decoration visible through the case back.
Rubber Strap Quality
Hublot's natural rubber straps are supple, evenly textured, and feature a distinctive lined pattern. The clasp should deploy smoothly with solid construction.
Dial Printing & Crown Detail
Dial text should be crisp with no bleeding or smudging. The crown should feature the Hublot "H" logo with precise engraving and smooth operation.
Common counterfeit signs
Misaligned Bezel Screws
The H-shaped screws on the bezel are extremely difficult to replicate. Fakes often show uneven spacing, different screw depths, or screws that are slightly rotated.
Cheap Rubber Strap
Counterfeit Hublot straps feel stiff and plasticky rather than supple. The texture pattern is often inconsistent and the edges may show rough finishing.
Wrong Movement
Many fakes use cheap quartz or low-grade automatic movements instead of genuine HUB or UNICO calibers. Check the movement through the exhibition case back.
Lightweight Feel
Genuine Hublot watches have substantial weight from premium materials like titanium, ceramic, or gold. Counterfeits use cheaper alloys and feel noticeably lighter.
