The impossible: Hublot Big Bang Unico Magic Gold

Hublot is the first and only watch brand that has created the impossible: scratch-resistant 18K gold.A common way to indicate and compare the hardness of a material is the Vickers scale. Here you the true value of what Hublot has accomplished becomes clear. Normal, 18 karat gold is around 400 Vickers, depending on the exact alloy. Magic Gold is however about 1.000 Vickers, and with that, it is, even more, scratch resistant than steel, which ranks at 600 Vickers. More hublot big bang replica.
