Although the racing calendar is usually associated with motorsports, the racing calendar concept predates the invention of the automobile by more than 60 years. But what exactly is a race watch, and how is it different from a time watch? Perhaps more importantly, what is the best timing so far? Here’s everything you need to know before buying a race watch.
Do you know anything about a racing watch?
As its name suggests, a racing watch is a purpose-built timepiece used to measure race times – whether car, motorbike, horse, or yachting races. Today, racing watches are essentially synonymous with chronograph watches. However, while all modern horse racing replica watches are chronographs, not all of them are.
A chronograph is a watch that at the very least consists of a stopwatch function but also frequently features additional counters to display how much time has passed. A contemporary chronograph typically has two chronograph pushers flanking the winding crown, which serve to start, stop (upper pusher), and reset (lower pusher) the central chronograph hand.
Apart from that, chronograph replica Rolex watches normally include sub-dials to read the elapsed hours and minutes since the start of the event. There often is an additional sub-dial for the running second’s hand too. It’s crucial and significant to note that there are variations such as chronographs with a single pusher or chronographs that display both the elapsed minutes and hours on a single sub-dial.
Not all chronometers have scales, but many do. A chronograph can measure different types of events according to the scale it corresponds to. We will talk more about racing watches next time.

The Hublot Spirit of Big Bang Gold watch has an intriguing, complicated design rivaled only by its complex movement. Everything about its remarkable construction goes gorgeously with the skeletonized dial which features the same colors. From every Angle, the watch is aesthetically impressive and technically stunning. In designing the replica watch, Hublot created a true masterpiece.
This is one of the brand’s newest timepieces. Even if it might seem complicated at first glance, it has a quite simple look, an infusion of freshness, and numerous aesthetic elements that represent the popular Big Bang collection. The thing that is special about the Hublot Spirit of Big Bang watch is the fact that it is the first tonneau-shaped model the brand has produced. While history has shown us countless times that round watches are more popular and cater to consumers’ tastes and needs, this watch’s square shape has captured everyone’s attention and heart.
The bezel of the watch is also distinctively unique as it is adorned with six H-shaped titanium screws punctuating the adjacent recessed areas. The case of my replica Hublot Spirit of Big Bang King Gold is very similar to the one of the original watch. It has the same size, it is made of an alloy that has the same color and looks like the unique King Gold made by Hublot, the same bezel with 6 H-shaped silvery screws, the two push buttons on the right side, the stylish winding crown and the scratch-proof sapphire crystal. The only thing that is distinguished is the back. My imitation has a solid caseback whereas the original watch has a see-through back.
One of the most exciting and interesting aspects of this watch is its complex movement. The model comes with a Hublot patented automatic skeleton chronograph movement named HUB4700. This elegant mechanism is a self-winding movement that is based on the legendary Zenith El Primero movement designed in 1969.
The watch’s big and manly case comes with a similarly vintage-looking leather strap stitched on black rubber and joined to the case by two H-shaped titanium screws on each side. On the right side of the case, the timepiece has two black composite inserts over the two pushbuttons and an over-molded rubber screw-down crown in the middle adorned with the raised Hublot logo. On my knockoff, I don’t have the same brown crocodile leather strap as the original one. It has the brand’s markings and logos on both sides just as on the clasp. The pushbuttons and winding crown have the same appearance and are made from similar materials thus looking quite real.
I can’t say that this isn’t a good model of the Hublot Spirit of Big Bang King Gold. In most ways, it is a very accurate and beautiful watch, but it still has some differences that can’t be overlooked, especially on the dial. I mean, of course, the effect is really nice, feels so real, has the right size and it’s made of beautiful materials, but the fact that dialing isn’t exactly a huge disappointment, in the careful way anyone can tell the difference between a real replica of the watch.

Each Rolex is hand-assembled from the best materials. The process is very complicated, and each watch takes about a year. The result is a high-precision timer that, if properly maintained, will last a lifetime. In some cases, they can last several lifetimes, often becoming precious family heirlooms and valuable investments.
If you service your replica Rolex according to the company’s advice, you can expect your watch to last at least one lifetime. However, it should be noted that how you use your fake watch can also impact the amount of maintenance it will require. Tool replica watches like the Rolex Submariner are often subjected to harsher conditions and extreme environments due to the nature of their intended purposes, and a fake watch that sees regular diving use may require maintenance more frequently than a seldom-worn dres’ watch. If you don’t do anything to take care of your watch, you can expect it to run continuously for several years, providing uninterrupted performance until the movement runs out of lube and other parts start to suffer time damage. So what steps can you take to ensure that your Rolex is as durable as promised?
Rolex recommends that your watch be repaired about every 10 years, depending on the watch’s age and nature. Older watches require more frequent maintenance and may require replacement of some parts. In some cases, the watch will tell you when you need maintenance.
During service, the watchmaker will take the watch and movement completely apart and clean each component. They will then replace the lubricants, calibrate them as needed, and put the watch back together. Some of the original parts might be replaced too, so it’s important to keep that in mind if you wish to retain all of the original parts.
Between servicing, there are some steps that you can take to keep your Rolex in top shape. For starters, consider investing in a watch winder if your Rolex runs on a self-winding movement and it is a watch that you do not wear all that regularly.
It’s also crucial to remember to keep the crown completely screwed down anytime you are not adjusting the time or date on your Rolex – even when you are not wearing it. Regardless of whether it’s in a watch winder, a watch box, or a safe, it is necessary to keep the crown properly secured to prevent any dust or moisture from damaging the movement.
As with any mechanical investment, whether it’s a replica Rolex or a luxury car, it needs some maintenance because it wears out over time. If you do your part well, Rolex should maintain good working order for a lifetime of wear and tear. Rolex watches from the early company have been passed down through many generations and are still in working order. That says a lot about how long the current generation of Rolex watches will last. With improved technology and high-quality materials, a modern Rolex can last several lifetimes if properly maintained.
