Hublot Oceanographic Carbon 4000 vs 1000
May 02, 2014,08:29 AM
By request of a fellow Purist, I visited the Hublot boutique and compared those two side-by-side. Thank you, sschew, for your request (he actually requested the close-up pics of 1000 carbon, but I dare compared 1000 and 4000)!
Side-by-side:
Left: 1000 Carbon - 732.QX.1140.RX
Right: 4000 Carbon - 731.QX.1140.RX
Both 48mm case, while 1000 has Chronograph and 4000 doesn't.
First, Oceanographic 1000 Carbon
Inner bezel rotator with the protector open.
Closed
I like the blue/ yellow dial - a good accent.
Now the comparison with 4000 - 4000 is much thicker.
A bit too thick on shore
And again, here is 1000 - thick, but not that bad. Could wear on shore day-off.
A bit big, but could wear on shore-leave
Hope you like it. I do prefer 1000, like you do.
Have a great weekend!
Ken

Great watches

But only to wear over a wetsuit. And was the massive size and thickness necessary? With the pushers I suspect this watch is bordering 60mm. A small company like Pita Barcelona proved that serious dive watches do not need to be that big with their 43 mm Oc...
"Necessary"....?

... Sure, it doesn't need to. But many brands make watches today needlessly big, don't they? It's fashion and trend.... people ask for the big ones - "necessary" doesn't matter. This is hobby. Hobby has little to do with "necessary". Besides, no one would...
Nice comparison Ken

I have had them both on but not side by side. I didnt realise the 4,000 was so much thicker. Cheers Andrew
Thanks, Andrew!

It was just fun. 4000 dial is so much simpler, and 1000 gas chronograph.... I was not paying much attention on it either. Thanks! Ken
Thank You so much KIH
