La Maison Monaco, an authorized Hublot dealer in Canada, offers more than 10 Spirit of Big Bang models from $22,100 to $141,000 CAD.

The Hublot Spirit of Big Bang is a Big Bang watch with a barrel-shaped (tonneau) case in place of the round one. Hublot launched it in 2014 and lists it as a sub-collection of the Big Bang. It applies the same fusion of materials as the round line, in titanium, ceramic, steel, King Gold and sapphire-crystal cases, on rubber straps. Hublot says its HUB1770 movement has a barrel shape to match this case. Most references are water resistant to 100 m (10 ATM); the Meca-10 Titanium and the Impact Sapphire are rated to 50 m.

Most Hublot Spirit of Big Bang models at La Maison Monaco are rated to 100 m (10 ATM), including the Titanium Coal Blue, the King Gold, the Impact All Black and the 32 mm steel.
