Hublot Oceanographic 4000

Posted 11 months, 2 weeks ago


We were among the first to introduce the Hublot’s new diver’s watch, OCEANOGRAPHIC 4000. The watch is now officially unveiled, in association with the Oceanographic Museum of Monaco!

The new Hublot diver’s watch is a truly unique piece, able to withstand the pressure exerted at a depth of 4,000 meters. It took more than 18 months of research development and testing to push the limits of all possibilities and create such an extraordinary watch.

This sturdy diver’s watch is fitted with the synthetic sapphire crystal that is 6.5 thick. The case back is screw-down and crafted in titanium, a strong, lustrous, and corrosion-resistant material. Cases are available in two variations: titanium or carbon fiber, both extremely light and durable.




Hublot Oceanographic 4000 is generously coated in toxic green SuperLuminova, allowing for the accurate and easy time-telling even at the ocean depths. The dial, the flange and the hands are legible from the distance of 25 cm in the dark. As any true diver’s watch, Oceanographic 4000 uses an internal unidirectional rack-driven rotating flange with a dive time indicator. The minute scale has clearly highlighted five-minute periods. This allows for the safest possible reading method and minimizes the risk of unintentionally changing the dive time.



To ensure perfect water resistance, the watch is equipped with two screw-down crowns. The flange crown, used to set the diving time, is protected with a guard for some extra safety and easy operation. The watch also has a helium valve that allows gases that have get into the watch during the descent to safely break out during the ascent. The valve is made of stainless steel and positioned at 10 o’clock.

Oceanographic 4000 comes with two tongue and buckle straps: Town and Diver strap. The Town strap is made of black rubber while the Diver strap features a mix of rubber and nylon. The Diver strap is especially designed to be worn over an 8mm thick diver’s suit.



This is a limited edition available in 1000 numbered pieces in titanium and 5000 numbered pieces for the All Black version in black carbon fiber. The titanium version is priced at $19,900 and the carbon fiber version is priced at $25,900.
