The Hublot Spirit of Big Bang Depeche Mode is a 2024 limited-edition watch created around Depeche Mode’s Memento Mori album and world tour. Hublot announced 100 pieces on 19 February 2024. Its defining features are a 42 mm black ceramic tonneau case, a skull-and-hourglass dial, and an automatic HUB1710_SD movement with a stated 50-hour power reserve.
What is the Hublot Spirit of Big Bang Depeche Mode?
It is a Hublot and Depeche Mode collaboration announced in Berlin on 19 February 2024. The design draws on Memento Mori, the band’s album and tour, and its theme of remembering the passage and fragility of time. Hublot’s announcement presents the skull and hourglass as the visual expression of that theme. Hublot’s announcement is the source for the model details below.
How many were made?
Hublot announced a limited edition of 100 pieces. The company’s announcement does not state a launch price, current price, or present-day availability, so those details should be confirmed with a seller rather than inferred from other Spirit of Big Bang models.

A dial built around the passage of time
Small black ceramic spheres sit within the skull-and-hourglass design. Hublot says they appear to move when the wearer moves their wrist, evoking time passing. Pyramid-shaped studs on the indices and bezel add texture to the otherwise black ceramic design.
What comes with the watch?
Each watch comes with two straps, both using Hublot’s patented One Click interchangeable system:
- A strap made from recycled materials and Velcro.
- A black rubber strap with a black titanium folding clasp.
The special box also includes a 10-inch Wagging Tongue vinyl single. Hublot describes the record as exclusive to this package and says it was made using green energy and recycled PVC; the announcement does not establish that the single is separately available.

What does the collaboration support?
Hublot says its partnership with Depeche Mode had raised more than USD $2.3 million for Teenage Cancer Trust and charity: water as of its February 2024 announcement. It also says the first round of 2023 funding by Depeche Mode and Hublot for Conservation Collective supported seven initiatives in seven countries addressing plastic pollution. These are Hublot’s reported partnership figures, not independently verified impact measurements.
Martin Gore described the album’s theme as a reason to raise awareness of environmental issues and support Conservation Collective. Hublot CEO Ricardo Guadalupe likewise connected the idea of time running out with the company’s work on environmental and charitable causes.
