Stephen Bear wearing Hublot
Hublot Big Bang Ceramic Black Magic 44mm Reference 301.CI.1770.RX
So far, our database has one confirmed sighting of the Hublot 301.CI.1770.RX in the wild on a celebrity wrist: Stephen Bear, the British reality television personality known for Ex on the Beach and Celebrity Big Brother. That single data point is actually quite telling. Bear has never been someone who gravitates toward understated choices, and the all-black ceramic Big Bang sits squarely in the category of watches that demand to be noticed. It is the kind of reference that tends to attract personalities from entertainment, sports, and street culture — people who want a watch that reads as a statement rather than a background accessory. Bear's affinity for the piece aligns with the broader profile of wearers this reference seems designed for.
The 301.CI.1770.RX occupies an interesting position in the pre-owned and grey market. At retail, the Big Bang ceramic models in this family have historically been priced in the mid-to-high thousands, and the full-ceramic execution — case, bracelet, and bezel insert all in black microblasted ceramic — commands a premium over stainless steel equivalents. On the secondary market, prices have shown resilience, with the reference regularly trading at or modestly above retail depending on condition and whether original box and papers are present. Availability through authorised dealers can be inconsistent, which keeps secondary market demand relatively steady for buyers who want the piece without a wait.
The 301.CI.1770.RX is a 44mm Big Bang built entirely from black microblasted ceramic, giving it an aggressive, monochromatic look that has proven durable in pop culture. Hublot's sustained presence in sports sponsorships and its associations with football and boxing have kept the Big Bang family in the public eye, helping references like this one maintain visibility even when worn by personalities outside traditional luxury watch circles.
