A new ceramic color makes an appearance at the heart of Big Bang Unico: a vibrant orange, the result of unique alchemy and impeccable resistance to bumps and scratches.
In the world of high-end watchmaking, creating a new ceramic color is no small feat. Behind the apparent simplicity lies a complex and meticulous process involving extensive research and development. Determining the correct additives, their proportions, type of firing, temperature and duration are just some of the crucial aspects to consider. And then there is the finish: satin or polished? What about resistance: to impact, to scratches, to pressure?
Every detail counts in creating a ceramic that meets the rigorous standards guaranteed by Hublot, the result of 100% in-house expertise and protected by patents. Hublot's new Big Bang Unico Orange Ceramic is the latest incarnation of this mastery. It is distinguished by its uniform and intense orange color, which characterizes every external component of the watch, giving it a lively and eye-catching aesthetic. The finish is of the highest standard, with a mirror polish that enhances the shape and design of each piece, despite the different shapes, thicknesses, and angles of the components. Hublot has also extended the same shade of orange to the subdials on the dial, the hands, and the integrated rubber strap, which features the patented "One-Click" system for quick, tool-free changes.
In a limited edition of only 250 pieces, the heart of this watch is the UNICO Chronograph Manufacture caliber, the latest generation of the automatic flyback chronograph movement developed by Hublot. With a power reserve of three days (72 hours), it retains the brand's distinctive aesthetic features, such as the column wheel at 6 o'clock and the bicompax layout. Housed in the iconic 42mm-diameter Big Bang case, the watch sports the famous titanium 'H' shaped screws on the bezel and lugs reminiscent of a naval porthole design, confirming Hublot's strong and recognizable identity in the watchmaking scene.
