Hublot Big Bang Unico Sky Blue 42mm Release Info

Dec 22, 2023

Known for its patented colored ceramic cases, Hublot has unveiled a new Big Bang Unico timepiece dressed in powdery blue from the case to strap, complete with an aptly named colorway: Sky Blue.

Boasting satin and polished finishes, the light blue ceramic is used all across the case, caseback, and bezel, with smaller details accentuated in white to evoke a sky-like mood. Hublot's high-tech colored ceramic underwent unique processes to achieve its colors, while also being hypoallergenic, and able to adapt to skin temperature. The time-teller comes with a tonal light blue and white-lined rubber strap as its primary option, meanwhile, an additional strap made of white calfskin with Velcro straps is also offered.

The newly iterated Big Bang Unico arrives in a 42mm ceramic case, where an exposed HUB1280 self-winding chronograph movement can be clearly observed from the watch face. Echoing the metallic hues of the dial, Hublot's signature metal screws are implemented on the bezel and integrated lugs for a pleasing yet juxtaposed look against the blue. And like most chronographs, the calibre beats at the usual rate of 28,800 vibrations per hour, runs for up to 72 hours with an added 10 ATM water resistance.

Retailing for $23,800 USD, the Big Bang Unico Sky Blue is released in a limited run of 200 pieces and is currently available for inquiry via Hublot's official website.
