Hublot Big Bang Unico Mint Green and Petrol Ceramic

Turning twenty this year, Hublot‘s Big Bang exploded on the watch scene with its bold fusion of state-of-the-materials and extroverted design. Hublot’s first in-house flyback chronograph movement, the Unico, materialised in 2010 and was deployed inside the specially designed Big Bang Unico, with its mechanism visible on the dial. As a brand that has played with materials since day one, the Big Bang Unico has appeared in various materials and wildly colourful ceramic cases. For 2025, Hublot proposes Mint Green and Petrol Blue ceramic colours for its 42mm Big Bang Unico.

Hublot has no qualms when it comes to using unconventional materials, like the recycled Nespresso capsules or the tennis racquets and Lacoste shirts fused to create a featherlight Big Bang Unico in honour of Novak Djokovic. While ceramic cases are prevalent in the watch world, Hublot began experimenting with ceramic bezels in 2005 and produced a startling red ceramic case in 2019, followed by a yellow one in 2021, colours rarely seen in this material due to the difficulty of producing a uniform tone.

Introduced five years after the Big Bang, the Big Bang Unico features rounded pushers, a skeletonised dial to view the in-house chronograph movement and a handy One-Click strap change system. Like other Big Bang Unico models, the new Mint Green and Petrol Blue ceramic models come in 42mm cases with a thickness of 14.5mm and 100m water-resistance. They feature the signature sandwich construction with protective lateral bumpers and a round bezel with 6 H-shaped titanium screws.

The resilient, scratch-resistant ceramic cases are polished, and the dials feature matching coloured elements – minutes/seconds flange, 60-minute elapsed times counter at 3 o’clock and small seconds at 9 o’clock, hands and indices. The openworked dials offer a partial view of the mechanics, including the column wheel in an aperture at 6 o’clock and the exposed date wheel. The date window is featured in the chronograph register, and the hands, Arabic numerals and indices suspended over the movement are filled with Super-LumiNova. The central chronograph seconds have a Hublot logo-shaped counterweight and a skeletonised oblong tip.

The curved ergonomic caseback reveals Hublot’s HUB1280 Unico manufacture automatic integrated flyback chronograph calibre with a column wheel. With a frequency of 28,800vph, the 354-part movement delivers a robust 72-hour power reserve. Fitted with minty green or blue rubber straps with a titanium deployant clasp, these Big Bang Unicos retail for CHF 21,900 / EUR 25,000 / USD 24,100 / GBP 20,700.
