The Hublot Big Bang Original Unico Titanium Coal Blue captures the Big Bang’s unmistakable spirit through a cooler, more refined lens. Rendered entirely in satin-finished and polished titanium, the 43mm case feels lightweight yet assertive, preserving the architectural sharpness that has defined the collection since its debut. What truly elevates this reference, however, is the Coal Blue execution — a deep, industrial shade that shifts subtly under changing light, giving the watch a more nuanced and contemporary character. The stamped satin-finished “carbon effect” dial adds texture and dimensionality without distracting from the open-worked chronograph layout, while the matching structured rubber strap creates a seamless monochromatic flow across the wrist. Beneath the design-forward exterior sits Hublot’s in-house HUB1280 UNICO flyback chronograph movement, delivering a robust 72-hour power reserve and the kind of mechanical substance expected from the manufacture’s flagship chronograph platform.

About the Hublot Big Bang Collection
Since their advent, Hublot have released avant-garde watches that redefined perceptions in the horological world, much like the Big Bang collection released in 2005. The Hublot Big Bang collection is, in all its essence, a true representation of the brand's bold identity and has emerged as their flagship line. Since its launch, it has seen collaborations with brands and personalities such as Ferrari, DJ Snake, Samuel Ross, FIFA, and Depeche Mode.
Design And Features
The design language of the Hublot Big Bang collection is characterised by its bold, aggressive aesthetic, defined by a large, multi-layered case structure, bezel with signature exposed screws, and a fusion of materials, a brand hallmark. The collection's striking use of contrasting textures and finishes, along with oversized numerals and hands, creates a visually powerful and modern look. This innovative approach to combining materials and the watch's robust, sporty appearance has become a distinctive feature of the Big Bang collection.
Noteworthy Series
Big Bang collection encompasses a wide variety of watches, from minimalist and understated ones to those rich with complications and avant-garde aesthetics. The latter category includes the popular Big Bang UNICO, which marked the brand's first in-house movement, Meca-10, and the Complication series. While the Meca-10 introduced a 10-day power reserve with its distinct skeletonised design, the Big Bang Complications series houses an array of colourful and highly complex timepieces.
More sophisticated Big Bang watches come from the modest 3-Hand and Original series. They offer a streamlined, elegant take on the Big Bang's robust aesthetic, focusing on simplicity without compromising on the signature fusion of materials. Hublot never shy away from experimentation. Therefore, watches with a cool and contemporary digital face can be found under the Connected Series. These remarkable timepieces blend analogue and digital watchmaking in the signature Big Bang style.
ABOUT THE MOVEMENT
Inside the new Big Bang UNICO timepieces and some Shaped Square Bang watches reside the remarkable manufacture movement HUB 1280. This iteration is thinner and more precise than its predecessors, featuring a refined winding system that operates with increased gentleness and reduced noise. Additionally, a newly developed clutch mechanism ensures that the chronograph begins seamlessly without any jolting or trembling. Notably, this movement exhibits enhanced resilience against shocks and impressively maintains a power reserve of 72 hours.
