The story behind this Hublot Big Bang Ferrari
Hublot has entered into a technical partnership with the Maranello-based manufacturer to design a chronograph geared towards motor racing. The launch of this model, reference 401.NX.0123.VR, marks a shift in the approach to watchmaking collaborations. Rather than simply adding a logo to an existing dial, the designers have reimagined the case architecture to incorporate the hallmarks of precision engineering. The pushers feature an elongated shape reminiscent of a sports car’s pedals, whilst the oscillating weight is machined to replicate the alloy wheel rim of the Ferrari 458 Italia. This model meets the expectations of industrial design enthusiasts seeking a watch with a coherent technical design.
Case, movement and strap of this Big Bang Ferrari
The 45 mm case is crafted from titanium and features alternating brushed and polished finishes to emphasise its angular lines. The transparent sapphire crystal dial offers a direct view of the movement and features a metal appliqué of the prancing horse positioned at 9 o’clock. The brushed titanium bezel is secured by six H-shaped countersunk screws. The open caseback reveals the self-winding HUB1241 calibre. This flyback chronograph movement comprises 330 components and delivers a power reserve of 72 hours. Its column wheel is visible on the front at 6 o’clock. The watch is water-resistant to 100 metres. The strap combines a black rubber base with a textured leather overlay and fastens with a titanium folding clasp.
Why this Hublot watch
Limited to 1,000 pieces, this numbered edition is aimed at enthusiasts of unconventional technical chronographs. The second-hand market offers a viable alternative for acquiring this titanium timepiece, which is currently unavailable through traditional retail channels. The lightweight alloy ensures a balanced and comfortable fit despite a 45 mm diameter. The transparency of the dial and the depth of the display add real aesthetic value, allowing the wearer to observe the movement in action.
