The story behind this Hublot Big Bang Unico
The House of Hublot has redefined the codes of sports watchmaking by imposing its concept of fusing materials. Conceived in the Nyon workshops, the Big Bang line is the brand's flagship. With the reference 411.NX.1170.RX, the Manufacture took a decisive step forward by integrating its own chronograph calibre. The aim was to move away from outsourced movements and offer a totally new mechanical architecture. The stroke of genius of this creation lies in a bold design choice: the mythical column wheel, traditionally hidden on the back of the watch, has been plucked from the depths of the movement to be proudly placed centre stage at 6 o'clock. A true declaration of independence that allows the wearer to admire the engagement of this precision mechanism right on the wrist.
Case, calibre and bracelet of this Big Bang Unico
This sculptural piece makes its mark with a 45 mm case fashioned from grade 5 titanium. This technical metal, renowned for its outstanding strength and lightness ratio, alternates deep brushing and polished chamfers with perfect brilliance. The skeleton dial offers a dizzying plunge into the bowels of the HUB1242 calibre. This 330-component self-winding movement beats at a frequency of 4 Hz and delivers an impressive 72-hour power reserve. It powers a fearsome flyback chronograph, protected by a sapphire crystal with anti-reflective treatment to ensure absolute legibility. This block of engineering, water-resistant to 100 metres, is securely fastened to a structured black rubber strap equipped with the patented One-Click system and secured by a titanium folding clasp.
Why this Hublot watch
This model embodies the purest expression of uninhibited high mechanics. The raw titanium combined with the rubber is reminiscent of the highly engineered racing engines found in the paddocks of the greatest motor racing circuits. This is a timepiece designed for technical enthusiasts looking for a powerful, aggressive aesthetic without sacrificing comfort when worn. The light perfectly catches the brushing of the titanium and the matt depths of the movement, an architectural detail that will delight the discerning eye of a photographer or a lover of fine industrial objects.
