Review Hublot Big Bang Unico Titanium Ceramic

Hublot Big Bang Unico Titanium Ceramic is a huge and non-conformist watch. This is no surprise as Hublot was built on being different. Part of their success is the fact that they create big watches. The Unico with its 45mm is a prime example of this. It has a thickness of 15mm. Despite the titanium, it still is a relatively heavy watch. The black satin ceramic bezel with its 6 titanium screws gives it the porthole look. Interesting to notice is the sandwich-like case construction. The pushers, as well as the crown bearing the same “H”. The crown has a black rubber coating. Find best discount replica watches, Hublot Big Bang clone watches at Watchbuyoff.ru.

The dial is pretty busy at first. But you will get used to it very quickly. Basically it has two sub dials; the 60-minute chronograph at 3 o’clock and the continuous seconds at 9 o ‘clock. The date is hidden in the 3 o’clock sub dial. Since the design of the dial is skeleton-like, the entire date wheel is visible all around under the numbers and indexes. The main color of the dial is matte black with a rhodium plated upper layer. The indexes are satin finished and filled with luminescent. A mix of numbers and indexes were used. 6-8-10 and 12 are visible while 2 and 4 are cut-in by the sub dials. The rest of the hours are marked by indices.

Hublot Big Bang Unico Titanium Ceramic has a display back to demonstrate the Unico movement. Just like the bezel, the case back is also fixed with 6 screws to the case. Hublot stays quite low-key with the inscriptions in the caseback. Even the water resistance indication is missing, which is 100m by the way. The movement visible from both sides is the caliber HUB1242. This is, as Hublot calls it, a UNICO Manufacture A 38-jewel, automatic column-wheel chronograph movement with flyback function. The movement consists of 330 parts. The power reserve of the Hublot Big Bang Unico Titanium Ceramic is a comfortable 72 hours.

In 2005 the combination of steel, ceramic and rubber was novel, but in the subsequent decade the rest of the industry has caught up with Hublot’s trend-setting ways. Still, the 44mm case holds up well, and is a pleasure to wear. Big Bang demonstrates a stylistic fusion too; the traditional tropes of luxury sports watch design are partnered with a far more industrial aesthetic – heavy knurling on the bezel edge and exposed screws (the proprietary H-shaped bit is a nice touch) really works.

The dial is supremely legible – with broad luminova-filled hands, big rhodium-plated indices and unobtrusive printed subdials. I really loved the numerals and indices; they pick up on the industrial sensibilities that run through the watch. Each applied marker is cut-through with a machined groove, but while the groove itself is polished, the rest of the marker is brushed. It’s a small detail, but one that many lesser brands would overlook.

Big Bang would have been powered by a modified Valjoux 7750. These days it’s rocking the Calibre 4100, which is a high-grade ETA 2894-2 base with a chronograph module on top. This movement is a proven performer, and there’s no real issue with brands using outside movements. Find best discount replica watches, Hublot Big Bang clone watches at Watchbuyoff.ru.

The new Hublot Big Bang Ferrari Unico Watches

Differences between the new Hublot Big Bang Ferrari Unico King Gold and the original version (below) include a new, notched bezel; a more dashboard-inspired chronograph subdial; and differently shaped hands and angled hour numerals.

The hands have been redesigned for improved legibility and the applied hour numerals are positioned at angles, in line with the hour indices, rather than horizontally, as on the originals. The dial’s “3-D look,” as Hublot describes it, is enhanced by the appearance of the numerals floating above the dial. Ferrari’s iconic rearing horse logo has been moved from the 9 o’clock subdial — which is now in the shape of an air extractor — to a more discreet position at 6 o’clock. At 3 o’clock, the minutes-counter subdial has been redesigned to resemble a car’s tachymeter, while the date window now is styled to look like a Ferrari’s speed dial.

The new Big Bang Ferrari models are powered by Hublot’s in-house Unico movement, with automatic winding and an integrated column-wheel chronograph with flyback function. The column wheel is visible on the dial side, and the winding rotor evokes the star-spoke shape of Ferrari wheel rims. Visible from the front and back, the movement’s mainplate, bridges, and rotor are coated with black PVD. The Unico movement stores a power reserve of 72 hours.

The high-end Hublot Sapphire-Encased Mechanical Watch

Hublot Big Bang Unico Sapphire is not the first high-end mechanical watch to be encased in transparent, scratch-resistant sapphire and with a sizable production run of 500 pieces, it is the first accessible model. More Hublot Big Bang replica watches.

Hublot recently acquired the equipment for machining and polishing the tough but brittle material—a process eased by the new model’s sandwich construction. Complex structures inside the case, such as the hands and dial, are cast from transparent resin. According to Guadalupe, this limits the amount of sapphire machining and polishing required for each case, which accounts for most of the cost savings.

Other brands make sapphire watches on almost an individual basis, an approach Hublot itself took when creating the $575,000 MP-05 LaFerrari Sapphire watch it unveiled earlier this year.
