Summertime Blue: Hublot Big Bang Unico Summer Shines in Turquoise Aluminum Case
Since its founding, and particularly in recent years, Hublot has been on the cutting edge of both unusual colorways and avant-garde materials. Now, inspired by the promise of a vibrant, post-Covid-19 summer, the Nyon-based manufacture remains true to this calling card with the Big Bang Unico Summer, a festive, monochromatic timepiece featuring a turquoise-blue case made of anodized aluminum.
The anodization process used to apply the lagoon-inspired, pastel color to the 42-mm case (considered a “unisex” size by Hublot) imparts it exceptional, long-lasting resistance to scratches and impacts; its combination of polished and satin finishes ensure that it shimmers appealingly in the sunlit and often tropical conditions that its design is intended to evoke. Made of aluminum, it’s also extremely light on the wrist, and features the familiar Big Bang Unico elements, including the bezel with six H-shaped screws, the fluted. screwed crown with “H” engraving, and ergonomic buttons to operate the watch’s chronograph function.
The skeletonized dial, with turquoise-blue details including the hands, subdials, hour numerals and minute track, offers a view of Hublot’s self-winding Unico Caliber HUB1280. The in-house movement’s noteworthy attributes include a 72-hour power reserve, a 4-Hz frequency, an oscillating seconds clutch, a chronograph friction system with ball-bearing adjustment and a column wheel that’s on display...
