Hublot Spirit of Big Bang Chronograph Ceramic
Hublot unveils its first trio of vibrant hues, in the Spirit of Big Bang collection. New tones for a familiar form. Hublot introduces the Spirit of Big Bang Chronograph in three new ceramic colours, previously only available in the Big Bang line to mark 12 years of the exceptional collection.
Upon its launch in 2014, the Spirit of Big Bang took Hublot fans and watch-lovers by surprise, as it was the very first Hublot since the establishment of the brand decades earlier to feature a case that wasn’t round. And yet, the Spirit of Big Bang is inherently and unmistakably a Hublot. The barrel shape remains a porthole, a window into the future of watchmaking far beyond conventions.
For the first time in the collection, the cases and bezels are crafted in coloured ceramics that were previously only available in the round Big Bang shape: Sand Beige, Dark Green and Sky Blue, each limited to 200 pieces. Colourful, hypoallergenic, light, scratch-resistant and gender-neutral in their appeal, these three new models are a testament to Hublot’s unrivalled prowess when it comes to cutting-edge materials and developing ceramic for watches in unprecedented tones.
Visible through the open dials, the Spirit of Big Bang Chronograph models are powered by the Hublot automatic skeleton chronograph calibre HUB4700, which ia s modernized descendant of the historic and highly prized El Primero, considered the first Swiss high-frequency integrated chronograph calibre ever made. Visible from both the open dial and sapphire display back, the movement hosts several technical innovations and advancements compared to the original from 1969, including a low-friction silicon escape wheel.
Matching each of the three coloured ceramic cases in this new trio of Spirit of Big Bang Chronograph watches, the dials feature hour markers, chronograph counters and hands in a matching tone. The rubber straps, made of black rubber with a coloured central inlay, are also perfectly coordinated with the coloured ceramic cases.
The Spirit of Big Bang Chronograph in Sand Beige, Dark Green and Sky Blue ceramic are limited to 200 pieces each and available at Hublot boutiques and authorized retailers around the world.
