Just in time to celebrate the warm weather, Hublot releases the Big Bang Unico Summer, a turquoise-blue colored timepiece inspired by “the deepest lagoons.” To achieve the uniform blue turquoise pastel shade of the Big Bang Unico Summer, Hublot used a special anodization process that also protects the 42mm case from scratches for increased longevity. The Hublot Unico Summer is 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 open-worked dial of the Hublot Unico Summer showcases gears, the chronograph column wheel, and the date disc. The chronograph 60-minute counter at 3 o’clock is visually balanced by the skeletonized sub-dial displaying the running seconds at 9 o’clock. Large turquoise hands and indices are filled with Super-LumiNova for enhanced readability in poor light conditions or underwater (the watch is water-resistant up to 100 meters). The Hublot movement, including its skeletonized rotor, is also visible through a sapphire window in the caseback, which is the only major part of the watch made of satin-brushed titanium rather than anodized aluminum. Hublot is producing only 200 pieces of its Big Bang Unico Summer which comes with two straps — one Velcro, and the other natural rubber, both of which match the turquoise hue of the case and dial details. The closures on each strap are also made of turquoise-colored anodized aluminum, with lacquered white Hublot logos.
