A new mineral shade to enhance Hublot's vibrant spectrum.

Since its inception in 2005, the original Big Bang has investigated a myriad of fusions, encompassing sapphire, ceramic, carbon, and precious metals, frequently combined with captivating chromatic hues. Consider the striking Big Bang Tourbillon Automatic Green SAXEM, the frigid sapphire or titanium paired with cool white ceramic of the Big Bang Unico Winter Editions, the attention-grabbing Spirit of Big Bang Orange Ceramic, or the Big Bang Unico Mint Green and Petrol Ceramic; these represent merely a few of the 2025 arrivals. Indeed, colour has long been one of Hublot's hallmarks. The brand has introduced a new hue, Coal Blue. The new hue is characterised as a blend of grey, black, and blue, exhibiting mineral reflections when illuminated.
The new Coal Blue series comprises four models from the Big Bang and Spirit of Big Bang collections: two titanium chronographs, the Big Bang Original Unico 43mm and Spirit of Big Bang 42mm, alongside two diamond-adorned steel variants, the Big Bang One Click 33mm and Spirit of Big Bang 32mm, each featuring this modern, sophisticated colour.

The two-register configuration features a prominent subdial for chronograph minutes, includes a date window at 4:30, and utilises a combination of Arabic numerals and baton indices. The indices, hour hand, and minute hand are coated with Super-LumiNova. The Unico HUB1280 in-house flyback chronograph movement, featuring a 72-hour power reserve, is observable via the sapphire crystal caseback. The Coal Blue rubber strap maintains tonal consistency and is secured with a titanium deployant clasp.
