It's summer all year round here in Southeast Asia, and the two fashion trends of color-blocking as well as purple fever have hit Hublot! Introducing the new Big Bang Unico Summer in Purple, an all new colour for the watch model.

The Hublot Big Bang Unico Summer Purple sports a 42 mm case, cut from aluminium, modern and lightweight. It has been anodised satin-finished and polished with purple all over. This colour has been made possible using a process which guarantees impeccable durability and offers remarkable protection from scratches and impacts.

Driving the timepiece is the HUB1280 manufacture calibre, with the column wheel of its chronograph movement seen through the dial. The hands and indices of the watch are in the same shade of purple, enhanced with touches of luminescent white.

There are two strap options in matching colours. The first is a Velcro strap with matching stitching which is closed with a sports clasp. The second adopts the brand's signature natural rubber. Both feature the One-Click system, an interchangeable clasp system patented by Hublot.

The Big Bang Unico Summer Purple watch will be available in a limited edition of 200 pieces, available on Hublot's e-Boutique online and in the brand's 125 boutiques around the world.
