Winter has firmly claimed its place in the DNA of Hublot as the Swiss watchmaker unveils its latest seasonal masterpieces from Nyon. While the brand has long celebrated summer as a vibrant tradition since 2017, the colder months now offer an equally compelling stage for horological innovation.
The launch of the Big Bang Unico Winter Sapphire and the Big Bang Unico Winter Titanium Ceramic turns up the energy even as temperatures drop. These new editions represent frozen elegance injected with a shot of adrenaline and capture the festive spirit of the season in a bold style.
The aesthetic is pure glacial chic.
The Sapphire edition is a masterclass in transparency limited to just 30 pieces worldwide and showcases the brand's pioneering mastery of sapphire crystal which offers an innovation you can see right through.
For those seeking a different kind of bold, the Titanium Ceramic edition is limited to 200 pieces and features a featherlight microblasted titanium case enhanced by a crisp white ceramic bezel. Both models are sized at a versatile 42 mm and are engineered to perform just as well as they look.
At the heart of these icy timepieces beats the UNICO manufacture self-winding chronograph movement which is protected by five patents. A delightful and subtle nod to the season is found on the reverse side where a uniquely designed snowflake-shaped oscillating weight spins visibly through the case-back. This mechanical force features a flyback chronograph and a silicon escapement that ensures your timekeeping is as precise as it is stylish.
Whether you are carving fresh powder in Zermatt or enjoying a fire-lit night in Aspen, these watches are designed to be the ultimate winter companion. Both models come equipped with Hublot’s ingenious One Click system and two interchangeable straps in white or ice-blue rubber-lined calfskin. This allows the wearer to switch effortlessly from slope mode to night mode in mere seconds.
Hublot is set to bring these winter vibes to iconic destinations including Courchevel and St. Moritz where the season is celebrated with exclusive previews and snow-drenched moments.
