Hublot - Big Bang Integral Ceramic

A signature material at Hublot, ceramic combines hardness and lightness (two to three times harder than steel but 30% lighter). Difficult to machine, this material offers scratch-resistance, durability and hypoallergenic properties. It is also soft to the touch and pleasant to wear thanks to its low thermal conductivity.

The new Big Bang Integral Ceramic models shares the monobloc architecture with an integrated bracelet on which the first link is fused with the case while differentiating for their colours: white, navy blue or grey.info: xtime-store

The watches are made entirely from ceramic except for the bezel lugs, which are in black, dark blue or grey composite, and the rubber elements on the crown and the pushers, for added user comfort.info: xtime-store

The dials are identical to the existing Big Bang 42 mm model with the only difference of the indices replacing the Arabic numerals.

Housed in a 42 mm x 13.45 mm case guaranteeing water resistance up to a pressure of 10 ATM (approximately 100 metres / 330 feet), the HUB1280 manufacture calibre is a modified version of its predecessor, the Unico HUB1242. info: xtime-store

Thanks to various technical optimizations, including the introduction of a new, flatter automatic winding system, this self-winding chronograph flyback movement with column wheel has been reduced by 1.3 mm in thickness. Beating at the frequency of 4 Hz (28,800 vibrations per hour), it offers a power reserve of 72 hours.

The three-link bracelet with titanium folding clasp alternates polished and satin-finished surfaces with bevelling and chamfering that create the same effect of depth and contrast that characterise the case and the bezel lug. info: xtime-store
