Ricardo Guadalupe, CEO of Hublot, expressed his enthusiasm about the partnership: “Building on the success of our previous launches, we are proud to continue to work with the Watches of Switzerland Group on a collaboration that unites watchmaking excellence and innovative materials. We celebrate our iconic Big Bang All Black Green and materials we have respectively mastered in our manufacture.”

This special edition watch pays homage to the iconic Hublot Big Bang collection, a range celebrated for pushing the boundaries of watch design. This collaboration between Hublot and the Watches of Switzerland Group builds on their shared history of creating exclusive timepieces. The Hublot Big Bang Unico All Black Green is a visual symphony of artistry and technology. With a striking 42mm dial, it marries a micro-blasted black ceramic case with a polished green ceramic bezel, creating a harmonious contrast. The dial is skeletonized, offering a captivating view of the watch’s intricate inner workings.

At the heart of the Hublot Big Bang Unico All Black Green lies the Unico HUB1280 self-winding flyback chronograph movement, designed and crafted in-house by Hublot. This movement offers a glimpse into its soul with a double coupling system and column wheel visible from the dial side. With a substantial 72-hour power reserve, this watch is as reliable as it is stunning.

Hublot introduced the ‘All Black’ concept in 2006, and it has since become an emblematic style in the world of luxury watchmaking. The essence of ‘All Black’ lies in its exclusive use of innovative high-tech materials, such as black ceramic, which not only gives the watch a sleek appearance but also enhances its durability and lightweight construction. This concept represents a fusion of craftsmanship and innovation that transcends traditional horology and embraces contemporary design.
