Only a few brands rely on color and material innovations like Hublot. Since the Big Bang in 2005, every fusion imaginable has been explored, from sapphire, ceramics and carbon to precious metals, often paired with interesting hues. Think of the vibrant Big Bang Tourbillon Automatic Green SAXEM, ice-cold sapphire crystal or titanium with cool white ceramic of the Big Bang Unico Winter Editions, the eye-catching Spirit of Big Bang Orange Ceramic or the Big Bang Unico Mint Green and Petrol Ceramic; All of these are just some of the releases in 2025. In fact, color has long become a Hublot trademark. Now the brand is introducing a new color: Coal Blue. The new tone is described as a fusion of grey, black and blue and shows mineral reflections under the light.
The new Coal Blue series includes four references from the Big Bang and Spirit of Big Bang lines: two titanium chronographs, the Big Bang Original Unico 43 mm and the Spirit of Big Bang 42 mm, as well as two diamond-set steel models, the Big Bang One Click 33 mm and the Spirit of Big Bang 32 mm, each dressed in this cool, modern hue.
Big Bang Original Unico Titanium Coal Blue
As the heart of the new series, the Big Bang Original Unico Coal Blue combines the technical design of the Unico with the well-known shape of the Big Bang Original. The 43mm titanium case combines polished and satin-finished surfaces and is further enhanced by the new carbon-effect dial in Coal Blue, an embossed geometric pattern inspired by the texture of carbon fiber. The two-register layout with the larger chronograph minutes subdial also features a date window at 4:30 and a mix of Arabic numerals and baton indices. The indices, hour and minute hands are treated with Super-LumiNova. The in-house flyback chronograph movement Unico HUB1280 with a power reserve of 72 hours is visible through the sapphire crystal caseback. Continuing the tonal harmony, the textured coal blue rubber strap fastens with a titanium folding clasp.
