Hublot has launched its seasonal summer releases, following last year’s Big Bang Unico Summer 2025, which came in vibrant orange and radiant sky blue. This year, the brand goes pastel with new Big Bang Summer Editions, including the manufacture Unico Flyback Chronograph in 42 mm and the manufacture Automatic Tourbillon in 44 mm, limited to 200 and 10 pieces, respectively. Also joining the launch are time-only Big Bang models in 33 mm and 42 mm, presented in new vibrant ceramic hues inspired by the season.
Big Bangs are provocative by nature, and Hublot’s not afraid to mess around with ceramic colours. Hublot ain’t afraid of nothin’. Many have been summery and look made for the likes of, say, an Ibiza beach party. But the 2025 model genuinely hits different. Mixing blue, orange and white ceramic, key to its appeal was the material’s bead-blasted (“microblasted”) matte finish (with polished chamfers). A single, focused release in the form of a 42mm Big Bang Unico Chronograph, the colours themselves were unexpected but compelling, and we feel confident saying that its appeal went beyond the brand’s typical audience.
This year it’s a similar strategy. In some ways these models feel like Hublot showing off its mastery of ceramic colours, the precision and consistency of which (beyond plain black and white) has long been a significant challenge for watchmakers, but there’s been great progress in recent years. Will the pastel hues be as captivating as last year's? In brand images, they’ve got a potentially feminine vibe, but we’ll be seeing them in person soon to bring you some hands-on photos. We’re also rather looking forward to the Titanium-Peach Unico.
Again, Hublot has long made eye-catching watches for summer or beachy destinations. If, however, the Summer Multi-Coloured Ceramic formula established last year becomes something like a platform for annual editions, it'd be something we end up anticipating each year.
The pastel ceramic 42mm Unico Flyback Chronograph is limited to 200 examples at a price of Rs. 32,47,000 (approx.) while the automatic tourbillon model is 1,12,65,000 (approx.) and limited to only ten. Titanium-Peach is 22,72,000 (approx.) and not a limited edition, while the 33mm Big Bang Automatics are 14,67,000 (approx.) each.
