The Hublot Big Bang Unico Water Blue Sapphire is an extraordinary expression of Hublot’s innovation in materials and contemporary watchmaking. Crafted entirely from polished water-blue sapphire crystal, the 44mm case and bezel create a mesmerizing transparent effect that reveals the intricate mechanics within while producing a vivid ocean-inspired glow. This highly exclusive model is limited to just 50 pieces worldwide, making it a rare collector’s masterpiece.
At the heart of the watch is Hublot’s in-house HUB1280 UNICO automatic flyback chronograph movement, a sophisticated self-winding caliber featuring a column wheel mechanism visible from the dial side. The skeletonized “open-heart” architecture highlights the technical beauty of the movement, while delivering exceptional performance with approximately 72 hours of power reserve. Engineered with 354 components, the movement reflects Hublot’s commitment to precision, reliability, and cutting-edge mechanical design.
The transparent skeleton dial enhances the futuristic aesthetic, allowing light to flow through the watch and emphasizing the depth of the movement. Complementing the case is a transparent water-blue lined rubber strap paired with a titanium deployant buckle clasp, ensuring comfort, durability, and a sporty luxury feel. Protected by anti-reflective sapphire crystal and water-resistant to 50 meters, the watch combines visual artistry with practical everyday functionality.
The Water Blue Sapphire edition further demonstrates Hublot’s expertise in creating colored synthetic sapphire — a technically challenging material requiring advanced chemical engineering and precise manufacturing processes. Its vibrant transparent appearance transforms the watch into a wearable sculpture, embodying the brand’s “Art of Fusion” philosophy through the combination of innovative materials, bold aesthetics, and haute horlogerie craftsmanship.
