First Use of Frost Carbon Fiber for a Rock-Like Texture


More than a decade after its launch, the Big Bang, now a flagship model for HUBLOT, welcomes a limited-edition model designed for the full enjoyment of winter.

What's particularly noteworthy is the material. For the first time in a HUBLOT watch, frosted carbon fiber, designed to evoke the rock-like texture of granite found widely across the Alps, is used for the case. Combined with a soft, warm "teddy cuff in sheep wool," this creates a truly unique timepiece.



The strap features an easy-to-exchange "One Click" system, and in addition to the teddy cuff and sheep wool combination, two additional straps are included: one in ice-blue sheepskin and another in calfskin.

They can be easily swapped to suit your mood or the occasion.

The men's model, the Big Bang Unico Alps Frosted Carbon, features the in-house Unico chronograph movement.

The women's model, the Big Bang One Click Alps Frosted Carbon Diamonds, showcases a frosted carbon fiber case and bezel set with 42 sparkling diamonds totaling approximately 1.00 ct.
