Presented at Watches and Wonders Geneva 2026, the new Hublot Big Bang Reloaded collection marks a further evolution of the openworked Big Bang Unico, with a stronger emphasis on the visibility of its manufacture chronograph movement and a renewed focus on materials.
At the centre of the collection is the HUB 1280 Unico calibre, a fully integrated self-winding flyback chronograph operating at 4 Hz (28,800 vibrations per hour) and offering a power reserve of approximately 72 hours.
Comprising 354 components and 43 jewels, it incorporates a series of patented solutions, including a backlash-compensating oscillating clutch and an anti-shaking system for the chronograph seconds hand.
In this latest iteration, the movement is more exposed, with the column wheel highlighted at 6 o’clock and the dual clutch at 8 o’clock, while the chronograph counter at 3 o’clock has been redesigned and the date repositioned between 4 and 5 o’clock.
The openworked rotor, visible through the sapphire caseback, features a cut-out “H” motif.
All models share the same 44 mm case architecture, with a thickness of 14.5 mm and water resistance to 100 metres.
The case construction has been refined with a two-part bezel that enhances contrasts between materials and finishes, while the multilayer dial adds depth and reinforces the technical character of the watch.
Each version is delivered with two interchangeable straps – a fabric-textured rubber strap and a classic structured rubber strap – both fitted with a deployant clasp and compatible with the One Click system.
The Big Bang Reloaded Titanium Ceramic (ref. 421.NM.1123.NR.RLD) combines a satin-finished and polished titanium case with a black ceramic caseback and upper bezel.
The skeleton dial features grey tones that highlight the architecture of the movement, while the oscillating weight in tungsten is finished in black plating.
This version emphasises lightness and contrast, in line with Hublot’s use of technical materials.
The Big Bang Reloaded All Black (ref. 421.CX.1140.NR.RLD) revisits the monochromatic concept first introduced by Hublot in 2006.
Crafted entirely in black ceramic with black-plated elements, it features a skeleton dial treated in matching tones, reducing legibility in favour of a uniform aesthetic.
The case and bezel combine polished and satin finishes, reinforcing the visual depth despite the absence of colour contrast.
The Big Bang Reloaded Blue Ceramic (ref. 421.EX.5129.NR.RLD) showcases the brand’s expertise in coloured ceramics.
The case is executed in satin-finished and polished blue ceramic, paired with a titanium bezel and matching blue accents on the strap.
The grey-toned skeleton dial maintains legibility while allowing the movement components to remain clearly visible, with an anthracite-treated rotor visible through the caseback.
The Big Bang Reloaded Dark Green Ceramic (ref. 421.GM.1149.NR.RLD) offers a more subdued interpretation, with a dark green ceramic case combined with black-plated titanium elements.
The skeleton dial is finished in black tones, maintaining coherence with the overall colour scheme, while the green accents on the strap provide a subtle contrast.
As with the other ceramic versions, the material offers enhanced hardness compared to traditional ceramic.
The Big Bang Reloaded Magic Gold (ref. 421.MX.1133.NR.RLD) highlights one of Hublot’s most distinctive proprietary materials.
The case and upper bezel are crafted in 18K Magic Gold, an alloy developed to provide exceptional scratch resistance while retaining the characteristics of gold.
Its slightly bronzed tone contrasts with the black-plated titanium elements and the openworked dial, reinforcing the technical and aesthetic identity of the model.
The Big Bang Reloaded collection is priced according to material. The Titanium Ceramic version is offered at €23,500 / US$24,000 / CHF 19,900. The All Black, Blue Ceramic and Dark Green Ceramic models are each priced at €24,700 / US$25,200 / CHF 20,900. The Magic Gold version is positioned at €43,600 / US$44,500 / CHF 36,900. hublot.com
