Limited edition model with a unique sky blue pattern Japan impressive
Big Bang Unico Carbon Sky Blue

The Big Bang Unico Carbon Sky Blue is a limited edition Japan Hublot’s innovative creations. The eye-catching case and bezel are made of matte sky blue carbon, which is a sky blue composite of carbon fiber. This is a special process in which a nonwoven fabric formed of microfiber is permeated with carbon fiber using epoxy resin to produce a prototype of the case.

Moreover, since there are individual differences in the patterns that appear on the cases that look like natural products, the same pattern does not appear, and each one looks different, and each can be enjoyed as a one-of-a-kind timepiece. An important element in building this unique design is the dial. The indexes, hour and minute hands, and even the indials are all unified in black, emphasizing the vivid sky blue color. It is equipped with the Unico chronograph movement, developed and manufactured in-house with a power reserve of about 72 hours and flyback functions, and has an avant-garde design that ensures practicality.

The two-body center case, which is composed of sharp straight lines, is finished by using mirrors and hairlines for each surface in order to emphasize the three-dimensional beauty. In addition, the see-through movement that allows you to feel the heartbeat from the back pig is equipped with second-class antimagnetism, and can maintain its performance in most cases even when it is brought close to a device that generates a magnetic field.
