Hublot at Watches & Wonders 2025: The Big Bang Turns 20 With a Future-Facing Legacy

This year at Watches & Wonders 2025, Hublot isn’t just marking time – it’s celebrating two decades of breaking every rule in traditional watchmaking. The brand’s iconic Big Bang collection turns 20, and Hublot is making sure the celebration is as bold, technical, and rebellious as the timepiece itself. Launched in 2005, the Big Bang didn’t just introduce a new watch—it defined a new era.

It took watchmaking out of the archives and into the now, fusing materials no one thought belonged together, flipping the script on how a watch should look and feel. Since then, the Big Bang has never stopped evolving, and the 20th-anniversary lineup is a masterclass in what Hublot does best: pushing the boundaries of innovation and identity.

Five Editions. Five Statements.

To mark the 20th anniversary of its most iconic collection, Hublot has created five limited-edition Big Bang models that fuse the original 2005 design with the modern Big Bang Unico. Each piece blends signature elements from both eras—bridging past, present, and future in one cohesive design.

All five feature a reworked case with the original layered construction, pinched lugs, and knurled bezel, along with engraved carbon-style dials and riveted Arabic numerals now filled with Super-LumiNova, nodding to both heritage and innovation.

Big Bang 20th Anniversary Titanium Ceramic & King Gold Ceramic

These two anniversary editions bring the Big Bang full circle, reuniting the past and the present in a pair of watches that reimagine the earliest Big Bangs through a modern lens. The Titanium Ceramic edition (500 pieces) and King Gold Ceramic (250 pieces) stay true to the original concept: fusing raw, sporty elements with precious metals and technical innovation.

Both feature the unmistakable Big Bang profile, with a newly refined 43mm case and the return of details like pinched lugs, a knurled bezel, and rubber-tipped pushers. The carbon-patterned dial—now more dimensional—carries iconic Arabic numerals filled with Super-LumiNova. Red accents highlight the chronograph functions, tying back to the original 2005 models.

Inside, the Unico automatic flyback chronograph movement offers modern-day performance with a 72-hour power reserve and a commemorative gold rotor. Hublot’s One Click strap system is integrated into the case, allowing quick swaps of the classic textured rubber strap.

These two models encapsulate Hublot’s “Art of Fusion”—blending rugged materials, technical precision, and unmistakable aesthetic codes. They are at once a throwback and a leap forward—true collectible pieces.

Big Bang 20th Anniversary Red Magic

Red ceramic is a signature Hublot innovation—one that pushed the industry’s technical limits and aesthetic expectations. With the Big Bang 20th Anniversary Red Magic, Hublot pays tribute to that game-changing material breakthrough with a striking 100-piece limited edition. Vibrant, high-polish red ceramic defines the 43mm case and bezel, creating a high-impact visual that only Hublot could engineer. Red ceramic isn’t just a colour—it’s a complex, high-tech process that demands precision heat, pressure, and pigment calibration to achieve consistent tone and structure.

This bold, fire-red hue is unique to Hublot and instantly eye-catching. The carbon-style dial adds depth with a woven relief pattern, while the Arabic numerals, filled with Super-LumiNova, provide strong readability in contrast. Red accents carry through the chronograph registers, adding cohesion to the bold tone. Inside, the Unico movement ensures performance, reliability, and modern utility, complete with a commemorative gold rotor visible through the caseback.

This edition balances vibrant design with hardcore technical chops. The Red Magic isn’t just a colour choice—it’s a statement about risk, research, and reward. It’s a collector’s dream for those who want a timepiece that stands out not just for its looks but for the technological feat it represents.

Big Bang 20th Anniversary All Black

The All Black concept was a turning point in modern watch design. When Hublot first introduced it in 2006, it wasn’t about telling time—it was about making a statement. The idea of “invisible visibility” was radical: a luxury watch stripped of legibility, designed purely as an expression of form and philosophy. The 20th Anniversary All Black Edition revives that concept with fresh technical execution. Limited to 500 pieces, this model features a 43mm case crafted from matte and polished black ceramic.

The carbon-pattern dial is a first for an All Black model and adds a layer of texture to the stealthy finish. Indices, numerals, and hands are black-on-black, coated with subtle Super-LumiNova for a glow that’s only revealed in darkness—staying true to the “invisible visibility” ethos. Inside is the Unico movement with its signature flyback chronograph function, automatic winding, and a commemorative anniversary rotor.

This edition is as much about culture as it is about horology. It nods to the disruptive spirit of the early 2000s while reinforcing Hublot’s continued commitment to bold, concept-driven design. If the original All Black was a revolution, the 2025 version is a refined manifesto for those who still believe watches can speak louder than words.

Big Bang 20th Anniversary Magic Gold

Magic Gold is one of Hublot’s most significant material achievements. First introduced in 2011, this alloy combines the preciousness of 18k gold with the scratch-resistance of ceramic—creating a surface so tough it can only be cut with diamonds. With the 20th Anniversary Magic Gold edition, limited to just 100 pieces, Hublot brings this futuristic material back to the Big Bang with refined design and cutting-edge execution. The 43mm case showcases the unique greenish-gold tint of Magic Gold, contrasted by a black carbon-pattern dial and gilt details on the numerals and hands.

The knurled bezel, pinched lugs, and signature rubber-tipped pushers connect this edition to the original Big Bang aesthetic. The rubber strap, finished with a textured lozenge pattern and One Click system, adds comfort and customizability. Powering the watch is the in-house Unico flyback chronograph movement with a 72-hour reserve and gold rotor. The combination of advanced metallurgy and sleek visual contrasts makes this a standout among the anniversary lineup.

Magic Gold is more than an alloy—it’s the embodiment of Hublot’s philosophy. Built in-house, patented, and nearly impossible to scratch, it represents the fusion of tradition and tech at its most luxurious. This is gold with attitude—made for the future, not the safe.

Big Bang Unico Water Blue Sapphire

Hublot’s mastery of sapphire is well known, but the Big Bang Unico Water Blue Sapphire takes things to the next level. This 50-piece limited edition showcases a stunning new hue—water blue—a crystalline tone that feels light, bright, and otherworldly. Crafted entirely from blue sapphire crystal, the 44mm case, bezel, and display caseback offer transparency and resilience. Achieving colour in sapphire is no easy feat; it requires intense research and develpoment to find the right chemical formula and processing conditions for strength, clarity, and consistency.

Water Blue evokes tropical seas and open skies, creating an almost surreal wrist presence. Inside, the Unico movement powers the skeletonized dial with chronograph counters at 3 and 9 o’clock. It’s finished in grey tones to contrast beautifully with the translucent case. A matching blue rubber strap and pushers complete the look.

Hublot proves again that when it comes to materials, the sky is not the limit—it’s just the beginning. This is a technical triumph that merges transparency with complexity.

Big Bang Unico & One Click 33mm: Petrol Blue and Mint Green Ceramic

Hublot continues its leadership in coloured ceramic with two fresh additions that bring a breath of spring to the Big Bang collection. The Petrol Blue and Mint Green ceramics debut across two models: the technical Big Bang Unico 42mm and the versatile, elegant Big Bang One Click 33mm—the latter marking the first time this compact size is offered in full ceramic. Petrol Blue is deep and sophisticated, with blue undertones that shift with the light—somewhere between ocean depths and twilight skies.

Mint Green, on the other hand, leans bright and breezy, with a pastel coolness that radiates calm. Both colours are harmonized across the case, dial, and strap, creating a sleek monochrome effect. The 42mm Unico model houses Hublot’s in-house automatic chronograph movement, complete with an openworked dial and visible mechanics. The 33mm One Click keeps things minimal but refined, featuring a solid dial and a diamond-set steel bezel for added glamour. Both models come equipped with the One Click strap-change system, letting wearers swap rubber straps with ease and match their mood or outfit.

These editions are seasonal but significant—designed for collectors and style-forward wearers who appreciate Hublot’s commitment to both performance and playful experimentation. They showcase the brand’s unrivalled expertise in ceramic colouring, a complex process that requires exacting pigment calibration, high-temperature firing, and pressure balancing to maintain durability and vibrancy.

Whether you’re captivated by the architectural boldness of the Big Bang Unico or the refined elegance of the One Click, the Petrol Blue and Mint Green editions bring a refreshing burst of colour to luxury watchmaking, proving that bold can be beautiful and technical design can be strikingly stylish.
