W&W 2021: Presenting the Hublot Big Bang Unico Yellow Magic

Hublot Big Bang Unico Yellow Magic

Following the release of the Hublot Big Bang Unico Red Magic in 2018, now comes a new iteration in yellow. The Hublot Big Bang Unico Yellow Magic invites you to enjoy the sunny side of life. Although yellow is a primary color that is abundant in nature, this color is still difficult and almost impossible to reproduce in a material such as ceramic. As a real accelerator of innovation, and thanks to its expertise, the Hublot Manufacture has achieved the impossible by creating the first bright yellow ceramic.

With the launch of bright red ceramic, it was said that —almost— all Pantone colors were possible for Hublot’s brightly colored ceramic, a world-first which has been patented since 2018. The Big Bang Unico Yellow Magic is not only a perfect match with Pantone's trending Illuminating Colours of the Year 2021, it is writing the future by making materials our field of innovation… a universe which knows no bounds.

Available in a limited edition of 250 pieces, the solar power of its 42 mm case and its bezel shine in the light of this yellow ceramic. In an ultra-invigorating color palette, the flange, indexes, minute and seconds counters, Arabic numerals and hands are all in this sunny yellow, to highlight the mechanism of the Unico HUB1280 manufacture movement and its column wheel, visible on the dial side through the sapphire crystal. The brightness continues right down to its lined and structured yellow rubber strap.

A unique process, a patented material, entirely developed and produced by the Manufacture's R&D department and its Metallurgy & Materials laboratory. Four years of development to find the perfect balance of temperature and pressure enabling the ceramic to be sintered without burning the pigments. Hublot has met the challenge of retaining the properties and the colorimetry of the pigments while increasing the wear resistance of this ceramic which is harder than traditional ceramics —1350 HV versus 1200 HV. No more black and white. Hublot ceramic is available in all colours including red, blue, beige, green and now yellow.
