45mm | Titanium | In-House HUB1242 Unico | Flyback Chronograph
Hublot's Big Bang redefined what a luxury sports watch could be when it launched in 2005, introducing the concept of "fusion" - the marriage of unexpected materials in bold, unapologetic design. The Big Bang Unico takes that philosophy further by bringing the manufacture movement in-house, giving Hublot complete control over both aesthetics and mechanics. The Ref. 411.HX.1170.RX in titanium represents the Unico at its most wearable - lightweight, comfortable, and engineered for daily use despite its commanding 45mm presence. This is not a watch for those who prefer to fly under the radar. It is a statement piece, and it makes no apologies.
The 45mm case is crafted from satin-finished titanium with a polished bezel secured by Hublot's signature six H-shaped titanium screws - a design detail that has become synonymous with the brand. The skeletonized dial puts the HUB1242 movement on full display, exposing the column wheel, vertical clutch, and twin barrels through the dial side. The black and grey tones of the movement are accented by red highlights on the chronograph seconds hand and subdial accents, adding visual depth without overwhelming the industrial aesthetic. The sapphire crystal with anti-reflective treatment provides unobstructed views of the mechanical theater beneath.
The HUB1242 Unico is Hublot's flagship manufacture movement - a flyback chronograph with a column wheel visible at 6 o'clock and a 72-hour power reserve from twin barrels. The flyback function allows instant chronograph reset and restart without stopping the movement, a complication originally developed for aviation. The exhibition caseback reveals the oscillating weight with its distinctive cog-like design. Presented on Hublot's signature black structured rubber strap with titanium deployant buckle - a combination that keeps the watch light on the wrist despite its substantial dimensions. Complete with box and papers, dated 2020.
