Hublot has introduced the Big Bang Reloaded collection, featuring five new models of its flagship chronograph, at Watches and Wonders 2026. The watches rework the openworked Big Bang Unico with refined movements, cases, and dials for better legibility and contrast. All models join the regular collection without production limits.
The Big Bang Reloaded centers on the in-house HUB1280 Unico caliber, a self-winding flyback chronograph first launched in 2010. Hublot highlights its column wheel at 6 o'clock and dual clutch at 8 o'clock with contrasting colors. The redesigned chronograph counter at 3 o'clock and prominent date between 4 and 5 o'clock improve readability on the skeletonized dial, available in gray or black plating depending on the model. The movement operates at 28,800 vibrations per hour with a 72-hour power reserve, silicon escapement, and five patented elements including dual oscillating clutches and a zero-friction ratchet system. Cases measure 44mm wide and 14.5mm thick with 100m water resistance, using titanium, ceramic, or Magic Gold, paired with sapphire crystals front and back, and two rubber straps via One Click system. The collection includes a Titanium Ceramic model at €23,500, All Black ceramic at €24,700, Blue Ceramic and Dark Green Ceramic both at €24,700, and Magic Gold at €43,600. Hublot plans special versions tied to ambassadors Kylian Mbappé and Usain Bolt. These updates follow recent closed-dial Big Bang releases and the line's 20th anniversary upgrades.
