The Summer Watch That's Setting the Tone
A sun-drenched statement in orange and blue, Hublot's latest timepiece brings summer — and 20 years of the Big Bang — to your wrist
There are certain moments that signal the start of summer. The first golden light through your sunglasses; the gentle rhythm of waves against the shore. And now, the arrival of Hublot 's Big Bang Unico Summer 2025 – a watch created to reflect the season in full colour.
Unveiled on the sun-soaked shores of Mykonos, the timepiece debuted against a backdrop of sea, celebration and style. Olympic legend Usain Bolt and DJ Mattia Vitale of Meduza were among those in attendance, but all eyes were on the watch. Cloaked in radiant orange and Mediterranean blue, it channels the spirit of the season – vivid, elegant and made for a life lived in the sun.
Hublot has long embraced the beauty of contrast. The Big Bang Unico Summer 2025 is crafted from high-tech ceramic, known for its lightness and durability, yet shaped with a sense of softness and finesse. The orange case recalls the warmth of golden hour, while the sky-blue bezel reflects the calm of a coastal afternoon. With Hublot's One-Click strap system, three interchangeable rubber straps in coordinating tones allow for effortless transitions – whether you're by the pool or on the move.
Beneath the surface, the watch is powered by the in-house Unico movement, visible through an openworked dial. The flyback chronograph features a 72-hour power reserve and a refined structure that balances engineering with elegance.
This year marks two decades since the launch of the Big Bang collection. From its original debut in 2005 to this latest summer edition, the design has evolved while remaining true to its bold, expressive identity.
And with the Big Bang Unico Summer 2025, Hublot continues to define time through colour, craft and clarity of vision, resulting in a seasonal statement that shines bright precisely when it should.
