Hublot redefines an icon with the Big Bang Reloaded - Watches & Wonders 2026 #WatchesandWonders2026
By SENATUS Editor | 15 April 2026

Born from an audacious pairing of gold and rubber in 1980, Hublot has spent decades challenging conventions from the inside out. This season in Geneva, the Maison marks the 20th anniversary of its most disruptive design with the debut of the Big Bang Reloaded, an evolution of the openworked Big Bang Unico that brings performance and legibility to the forefront. In this vision, the manufacture caliber takes center stage, rebuilt to ensure its mechanical depth is more visible than ever.

The collection asserts a bolder, sportier character through a 44 mm case with amplified architecture and a two-part bezel. This design enables a dynamic interaction between textures, while a multilayer dial adds technical edge and depth. Each watch is secured by a patented One Click system, allowing the wearer to transition between an elegant fabric-inspired rubber strap and a classic black rubber wristband.

At the heart of the collection is the Unico, an integrated flyback chronograph featuring five patented innovations, including an anti-shaking chronograph hand system and a highly shock-resistant time-setting mechanism. The reloaded architecture uses color and contrast to highlight the column wheel at 6 o'clock and a redesigned chronograph counter at 3 o'clock. On the reverse, a new openworked rotor reveals the intricate balance and barrel, celebrating the Maison’s mechanical independence.

Hublot also utilizes this launch to celebrate its mastery of materials, offering a permanent collection crafted from high-tech ceramic and the world's first scratch-resistant 18K gold. The Magic Gold model remains a technical marvel, distinguished by its unique bronze glow. Meanwhile, ceramic references in blue, dark green, and the radical All Black edition showcase a material that is 300 Vickers harder than conventional alternatives, ensuring these icons are as robust as they are expressive.
