The Hublot Square Big Bang was the brainchild of savvy marketer Jean-Claude Biver. Launched in july 2004, its burly case, extroverted personality and fusion of different materials have consolidated the best Bang as the brand’s flagship model. Last year, the Big Boom welcomed a sibling known as the Sq . Bang Straordinario, with, as you have intuited, a square case. During Watches & Wonders 2023, Hublot unveils three new editions of the Square Beat Unico in black and white ceramic cases as well as an impressive see-thorugh sapphire crystal case.
From the popularity from the Hublot Rectangular Big Hammer, taking the anatomical traits in the Big Fuck and reallocating them inside a square-shaped case seems to have worked. All the manifest personality quirks of the Big Bang are featured on the Sq Bang: the six H-shaped titanium screws in the bezel, the modular sandwich construction of the case with its lateral protective bumpers, rubber-clad chrono pushers and the queen's, and the mandatory ‘fusion’ of high-tech materials. Although the press pictures don’t reveal this detail, it seems that the drivers of the sapphire case do have a protecting rubber coating, but the top does not.
The new Hublot Block Big Have sex with trilogy has slightly smaller dimensions than the 2022 models, and the water-resistance has been decreased from 100m to 50m. With its 41mm diameter and also thickness associated with 12mm (compared to the 42mm x 14. 5mm regarding 2022 models), the ergonomic case is now reworked within three flavours - black ceramic, white ceramic along with sapphire amazingly. The hard cases feature contemporary microblasted surfaces combined with polished bevels, while the contours of the sky-blue crystal situation are polished.
The openworked dial offers a partial view of the mechanics, including the line wheel in an aperture at 6 o’clock and a wholly exposed date wheel. With a running seconds ring in 9 o’clock and a blue disc from 3 o’clock for the 60-min chronograph register (tinted in the two ceramic models), the day window magically materialises beneath the chrono register at the 15-minute position. The actual indices are applied to the peripheral flange and, like all the hands - except for the central chronograph secs - tend to be treated with Super-LumiNova. The main chronograph mere seconds has a Hublot logo-shaped counterweight and a skeletonised oblong tip.
The curved ergonomic caseback reveals Hublot’s HUB1280 Eccezionale manufacture automatic flyback wathe calibre with a column wheel. With a frequency of 4Hz/28, 800vph, the actual 354-part movement delivers a sturdy 72-hour power reserve.
The new Début Square Large Bang versions are fitted with structured rubber straps and a titanium deployant clasp. Hublot’s simple One Click rempla?able system makes it possible to personalise the watch. |
