Hublot Big Bang Integrated Black Magic 42 mm Full Set NOS

A brief history

Since its launch in 2005, the Hublot Big Bang has imposed a new stylistic language in watchmaking: that of the fusion of materials, powerful volumes and a bold technical aesthetic. It has ushered Hublot into a new era, marked by constant innovation and a strong, instantly recognizable visual identity.

In 2020, the collection reached a new milestone with the introduction of the Big Bang Integrated: for the first time, the watch abandoned traditional straps in favor of a bracelet that is perfectly integrated into the continuity of the case. This evolution reinforces the purity of the lines, while affirming the model's sleek and contemporary character. In its Black Magic version, this watch takes Hublot's beloved concept of fusion even further, with extensive use of black ceramic—the brand's signature material—for a monochrome, lightweight, and spectacular aesthetic.

Presentation

With its 42 mm monobloc case in polished and satin-finished black ceramic, the Big Bang Integrated Black Magic embodies Hublot's contemporary aesthetic in its most radical form. Slim, angular and deep black, this piece has an ultra-modern integrated silhouette thanks to its matching ceramic strap, which is fused directly to the case. A strong signature, contrasting matte and shine.

But it is beneath its skeletonized dial that this watch reveals its true sophistication. The Big Bang Integrated Black Magic is powered by a high-flying automatic chronograph movement, the HUB1280 Unico 2 manufacture caliber, designed and assembled by Hublot in its own workshops. This refined version of the original Unico caliber has been specifically redesigned for more compact cases, while retaining its impressive architecture visible on the dial side, thanks to the full skeletonization of the upper bridge.

The HUB1280 incorporates the best watchmaking solutions available today: vertical clutch, column wheel visible at 6 o'clock, bidirectional automatic winding, and flyback function, allowing the chronograph to be restarted instantly without stopping. Despite its complexity, the caliber remains slim (6.75 mm), ensuring excellent comfort on the wrist. It has a power reserve of 72 hours and oscillates at 28,800 vibrations per hour, proof of its precision and stability.

The dial, with its transparency and superimposed layers, displays a bicompax chronograph (minutes at 3 o'clock, small seconds at 9 o'clock) with a date window at 3 o'clock integrated into the counter. The double-sided anti-reflective sapphire crystal and transparent case back allow this mechanical masterpiece to be admired from every angle.
