Hublot Big Bang 441.NX.1170.RX 42 mm

The 441.NX.1170.RX is a 42 mm Big Bang Unico shaped around titanium from case to bezel. Polished and satin surfaces give the metal enough variation to prevent the black skeleton dial and black rubber strap from becoming a single flat field. Sapphire with anti-reflective treatment protects the open view, while luminous elements pick out the analogue indications. The watch is rated to 100 metres, adding everyday resilience to a design that remains unapologetically mechanical.

Its HUB1280 automatic movement brings a column-wheel chronograph with flyback capability and a date display. The in-house calibre runs at 28,800 vibrations per hour and stores 72 hours of power in a movement containing 43 jewels and 354 parts. This is the Big Bang Unico reduced to a particularly coherent combination: titanium structure, blackened visual depth, and a technically substantial chronograph inside.
