Hublot Big Bang 451.HX.1123.HX 42 mm Grey Dial

The 451.HX.1123.HX combines the integrated silhouette of the Big Bang Integral with an all-white ceramic treatment. At 42 mm, the case and bracelet keep the profile visually continuous, while the matte grey skeleton dial introduces a more measured field beneath the bright exterior. Red and white accents animate the open-worked chronograph display, and sapphire with anti-reflective treatment protects the view. A 100-metre water-resistance rating gives the unusually light palette practical substance.

The automatic HUB1280 drives the chronograph through an in-house column-wheel architecture. Within this white ceramic Integral, the 43-jewel, 354-part calibre pairs flyback timing and a date display with 72 hours of reserve. The result is an Integral that relies on contrast within the dial rather than contrast between case materials. White ceramic establishes the continuous outer form; the exposed Unico mechanics supply the movement and visual energy underneath.
