GENTLE FRESHNESS
With its exquisite, ultra-light, watermint-colored aluminum case, the new watch from the Nyon watchmaker is the perfect refreshing companion to enjoy the summer season.
It is an indisputable fact: color conveys joy, eases tension, and favors relaxation. It also symbolizes summer, because as soon as the sun comes out, we throw aside our dark clothes and swap them for vibrant outfits. In keeping with this desire (or need?) for seasonal cheerfulness that comes with the caress of the sun and generally precedes the vacation period, Hublot designed a watch that is perfect for enhancing a sun-kissed complexion, the ideal companion to wear on the beach as well as in the city. Big Bang Unico Summer, produced in a limited edition of only 200 timepieces.
This new model is radiant, with its watermint-colored anodized aluminum case. Measuring 42mm in diameter and 14.5mm thick, its dimensions are suitable for all wrists. It is waterproof to a depth of 100m. It is equipped with the Unico HUB1280. This is an automatic chronograph movement with a flyback function running on 4hz and providing a 72-hour power reserve.
Entirely made in turquoise, except for the silvered H screws that adorn the bezel, the attachments, and the wings, the watch features an openworked dial punctuated by matching elements and enhanced by white touches such as the flange on which the minute track is displayed, the large hour markers and Arabic numerals on the hour circle, the large baton-style hour and minute hands, the second hand with its H-shaped chronograph counterweight, the circle that frames the small seconds at 9 o’clock, and the minute counter that includes the date at 3 o’clock.
To further enhance the pleasure of this soft hue, the fabric or lined rubber straps and their respective buckles, easily interchangeable thanks to the One Click system, are also available in blue lagoon.
