The Hublot Big Bang Titanium Ceramic has it all. It's the latest 45mm Hublot Big Bang, the bezel is hewn from nearly scratch proof ceramic, and the case is crafted from motorsports-inspired titanium. What’s under the hood? Naturally, it’s an in-house Unico chronograph movement.
Hublot brought a great deal of its own engineering and styling chops to the table for this, the second generation of the famed Hublot Big Bang. The Big Bang case, which made its name as a virtual gallery of fused exotic materials, here sports brushed titanium, composite resin, carbon fiber, natural rubber, and black ceramic.
Ceramic deserves a special shout-out. Kiln-fired, polished on its flanks, and brushed on its crest, the ceramic bezel grants this Hublot Big Bang Unico special resilience in the face of offending knocks. Nearly as scratch-resistant as sapphire crystal, ceramic sets itself apart from old-school metallic bezels that end their days looking like NYC cabs after rush hour. Only diamonds can reliably scuff ceramic.
The Unico movement packs a 72-hour power reserve, automatic winding, a crisp column wheel function selector, maintenance-free ceramic rotor bearings, and a PVD gray structure that looks as sharp as it operates. It's designed, built, and refined by Hublot expressly for the company's flagship Big Bang and King Power models.
The strap is an exquisite color-keyed combination of alcantara technical suede and natural rubber; Hublot's push-button strap release permits 10-second do-it-yourself strap swaps to change the “shoes” on the Big Bang Unico Titanium Ceramic when the urge strikes.
This Hublot Big Bang Unico Titanium Ceramic is available from thewatchbox.com with all Hublot Boutique factory accessories including the famous Hublot “porthole” display box, full packaging, manuals, and documentation.

Thank you very much for this very detailed and !unbiased! review. I was unsure about purchasing a Hublot in general mainly due to the "hate" against the brand from many watch lovers. After almost 3 months now after purchasing the Hublot Big Bang Ceramic Gold, and I am more then pleased with this timepiece and would recommend it to everyone who is looking for a fantastic looking watch
Alexander Munn Hi Alexander, welcome to our channel! Congratulations on buying the watch you love; nobody's opinion should pressure you into choosing otherwise. There's a great deal to love about Hublot, and while the brand isn't my personal favorite, I respect Hublot's technological capability, history of innovation, and fearless will to push the limits of style. If companies like AP and Hublot weren't willing to take risks, we'd all be wearing 32mm dress watches whether we liked them or not. Variety rocks, and Hublot's all about variety. Plus, they make lots of really cool stuff like this: www.hublot.com/en/news/classic-fusion-tourbillon-vitrail

Whatd yours thoughts on it still and do you still have it ? Looking at getting the black magic version
Best watch review Chanel ever! 😃👍🏻 ps. One of the most beautiful hands too! 😄

Hello Tim,
Thanks for the review.
I want to buy hublot big bang unico, but i'm not sure which one, the ceramic titanium or full titanium
I heard that the titanium bezel is easy to get scratched
My friend suggest me to buy the ceramic because the bezel is more tough
Please give me some advice
Thank you Tim!
Hi Tim, I'm looking to buy one of these, anymore in stock? I'm based in the UK, do you ship out here?
Hello Tim
how would you rate the movement in the watch?
algorithm007ify From an engineering standpoint, I would place it on par with the Breitling B01/04.05 series, the Omega Cal 33XX chronos, and the Panerai Cal. 9000 series. The architecture, power reserves, and column wheel are comparable enough between them.
Granted, Omega's 33XX has a 50-ish hour power reserve, but I feel that its mechanical qualities (vertical clutch, column wheel, auto) put it in this league, and its chronometer status/co-axial escapement add a fascinating technical counterpoint to the silicon components, longer power reserve, and flyback feature of the Unico.
One note on the silicon components within the Unico; they include the escapement assembly but *not* the hairspring. This negates most of the antimagnetic advantage of the material.
Against that gripe, I'll give Hublot's watchmakers credit for designing the chronograph to drive the hour counter directly off the barrel. This greatly improves the precision (via enhanced balance amplitude) of the movement when the chronograph is active.
Moreover, Hublot employs an unusual double horizontal clutch rather than a vertical clutch on the Unico. While less refined in an aesthetic sense, this system trades a less fluid stop/start for a very efficient chrono operation that drains little power from the remaining drive train and the mainspring. Over time, this system ensures more accurate timing.
The Rolex 4130 and Omega 9300 are comparable to the Unico in terms of operating refinement and modern architecture, but both 9300 and 4130 reside in a higher echelon of durability relative to these others. Moreover, the Omega features a true silicon hairspring, balance, and escapement assembly that *does* invest it with the antimagnetic properties a true anti-mag watch should exhibit (more than even the Rolex Milgauss).
And due to the skeletonized dial of many Unico applications, the movement was designed to look good and expose a large number of components (clutch assembly, column wheel, chrono hammers) that normally hide within the top (watch case back) of the movement main plate (i.e., out-of-sight from the dial side).
Best,
Tim
@@the1916company Thank you for this highly informative reply. I was wondering about the anti-magnetic properties.
I am looking at looking this exact one ... but like £15,000
Hublot definitely looks sick! But this piece does not hold value.
Been looking at this myself and the Black Magic version but not sure if to go for Omega Dark side of the moon all black ceramic edition instead
