Hublot ’ s new Square Bang Unico Sapphire
H- shaped screws , micro-blasted and polished finishes , exposed movements and long-power reserve calibers .
Hublot will offer one debut , the Square Bang Unico Sapphire , in a limited run of 250 . Its 41mm by 12mm square sapphire case remains fully water resistant to fifty meters , despite the challenges inherent in working with sapphire cases .
Inside the sapphire case ( and inside both ceramic debuts ) Hublot fits its time-tested HUB1280 Unico automatic chronograph with flyback . For this model , the sapphire case enhances the view of the movement , allowing unobstructed view of its column-wheel and chronograph gearing . The movement offers a superior seventy-twohour power reserve .
Hublot places the HUB1280 into its two new Square Bang Unico Ceramic models , which are not limited editions . Offered in 41mm by 12mm white ceramic or black ceramic cases , each watch is fitted with a rubber strap with a titanium deployant buckle clasp . Hublot notes that while a matching black or white rubber strap comes with these models , its One Click interchangeable system makes it possible to customize either watch by swapping straps .
Prices : $ 27,000 ( black ceramic ), $ 26,200 ( white ceramic ) and $ 95,000 ( clear sapphire ).
