Travel Made Simple – Hublot BIG BANG UNICO GMT
The ingenuity of this watch lies in a patented module integrated into the Hublot UNICO cal. HUB1251, which enables the second time zone to be updated instantly by a push-button, allowing the local time to be read easily via the conventional main hand of the watch. The two push-buttons at two and four o’clock, while reminiscent of a chronograph, are used to advance the local time forward and backward in one-hour increments respectively. They have been redesigned to ensure they can be distinguished, and more than that, their rectangularity have been drawn from the historic push-buttons of the first Big Bang models. There’s also a safety device that prevents the simultaneous activation of the two push buttons.
Available in titanium or carbon-fiber case, the watch’s exceptional high-functioning movement is built from 339 parts operating at 4Hz and offers a power reserve of 72 hours. Suffice it to say that when you’re armed to your teeth with a heavy schedule, the Hublot Big Bang UNICO GMT is the de-facto travel companion that will hit the ground running.
