Description

Hublot introduced the UNICO movement to bring genuine in-house credibility to the Big Bang platform, and it succeeded. The HUB1242 is a 330-component flyback chronograph calibre with column wheel control, visible through the case front and back. The skeleton construction showcases the movement to full effect, making this as much a display piece as a functional timepiece. Titanium brings weight savings compared to steel, which is noticeable on a 44mm watch at this density. The rubber and titanium strap integration is a signature Hublot feature. Vendor advises production year is unknown. Buyers should review all 9 photos carefully and confirm condition of the bezel, pushers, and bracelet/strap.
