Hublot Big Bang Summer 2026 Collection: Pastel Ceramic Meets Titanium in Playful Luxury
Hublot Celebrates Summer 2026 with Pastel Ceramic and Titanium Big Bang Watches
Since 2017, Hublot has marked the arrival of summer with a special collection unveiled in Saint-Tropez. For 2026, the Swiss luxury watchmaker has prepared a colorful series of Big Bang watches that showcase the brand's mastery of colored ceramic and titanium. The range offers a lighter, seasonal interpretation of the iconic Big Bang, spanning manufacture chronographs, a flying tourbillon, and compact 33mm automatic models.
Multi-Colored Ceramic Chronograph: The Hero Piece
The centerpiece of the collection is the Big Bang Summer Multi-Colored Ceramic Chronograph (ref. 441.ERG.6610.RX), limited to 200 pieces. This playful composition features pink, mint-green, and sky-blue ceramic inspired by Mediterranean sunsets and coastal landscapes. The microblasted and polished ceramic case combines pink and mint-green elements, framed by a sky-blue bezel and matching caseback.
Powered by Hublot's manufacture HUB1280 Unico flyback chronograph calibre, this 42mm watch features a column wheel, flyback function, and a generous 72-hour power reserve. The skeletonized dial continues the pastel theme with matte pink and mint-green tones, while sky blue appears on the movement plates visible through the open-worked display.

Titanium Peach Ceramic: A New Hue for Hublot
The Big Bang Titanium Peach Ceramic (ref. 441.NCU.5920.RX) introduces a new ceramic color to Hublot's palette. Rather than using ceramic for the entire case, this model pairs titanium upper and lower case sections with a polished pale orange ceramic bezel and center case. The resulting gray-orange color profile offers a more restrained and mature aesthetic compared to fully ceramic alternatives.
The skeletonized dial is finished in a matching peach shade with crisp white accents, maintaining the summer theme while benefiting from titanium's lighter weight and durability. Water resistance stands at 100 meters, with the same HUB1280 flyback chronograph movement as its multi-colored sibling.
Flying Tourbillon: The Halo Piece
The most exclusive model is the Big Bang Summer Multi-Coloured Ceramic Tourbillon (ref. 429.ERG.6610.RX), limited to just 10 pieces. This 44mm watch shares the same pink, mint-green, and sky-blue ceramic construction as the chronograph but adds a transparent pink sapphire dial that reveals the HUB6035 manufacture automatic tourbillon calibre.
Three of the bridges are crafted from transparent sapphire, while the open-worked dial uses pink sapphire to create a premium execution of the summer-themed colorway. The tourbillon model maintains a 300m water resistance rating.
33mm Models: Ceramic Without Diamonds
Three monochromatic 33mm Big Bang models in Peach, Mint Green, and Petrol Blue ceramic round out the collection. These represent the first 33mm Big Bang watches offered without diamond settings, making the color itself the focal point. Powered by the HUB1120 automatic movement based on the Sellita SW100, these watches feature polished ceramic cases, bezels, dials, and structured rubber straps all rendered in matching tones.
