Hublot Big Bang Summer Edition 2026: Pastel Ceramic Innovation Takes Center Stage
Hublot Reinvents Summer With Multi-Colored Pastel Ceramic
Hublot has unveiled its Big Bang Summer Edition 2026 Collection, a six-watch lineup that pushes the boundaries of colored ceramic technology. According to aBlogtoWatch, the collection spans three Big Bang models ranging from simple time-and-date offerings to a 10-piece limited edition flying tourbillon, all crafted from pastel-hued ceramic and titanium.
Starting in 2017, Hublot has celebrated summer with playful "Summer Edition" watches. While earlier models used anodized aluminum, recent editions have leveraged the brand's industry-leading expertise in colored ceramic. The 2026 collection introduces a new Peach ceramic colorway alongside established Mint Green and Petrol Blue options.
Key Highlights: Multi-Colored Pastel Ceramic Chronograph
The hero piece is the Big Bang Unico Chronograph in multi-colored pastel ceramic (ref. 441.ERG.6610.RX), limited to 200 pieces. The 42mm case features four pastel hues — pink, mint green, white, and sky blue — across matte and polished ceramic surfaces. Inside beats Hublot's manufacture Caliber HUB1280 automatic flyback chronograph, operating at 28,800vph with a 72-hour power reserve.
