⚙️ Movement & Performance

At its core, the watch houses the HUB1280 UNICO Manufacture Self-Winding Chronograph Flyback Movement, an intricate calibre developed and manufactured entirely in-house by Hublot. This movement is the soul of the watch, offering exceptional performance:

• Flyback Chronograph: Allows the chronograph to be instantly reset and restarted with a single push, essential for measuring successive elapsed times.
• Visible Architecture: The sapphire skeleton dial provides a captivating view of the movement’s column wheel and double clutch system—a hallmark of high-end chronographs.
• Components: Composed of 354 precision components.
• Power Reserve: An impressive 72-hour power reserve (3 days).
• Frequency: Beats at 28,800 vibrations per hour (4 Hz) for uncompromised accuracy.

🏗️ Design & Construction

The unique 42 mm square case is a masterful blend of precious metal and high-tech material:

• Case Material: The main case structure is crafted from 18K King Gold, Hublot’s proprietary alloy that uses platinum to achieve a richer, warmer, and more stable rose gold shade. This is contrasted with the Black Ceramic components, which offer high scratch resistance and a deep, intense black finish.
• Bezel: The black ceramic bezel is secured by six signature H-shaped titanium screws, emphasizing Hublot’s industrial-chic aesthetic.
• Crystal: A scratch-resistant sapphire crystal with an anti-reflective coating protects the dial.
• Water Resistance: The construction is water-resistant up to 10 ATM (100 meters), ensuring durability for daily wear and incidental water exposure.

The captivating sapphire crystal skeleton dial is the focal point, a transparent window revealing the mechanical complexity beneath.

• The metallic rose-gold-plated hands and applied hour markers, filled with luminescence, provide excellent legibility against the dark, open-worked movement plate.

• The combination of black, King Gold, and the grey mechanics creates a sophisticated, powerful color palette.
