Hublot Big Bang Unico 411.CI.1170.CI Skeleton Arabic Black Ceramic Case 45mm BRAND NEW

The Hublot Big Bang Unico 411.CI.1170.CI is one of the most visually commanding expressions of Hublot's flagship Big Bang line — a 45mm all-ceramic skeleton chronograph built for collectors who demand maximum impact on the wrist. Introduced as part of the Big Bang Unico family, this reference distills everything the line is famous for: aviation-inspired porthole lugs, an integrated bracelet architecture, and an in-house flyback chronograph movement displayed through an openworked dial. The all-black ceramic execution pushes that formula to its most dramatic extreme.

Hublot's use of black ceramic — a high-tech sintered material composed primarily of zirconium oxide — is central to the identity of reference 411.CI.1170.CI. Ceramic ranks between 8 and 9 on the Mohs hardness scale, making the case, bezel, and bracelet extraordinarily resistant to the scratches and micro-abrasions that plague steel and titanium watches in daily wear. Yet ceramic's relatively low density keeps the overall weight surprisingly comfortable for a 45mm sports watch, a balance that is notoriously difficult to achieve at this case diameter.

The skeleton Arabic and index dial is the visual centerpiece of this reference. Rather than a conventional solid dial, Hublot strips away material to reveal the layered bridges and decorated plates of the in-house Unico movement beneath, with Arabic numeral hour markers and applied indexes anchoring legibility against the openworked background. The effect is simultaneously architectural and horological — you are reading the time and witnessing the mechanism that generates it at the same moment. The result is one of the most photogenic, immediately recognizable dial designs in contemporary haute horology.

Powering the 411.CI.1170.CI is the Hublot Unico automatic movement, the manufacture's in-house column-wheel flyback chronograph caliber that demonstrates Hublot's commitment to vertical integration. A flyback complication allows the wearer to reset and restart the chronograph with a single push of the pusher, rather than requiring the traditional stop-reset-restart sequence — a genuine functional advantage for timing events in rapid succession. The movement is visible not only through the open dial but also through a case back that frames the decorated rotor and bridges in full.

On the wrist, the Big Bang Unico 411.CI.1170.CI makes a statement that very few watches at any price point can match. The 45mm all-ceramic case sits assertively but not uncomfortably, the integrated bracelet distributing weight evenly and conforming to the wrist better than a standard lug-and-bracelet design. The seamless transition from case to bezel to bracelet in a single unbroken black ceramic surface creates a monolithic, almost sculptural presence. This is a watch for collectors who want to be noticed and who appreciate the engineering required to produce that effect in such a demanding material.
