Hublot Big Bang Unico Integrated Black Magic Ceramic 42mm 451.CX.1170.CX - BRAND NEW

The Hublot Big Bang Unico Integrated Black Magic — reference 451.CX.1170.CX — represents one of the boldest expressions of Hublot's design philosophy: the complete fusion of form, material, and mechanical ambition into a single, uncompromising wristwatch. Available brand new at Bizak & Co., this 42mm ceramic chronograph is purpose-built for collectors who demand a watch that is as architecturally striking as it is technically accomplished.

Hublot introduced the Big Bang in 2005 as a deliberate collision of haute horlogerie tradition and avant-garde design. The Big Bang Unico evolved that concept further by housing the brand's proprietary in-house Unico chronograph movement and, in later integrated references, by rethinking how the bracelet and case relate to one another. The "Integrated" designation marks a significant departure from the original Big Bang's lug-and-strap construction: the bracelet flows directly out of the case in a single continuous architectural statement, a design move that aligns this reference with the broader industry conversation around integrated-bracelet sports watches while retaining Hublot's unmistakably aggressive identity.

The "Black Magic" moniker refers to Hublot's all-ceramic treatment, and on the 451.CX.1170.CX every component — the 42mm case, the skeletonized-style bezel, the integrated bracelet — is rendered in polished and satin-finished black ceramic. Ceramic is prized in watchmaking for its exceptional hardness, its resistance to scratching, and its deep, consistent color that does not fade or oxidize over time. The result on the wrist is a watch that is simultaneously stealthy and imposing, absorbing light rather than reflecting it, and presenting a monolithic, almost sculptural silhouette.

The black index dial sits within this all-ceramic architecture and maintains the monochromatic discipline of the design. Applied hour markers and hands in a coordinating dark finish ensure legibility while preserving the cohesive "Black Magic" palette. The Big Bang Unico's case construction — with its characteristic H-shaped screws, layered case band, and exhibition caseback — remains visible and celebrated rather than hidden, because Hublot has always treated its engineering as a design element in its own right.

Powering this reference is Hublot's proprietary Unico automatic chronograph movement, a manufacture caliber developed entirely in-house and known for its column-wheel and horizontal clutch architecture, which ensures smooth, precise chronograph engagement. The movement is visible through the exhibition caseback, offering a view of the architecture that justifies Hublot's "Art of Fusion" positioning. At 42mm, the Big Bang Unico Integrated wears with authority without crossing into oversized territory, making it a versatile choice for both formal occasions and everyday sport wear.
