Hublot Finds a New Voice in Pastel Ceramic

    Hublot Finds a New Voice in Pastel Ceramic

    A single Big Bang case combines microblasted pink, mint green, and sky blue ceramic. The material, which Hublot has spent years developing, is light to the touch but extremely hard. This summer, the brand is using its technical process to explore a softer palette.

    Since 2017, the company has treated summer in the Mediterranean as a recurring theme, launching watches tied to the season. For 2026, the focus is on pastel ceramics, a shift from the intense, primary colors the brand first introduced in 2018. The new tones are meant to capture the light of a Mediterranean sunrise or sunset.

    Two Expressions of Summer

    The collection is led by two multi-colored Big Bang Summer models. The first is a 42mm Unico flyback chronograph, limited to 200 pieces. Its case is a fusion of polished pink and mint green ceramic, framed by a sky-blue ceramic bezel. The matte dial continues the pink and mint tones. It is priced at 34,300 USD.

    The second is a 44mm automatic tourbillon, limited to just 10 pieces. While it uses the same ceramic color combination for the case, its dial is a transparent pink sapphire crystal, exposing the HUB6035 movement underneath. The price is 119,000 USD. Both watches include three interchangeable rubber straps in sky blue, mint green, and pink, each with a white lining and the brand's One-Click system.

    A Monochrome Statement

    Alongside the multi-colored pieces, Hublot introduced a series of monochrome ceramics in peach, mint, and petrol blue. These appear on a 33mm Big Bang, which for the first time is offered without diamonds. The color covers the case, bezel, dial, and the structured rubber strap, creating a pure, uninterrupted aesthetic. Each is powered by a three-hand automatic movement and priced at 15,500 USD.

    The peach color also appears on a 42mm Big Bang with a titanium case and a peach ceramic bezel. This model uses the in-house Unico flyback chronograph movement, visible through a skeletonized peach dial. It is priced at 24,000 USD.

    The material itself is the product of a patented process that results in a ceramic up to 300 Vickers harder than traditional versions. The Unico caliber, first introduced in 2010, provides a 72-hour power reserve and integrates a flyback chronograph with a column wheel visible from the front. The tourbillon’s HUB6035 movement also has a 72-hour power reserve, with a micro-rotor visible on the dial side.

    Starting from January 1, 2026, watches become eligible for a warranty program that can extend international coverage up to ten years. A basic five-year warranty can be supplemented by an additional five years through registration in the Hublotista program.
