Why the Big Bang is iconic
Released in 2005, the Big Bang made Hublot a sensation by fusing precious metals with industrial materials and rubber, winning design awards and driving the brand's rapid growth. Its layered, porthole-inspired case with exposed screws became one of the most imitated silhouettes in modern watchmaking.
What to pay pre-owned
Pre-owned Big Bangs in the UK average around £6,311, with steel and ceramic time-and-date models lower and Unico chronographs, skeletons, gold and limited editions considerably higher. Material, movement, case size, box and papers, and condition all strongly affect value.
Sizes & variants
Buyers seek 38mm to 45mm cases, ceramic, titanium, King Gold and carbon builds, plus Unico chronographs, skeletons, Sang Bleu and numerous limited editions.
How to authenticate
- 1.Confirm the reference and serial number are correct and cleanly engraved, cross-checking Hublot records where possible.
- 2.Have a watchmaker verify the movement is the correct Hublot calibre, such as the in-house Unico, and weigh the watch, as the multi-material case should feel appropriately dense.
- 3.Examine dial, bezel and printing under magnification for precise detail, check the screws and finishing, ensure the box and papers match, and buy from sellers offering an authentication guarantee.
Guidance only — always buy from sellers offering an authentication guarantee.
Buying a pre-owned Hublot Big Bang — FAQs
What does 'Art of Fusion' mean?
It is Hublot's approach of combining contrasting materials such as gold, ceramic, carbon and rubber in a single watch, which the Big Bang pioneered.
Is the Unico movement in-house?
Yes; the Unico is Hublot's own chronograph calibre and is generally preferred by buyers over earlier outsourced movements found in some models.
Do Big Bangs hold value well?
Values vary widely by material and edition; limited and precious-metal pieces fare better, while common steel and rubber models can see steeper depreciation.
