Exclusive Hublot UNICO HUB1280 automatic chronograph movement with fully operational functions. It features basic hour and minute hands. The subdial at the 9 o’clock position holds the small seconds hand. The longest hand is the central chronograph seconds hand. The pushbutton at the upper right controls start/stop for the chronograph, which measures up to 60 minutes of elapsed time, while the lower right pushbutton serves as the reset. It has a screw-down crown and an open-work date disc.
Matte black open-work dial. The dial adopts matte black skeletonized finishing, allowing you to admire the mechanical beauty of the column wheel directly from the front. It stands out thanks to its double-clutch mechanical system and column wheel. The minute and second track sits on the angled outer bezel ring, making the dial appear more spacious and grand, integrated seamlessly with the Arabic numeral hour markers as one unified whole.
Titanium is lightweight and widely adopted across the Hublot watch collection. Among all materials, titanium boasts an excellent strength-to-weight ratio, rendering it highly valuable, especially within the aerospace industry. Titanium also excels with great corrosion resistance and biocompatibility when in contact with skin. Hublot exclusively uses premium Grade 5 titanium featuring high hardness. Once polished, this material delivers a subtle bluish metallic luster.
For Hublot, materials are an indispensable part of watch design. Materials must complement the design. They protect the movement and withstand the test of time. For this reason, Hublot uses high-tech ceramic for certain watch cases and bezels. This highly scratch-resistant material (second only to diamond) is manufactured based on zirconia sintered at ultra-high temperatures.
While developing its in-house automatic chronograph movement, Hublot aimed for it to be as ingenious and extraordinary as all the brand’s creations. This movement is the soul of the watch. Its “open” design lays the internal mechanism fully visible. It features an open-work date ring at the 3 o’clock position, a 60-minute chronograph counter at 3 o’clock, horizontal clutch at 8 o’clock and small seconds subdial at 9 o’clock, all contributing to improved reliability and durability.
The iridescent diamond-cut hands and hour markers merge seamlessly as one unit, rendering the time display clearer and more intuitive. Both hour and minute hands are coated with luminous material for easy time reading at night. The hands and markers feature extensive brushing, creating a striking visual contrast. Under light, the iridescent pattern on the hands stands out vividly.
