Party time: Hublot celebrates 20th anniversary of Big Bang at Watches & Wonders
The Nyon-based brand brought a mashup of its Big Bang Original and Big Bang Unico to Watches & Wonders. luxury replica watches
Can you believe the Hublot Big Bang is 20 years old this year? When it was launched two decades ago, the watch was met with polarizing reviews. Some collectors still view it as a status symbol rather than a true legend.
Despite this, critics and industry observers generally praised Hublot (and the Big Bang series) for its innovations in materials, design and craftsmanship. So how exactly could a watch with such a long history make a splash at Watches & Wonders in 2025?
Well, for Hublot, which lives by the motto “The Art of Fusion”, the smartest way to celebrate the anniversary of its most iconic series is to combine the original Big Bang design with the current Big Bang Unico.
Party Pack
We’ve grown a little tired of using words like “iconic” and “disruptive” to describe high quality replica watches. Yet even if these adjectives have (mostly) disappeared from our vocabulary, we can still say that the Big Bang has redefined watchmaking in the 21st century.
The Big Bang is not a low-key watch, it has been instantly recognisable since its inception. However, it has been quietly evolving, and the five limited edition Big Bang watches released this week at Watches & Wonders in Geneva are a microcosm of the series’ development.
“This year, we are not only looking back at all that Hublot has achieved with the Big Bang, but also looking to the future, all the potential it still has and all the possibilities it offers,” explained Julien Tornare, CEO of Hublot, in a recent press release.
Thus, with these five anniversary editions, Hublot will present a series of classic masterpieces from the brand and connect the past, present and future of the Big Bang series. Furthermore, the five limited editions – Titanium Ceramic, King Gold Ceramic, Red Magic Ceramic, All Black and All Magic Gold – also pay tribute to the materials pioneered by Hublot.
Now everyone together
Although these anniversary editions are made of different materials, they all share common features, such as a redesigned case with a unique layered structure, a dial engraved with a carbon fiber relief pattern, and the collection’s classic riveted Arabic numerals and indices, which recall the earliest Big Bangs. replica watches for sale
As with the Big Bang Unico models, these hour markers are now coated with Super-LumiNova. In addition, the dial features two chronograph counters, one at 9 o’clock for the small seconds and another at 3 o’clock for the chronograph minutes.
What else is new? These versions are equipped with the Unico automatic chronograph movement and a special gold rotor to mark the 20th anniversary of this modern classic (dare we say) watch. In addition, they have a specially engraved crown with a rubber insert decorated with Hublot’s 20th anniversary logo.

The Titanium Ceramic and King Gold Ceramic versions also feature a new 43mm case with slightly curved pressed lugs and a knurled bezel edge, which were prominent features of the earliest Big Bang models.

The Big Bang 20th Anniversary All Black is a tribute to the first Big Bang All Black Limited Edition from 2006. If you remember, this watch was famous for its "invisible visible" concept.
This time, the Neo-noir watch features a new combination of matte and polished black ceramic cases and a black carbon-textured dial.
The brand's proprietary "Magic Gold" was launched in 2011 and was advertised as the world's first and only scratch-resistant 18K gold alloy. Therefore, any tribute to the Big Bang would be incomplete without paying homage to this alchemical masterpiece.
The Big Bang 20th Anniversary Full Magic Gold is a limited edition watch with a case made of this unique material, a carbon-textured dial and gold-plated hands and indexes.
Last but not least, the Big Bang 20th Anniversary Red Magic men replica watches, which pays tribute to Hublot's first Red Magic watch launched in 2018, marked Hublot's breakthrough in the field of brightly colored ceramics.
