Hublot Makes Summer More Colourful With the New Big Bang Summer 2026

Hublot keeps pushing at the limits of what ceramic watches can be. With this year’s Big Bang Summer 2026 the maker presents several new models where soft pastel colours meet advanced watchmaking. The result is a collection that stands out in an industry where dark and traditional colours so often dominate.

For those of us who appreciate Hublot’s uncompromising approach to materials and design, this is yet more proof of why the brand remains one of the most innovative players in modern watchmaking.

Pastel ceramic with Hublot’s technical signature

For several years Hublot has led the way in developing coloured ceramic. While many makers still stick to black, white, or dark-blue ceramic, Hublot keeps experimenting with entirely new shades. This year’s Summer collection combines mint green, pink, and sky blue in an advanced ceramic construction inspired by the colours of the Mediterranean. The material is not only light and scratch-resistant — thanks to ongoing research it is roughly 300 Vickers harder than conventional ceramic — but also extremely difficult to make while keeping its colour and quality, which makes Hublot’s know-how all the more impressive.

Two limited Big Bang Summer models

The collection’s highlight consists of two limited models that share the same colour theme but aim at different kinds of collector.

Big Bang Unico Summer 42 mm

The first model is fitted with Hublot’s in-house Unico flyback chronograph and produced in just 200 examples. The case combines pink and mint-green ceramic with a sky-blue bezel, while the dial continues the same colour theme. It is a watch that without doubt draws the eye, while also showing how far Hublot has come in coloured ceramic. Inside sits the HUB1280 Unico calibre — a column-wheel flyback chronograph at 28,800 vph with a 72-hour power reserve — and the open dial and sapphire caseback let you see it work. Price is around USD 34,300.

Big Bang Tourbillon Summer 44 mm

For anyone who wants something even more exclusive, there is also a Big Bang Tourbillon in just 10 examples. Here a transparent pink sapphire dial lets the automatic tourbillon movement — the micro-rotor HUB6035 with a 72-hour reserve — take centre stage. The construction gives an impressive sense of depth while reinforcing the feel of modern haute horlogerie. Price is around USD 119,000.

New monochrome ceramic models

Beyond the limited models, Hublot also introduces new monochrome 33 mm ceramic executions — including the debut Peach shade, a pastel take on Hublot’s groundbreaking orange ceramic — alongside mint and petrol blue. For the first time a Big Bang 33 mm is launched without diamonds, giving the model a considerably cleaner, sportier expression. Instead the colour takes focus, from dial and case to bezel and rubber strap. At the same time there is a Big Bang Unico 42 mm Titanium Peach Ceramic, where the peach ceramic is paired with a titanium case and Hublot’s Unico chronograph movement (around USD 24,000). The combination gives a technical feel while keeping the weight low.

Colours you can change

All models come with Hublot’s well-liked One Click system, which lets the wearer quickly swap between the included rubber straps in pink, mint green, and sky blue. That means the same watch can easily change its character depending on the occasion — fitting for the Big Bang line’s modern personality.

Hublot keeps leading the way

It is easy to get caught up in the bold colours, but the most impressive thing is really the technology behind them. Coloured ceramic is considerably more complex to produce than traditional ceramic, and Hublot keeps staying several steps ahead of many competitors when it comes to material development. Big Bang Summer 2026 shows that Hublot does not just follow trends — it creates them. For anyone who appreciates modern luxury watches with a strong identity, this is without doubt one of the year’s most interesting launches.
