Hublot Big Bang Unico Titanium 42mm 441.NX.1170.RX

The Hublot Big Bang Unico Titanium (ref. 441.NX.1170.RX) is a 42mm titanium watch, with a matte black skeleton dial and the brand's signature six-H-screw bezel. It runs the in-house Caliber HUB1280 UNICO, a column-wheel flyback chronograph, with ~72 hours of power reserve and 100m water resistance. Cazador has no verified price observations yet (n=0). This marks Hublot's first entry into Cazador's catalog. Its differential: the HUB1280 movement itself serves as the dial, exposing the column wheel and chronograph mechanism from the front.

History

Hublot was founded in Switzerland in 1980, with a then-disruptive proposition for luxury watchmaking: pairing a gold case with a natural rubber strap, a "fusion" of noble and industrial materials that gave rise to both the name of the Classic Fusion collection and the brand's founding philosophy. The Big Bang collection, launched in 2005, carried that materials-fusion philosophy into a sportier, larger case, becoming Hublot's most recognizable model.

Within that collection, the Unico line is reserved for executions carrying Hublot's in-house movement, Caliber HUB1280, introduced in 2010 as the first column-wheel, vertical-clutch chronograph designed and manufactured entirely by the brand. Reference 441.NX.1170.RX houses that manufacture caliber in a 42mm titanium case, a size between the original 44-45mm Big Bang and the range's more compact versions.

Caliber HUB1280 is a flyback chronograph with a column wheel and vertical clutch — an architecture that prevents the chronograph hand from jumping when engaged — just 6.75mm thick, with roughly 72 hours of power reserve. The skeleton dial exposes the movement's own mechanism rather than covering it with a conventional dial.

The bezel, in satin-brushed and polished titanium with the Big Bang family's signature six H-shaped screws, carries a black composite resin lower insert. With 100 meters of water resistance and a black rubber strap on a deployant buckle, this reference pairs Hublot's most recognizable visual identity with an in-house chronograph manufacture.

This is the first Hublot reference Cazador adds, extending the catalog to a Swiss manufacture founded in 1980, specialized in materials fusion and in-house column-wheel chronographs.

Frequently asked questions

How much does a Hublot Big Bang Unico Titanium 441.NX.1170.RX cost?

Cazador has no verified price observations for this reference (n=0 as of today). We do not publish estimates without our own sourced market data.

Approximately 72 hours, with a movement thickness of just 6.75mm despite integrating a flyback chronograph with column wheel and vertical clutch.

It has 100 meters of water resistance, enough for swimming and everyday wear, though it isn't designed as a technical dive watch.

How long has Hublot's Big Bang collection existed?

It launched in 2005, carrying the brand's materials-fusion philosophy into a sportier, larger case than Hublot's earlier collections.
