Just ahead of Baselworld 2016, famed watchmaker Hublot has released its latest timepiece, the Hublot Big Bang Unico Sapphire. In line with the popular transparent style taking over the watch industry, this watch features skeletal qualities alongside luxurious construction.
Raising the bar for the upcoming watch and jewelry show, the Swiss watchmaker has gained ongoing buzz with the Big Bang Unico Sapphire. Its 45mm case is made entirely from sapphire crystal making it scratch-resistant and nearly as hard as diamond. Accenting its durable case are titanium pieces that cover the rest of the construction while a see-through dial of transparent resin showcases the brand's in-house Unico HUB1242 flyback chronograph movement.
The watch is finished off with a clean and clear strap.
