HUBLOT Debuts the First Tri-Color Integrated Pastel Ceramic Complication Watch
Posted by KS Chan on
Eye-Catching Color Contrast and Bold Ceramics That Have Stood Out for Years. With a dazzling array of colorful ceramic watches flooding the watch scene, HUBLOT has proven time and again through one creation after another: ceramic is far more than a high-performance, hardcore watchmaking material — it is the perfect canvas for unleashing personality and expressing avant-garde aesthetics.
Since launching the "HUBLOT Loves Summer" campaign in 2021, the brand has released limited-edition watches every year, using timepieces to sketch out its own vision of a romantic summer lifestyle. Now entering 2026, the brand has pulled out all the stops with the all-new Big Bang Summer Pastel Ceramic Limited Edition collection, completely refreshing the playbook for colored ceramic watchmaking — for the first time blending three soft pastel high-tech ceramics — Dawn Pink, Mint Green, and Sky Blue — into a single watch. Color is no longer mere decoration; it carries the entire design melody.
In high-end watchmaking, colored ceramic is a widely recognized technical challenge. Watch ceramics are sintered from zirconium oxide powder at high temperatures, where pigment ratios and kiln firing temperatures must be precise to the smallest degree. The slightest deviation results in uneven coloring, and entire batches of raw material must be scrapped. Stable mass production of high-quality colored ceramic already carries an extremely high barrier to entry, and pastel tones — with their delicate character and even lower margin for error — double the production difficulty.
The three pastel shades selected this time are all inspired by Mediterranean summer scenery, dialing up the atmosphere to the max. Dawn Pink recreates the soft glow of a coastal dawn suffused by the morning sun; Mint Green captures the fresh hue of coastal greenery kissed by the sea breeze; Sky Blue restores the vast expanse where sea meets sky under a clear summer sky. As the three ceramic colors blend and collide on the watch case, an unmistakable sense of vacation ease sweeps over you, giving the Big Bang collection a refreshing character like never before.
Peak Sportiness: Big Bang Unico Pastel Chronograph Brimming with Energy
Within the collection, the Big Bang Unico Pastel Ceramic Chronograph is the quintessential sporty representative. The case is dominated by Dawn Pink and Mint Green ceramics, paired with a Sky Blue ceramic bezel — the layered color contrast is rich yet never cluttered. The toned open-worked dial features bright yellow hands, like the summer sun lighting up the whole composition, instantly maximizing the visual vibrancy.
The skeletonized dial design directly showcases the column wheel mechanical structure. Every operation — starting, pausing, and zeroing the chronograph — becomes an immersive mechanical performance. The watch is equipped with HUBLOT's in-house HUB1280 self-winding flyback chronograph movement, boasting a 72-hour power reserve, inheriting the UNICO series' core advantage of excelling in both performance and aesthetics. Whether paired with vacation leisure wear or everyday city commuting, it instantly becomes the visual focal point on the wrist.
A Luxurious Mechanical Work of Art: Tri-Color Pastel Tourbillon with a Floating Visual Effect
The other piece in the collection, the Big Bang Summer Pastel Ceramic Tourbillon, also features the three-color pastel ceramic combination. Its standout feature is a transparent pink sapphire crystal dial. The high-transparency material allows light to pass through every component of the movement, making the caliber appear to float in midair — a visual atmosphere that is truly one of a kind. Paired with a sky-blue-plated micro-rotor, it further amplifies the watch's colorful and romantic character.
The watch is equipped with the HUB6035 self-winding flying tourbillon movement, with a micro-rotor positioned at 12 o'clock and a blue flying tourbillon at 6 o'clock. The symmetrical top-and-bottom layout is instantly recognizable, balanced and harmonious like architectural aesthetics. As the tourbillon continuously rotates, the entire watch transforms into a unique mechanical masterpiece that pulses with the rhythm of time.
Thoughtful Details: One-Click Quick-Release Straps for Effortless Style Switching
Beyond the two major breakthroughs in color craftsmanship and complex movements, HUBLOT also pays attention to the everyday wearing experience. Both limited-edition watches come with three dedicated rubber straps in Sky Blue, Mint Green, and Dawn Pink, allowing you to switch colorways at will depending on your outfit, occasion, or mood. Paired with the brand's signature One-Click quick-release mechanism, strap changes can be completed in seconds without any tools. One watch unlocks multiple styling possibilities, precisely meeting the contemporary watch collector's desire for personalization and versatile pairing.
Deeply cultivating colored ceramic technology and developing in-house high-end complex movements, HUBLOT has always dared to break free from the constraints of traditional watchmaking. What is most touching about the all-new Big Bang Summer collection is not only the top-tier craftsmanship that breaks through industry bottlenecks, but also the way it distills the Mediterranean sunshine, coastal breezes, and the relaxed pleasure of vacation into a wearable timepiece on the wrist. When time takes on brilliant color, the romance unique to summer can now be carried with you at every moment.
