What to know
Hublot’s Spirit of Big Bang Orange Ceramic takes the opposite route to a discreet accent: the 42mm tonneau case and bezel are themselves polished orange ceramic. A black-and-orange structured rubber strap repeats the contrast, while the sapphire dial leaves the skeletonised chronograph visible beneath the colour-blocked exterior.
The manufacturer identifies this version as reference 642.CU.0110.RX. Its self-winding HUB4700 skeleton chronograph is rated for approximately 50 hours of power reserve; Hublot specifies 100 metres of water resistance and a limited run of 200 pieces. The strong case colour gives the watch a very different presence from a conventional steel chronograph, yet the transparent dial preserves a view of the mechanism. CNA Luxury featured this reference in its orange-watch survey on 28 October 2026, not as evidence of a release that day.
