HUBLOT SUMMER: THE ART OF PASTEL CERAMIC

17 June 2026, Saint-Tropez – Since 2017, Hublot has made summer in the Mediterranean its playground, shaping a seasonal narrative turning watch launches into full-on experiences. More than a launch, Hublot Summer is a ritual, a mindset. For 2026, it’s all about pastel ceramic. Softer tones, same high-tech edge. Sun-washed colors that hit different and a reminder that when it comes to colored ceramic, Hublot still sets the tone.

Leading the season are two Big Bang Summer models with the same color face and design: a pastel composition of mint, pink and sky blue; yet their inner mechanics set them apart, highlighting Hublot’s watchmaking savoir-faire through two distinct expressions: the manufacture Unico flyback chronograph in 42 mm and the manufacture automatic Tourbillon in 44 mm.

Blending multi-colored ceramic in tones inspired by Mediterranean shades, Hublot captures the shifting palette of summer; from soft sunrise pastels to the glow of endless sunsets. A bold chromatic composition of pink, mint green and sky-to-sea blue ceramic, in a fusion only Hublot knows how to engineer. Light yet highly resistant, the case embodies Hublot’s mastery of material innovation. At Hublot, ceramic is not just vivid colors, it is process, precision and control.

The 42 mm manufacture Unico Flyback chronograph, produced in a limited edition of 200 pieces, features a sculpted case in microblasted and polished pink and mint green ceramic, framed by a sky-blue ceramic bezel and matching sky-blue case-back. The dial blends matte pink and mint tones, echoing the soft light shifts of the Mediterranean.

The 10-limited pieces 44 mm manufacture automatic tourbillon reveals a more architectural expression, with a transparent pink sapphire crystal dial exposing the movement beneath amplifying depth, light and mechanical transparency.

Both versions are fitted with interchangeable straps in sky blue, mint green and pink, all white-lined rubber, secured by a titanium deployant buckle clasp and featuring the One-Click system for instant style and mood match

FROM MATERIAL INNOVATION TO MOVEMENT – PERFORMANCE THROUGHOUT

Since 2018, Hublot has redefined ceramic, creating the world’s first and only palette of colored high-tech ceramics, from intense tones to soft pastels, continuously expanding what ceramic can be and what it can express. As a result of multiple patents and constant enhancements, Hublot delivers a ceramic up to 300 Vickers harder than traditional ceramic, with extreme scratch resistance and lasting brilliance.

Since 2010, the Manufacture Unico flyback chronograph caliber has continuously evolved, with reworked components, optimized architecture and refined proportions. One of the most advanced integrated chronograph calibers of its generation, it integrates five patented innovations, including dual oscillating clutches, a constant-pressure minute counter system, a zero-friction ratchet blocker and a fine balance wheel adjustment system; ensuring smoother engagement, enhanced accuracy and mechanical efficiency under pressure.

The tourbillon, powered by the HUB6035 manufacture movement, elevates this vision further. Its sapphire architecture reveals the movement in full transparency, enhanced by a micro-rotor for optimized energy efficiency visible dial side and a 72-hour power reserve. Lightness, depth and precision merge into a single mechanical signature.

INTRODUCING NEW BIG BANG IN NEW VIBRANT CERAMIC HUES IN 33MM & 42MM

On this special occasion, Hublot also introduces 3 monochrome ceramics in peach, mint and petrol blue. Known for its bold, high-impact colors, Hublot ceramic now reveals a softer side. Same cutting-edge material, same in-house mastery, now expressed in summer-infused tones that feel as smooth as they look. Fresh, vibrant and effortlessly cool, these Big Bang pieces channel the lighter side of the season: sun on the skin, salt in the air and that feeling you wish would never end.

For the first time in the history of the Big Bang, the 33 mm appears without diamonds, amplifying the intensity of its monochrome aesthetic and letting color speak in its purest, boldest form. Powered by a three-hand automatic movement, these versions embrace full color with dials entirely dressed in peach, mint or petrol blue. The monochrome aesthetic extends from dial to case and bezel and continues onto the structured lined rubber strap.

The 42 mm Big Bang Titanium Peach Ceramic, driven by the manufacture Unico flyback chronograph, adds a more technical edge. Housed in a titanium case with 100 m water resistance, the color peach appears dominant, on the bezel, the skeletonized dial, hands and rubber strap.

Soft from tones to materials, yet strong in presence and resistance. Light on the wrist, strong in character, these pieces are designed to move with you, from beach to sunset, day to night.

The Big Bang Summer editions and the Big Bang ceramic editions are available at selected Hublot points of sale as well as online at hublot.com and benefit from Hublot’s 5+5 warranty, extending international coverage up to ten years.
