Hublot’s summer ritual is back, and this time the Big Bang has been pushed deep into pastel territory.
For 2026, the brand has built a seasonal collection around coloured ceramic, spanning Unico flyback chronographs, a highly limited tourbillon and smaller 33mm automatic models without diamond settings.
It’s a softer reading of one of modern watchmaking’s most recognisable case shapes, but the technical content remains very much in Hublot’s usual lane.
At a glance
- Hublot’s 2026 Big Bang Summer collection introduces pastel ceramic across chronographs, a tourbillon and 33mm automatic models.
- The line includes pink, mint-green, sky-blue, peach and petrol-blue executions, with manufacture movements in the chronograph and tourbillon pieces.
- Prices run from EUR 15,200 to EUR 116,000, with availability through selected Hublot retailers and online.
Pastel ceramic takes over the Big Bang case
Hublot has used its summer releases since 2017 to experiment with colour, often with Saint-Tropez as the seasonal backdrop.
The 2026 collection leans into that idea more directly, using ceramic not just as a durable case material but as the central visual language of the range.
The headline Big Bang Summer Multi-Coloured Ceramic Chronograph mixes pink, mint-green and sky-blue ceramic across the case, bezel and caseback.
The combination is deliberately bright, yet the microblasted and polished finishing keeps the watch from feeling flat or toy-like.
A matte pastel dial extends the colour story, giving the 45mm chronograph a more relaxed personality than the black, carbon and sapphire executions often associated with the Big Bang.
Two Unico chronographs with different attitudes
The second chronograph, the Big Bang Titanium Peach Ceramic, takes a more restrained path.
It pairs a titanium case with a polished peach ceramic bezel, a skeletonised peach dial and a matching rubber strap.
At 42mm, it’s also the more wearable of the two Unico pieces, though both watches share the same 14.5mm thickness and 100 metres of water resistance.
Inside both chronographs is the HUB1280 Unico, Hublot’s manufacture automatic flyback chronograph calibre.
The movement uses a column wheel, runs at 28,800 vibrations per hour and offers a 72-hour power reserve.
Hublot’s One-Click interchangeable strap system is also included, which makes sense for a collection built around colour and seasonal use.
The 10-piece tourbillon is the collector’s watch of the group
The Big Bang Summer Multi-Coloured Ceramic Tourbillon carries the same pink, mint-green and sky-blue ceramic palette as the chronograph, but turns the concept into something far more limited.
Only 10 pieces will be made.
The 44mm case combines microblasted and polished pink and mint-green ceramic with a sky-blue ceramic bezel and caseback.
A transparent pink sapphire dial exposes more of the architecture beneath, allowing light to pass through the watch rather than simply reflect off the surface.
The movement is the HUB6035 manufacture automatic tourbillon calibre, notable here for its dial-side micro-rotor.
It has 293 components, runs at 21,600 vibrations per hour and, like the chronographs, delivers a 72-hour power reserve.
Despite the pastel colouring and openworked construction, the tourbillon is rated to 300 metres of water resistance, an unusually robust figure for a watch of this type.
The 33mm Big Bang becomes colour-led rather than diamond-led
The most approachable pieces in the collection are the three new 33mm Big Bang models in Peach, Mint Green and Petrol Blue ceramic.
They’re significant because they are the first 33mm Big Bang watches offered without diamond settings.
That decision changes the character of the watch, placing the emphasis on the polished ceramic case, matching bezel, monochrome dial and structured rubber strap.
The result is cleaner and more contemporary, especially for buyers who want the compact Big Bang shape without jewellery cues.
Each model uses the HUB1120 automatic movement, which is built on a Sellita SW100 base.
The calibre has 169 components, 18 jewels, a 40-hour power reserve and runs at 28,800 vibrations per hour.

The Big Bang has always been at its best when Hublot treats the case as a place for material experimentation, and this summer collection does exactly that.
Whether in a compact monochrome 33mm model or a 10-piece tourbillon, the appeal here is direct, colourful and unmistakably Hublot.
