The Big Bang UNICO 'O Ka Mua, meaning “the first” in Hawaiian, showcases intricate Polynesian-inspired designs on its dial, including symbols of turtles, waves, and shark teeth—each element imbued with deep cultural significance. The Hawaiian Islands are etched onto the case back, creating a tangible connection to the archipelago. At the heart of this horological marvel beats Hublot’s renowned UNICO movement, a testament to the brand’s watchmaking prowess. This in-house automatic chronograph caliber boasts a 72-hour power reserve and cutting-edge silicon components, ensuring unparalleled performance. The 'O Ka Mua comes with two interchangeable straps: a classic black rubber option and a calf leather strap embossed with Polynesian motifs, offering versatility for any occasion. Limited to just 25 pieces, this Hawaiʻi exclusive commemorates the opening of Hublot’s Honolulu Ala Moana Center boutique.
