Hublot has unveiled a new iteration of its ‘Big Bang Tourbillon’ in partnership with Samuel Ross of A-COLD-WALL*. The new 45mm watch is decorated in vibrant orange and a honeycomb-like pattern that covers the strap and flanks of the case.
The watch is made with an automatic HUB6035 Manufacture movement, micro-rotor, three sapphire bridges, 3-day battery life between charges, and a tourbillon at 6 o’clock. The orange wraps around the case, highlighting the Samuel Ross ‘SR_A ‘ branding. Grey titanium accents complement the orange honeycomb hues throughout the watch, giving it a sporty finish.
Only 50 ‘Big Bang Tourbillon Samuel Ross 45mm’ watches will be made avaliable on Hublot’s website at the cost of $116,000 USD.
