Hublot Spirit of Big Bang Tourbillon 5-Day Power Reserve Purple Sapphire

Hublot follows the launch of the Big Bang Tourbillon Automatic Purple Sapphire, made from an exclusive version of synthetic sapphire, with the Spirit of Big Bang Tourbillon 5-Day Power Reserve Purple Sapphire.

The translucent purple sapphire case is a world’s first, a completely new colour in the field of fine watchmaking and it now adorns a second coveted model from Hublot – cementing its position as a disruptive force in the field of watchmaking. This new purple tint is a composite made of Al₂O₃ (aluminium oxyde) and chrome, with the case and movement blending together seamlessly.

On the Spirit of Big Bang, the hours and minutes are positioned off-center at the three o’clock position, the tourbillon cage at six o’clock, and the power reserve indicator at eight o’clock – all set against the skeletonized mechanics of the movement.

The case measures 42mm in diameter, with the movement viewable via the dial side or through a sapphire exhibition caseback. Both windows reveal the HUB6020 manufacture movement – a skeleton tourbillon which is specially designed to sit within the tonneau case. Just as the name suggests, the watch boasts a power reserve of 115 hours, as well as a five-day indicator on the dial.
