HublotBig BangModel No: 421.NX.0500.VR.BER21

This Big Bang Unico Berluti Aluminio 421.NX.0500.VR.BER21 stands out because it marks the five year milestone of the Hublot and Berluti partnership that began in 2016. Released in 2021 and limited to just 100 pieces, it represents the most refined expression of their collaboration. The 44mm titanium case creates an airy, contemporary feel while the dial showcases Berluti’s Aluminio leather, treated through their signature patination process to achieve a soft metallic tone. Each dial ages in its own way, so no two watches will ever look alike.

Hublot equips the watch with the in-house HUB1280 UNICO calibre, a flyback chronograph movement admired for its architecture and reliability. The open worked hands and markers rest lightly above the leather surface and the sapphire caseback gives a clear view of the column wheel and rotor. The bezel retains the familiar six H shaped screws and the Berluti leather strap continues the tonal story with a caucciù lining that adds comfort and longevity.

At Second Movement, the pre-owned division of Ethos Watches, we adhere to a rigorous verification process where expert watchmakers carefully inspect every watch to certify its authenticity, ensuring it is not counterfeit. We also go to the maximum extent possible to ensure that the timepiece is not a stolen property and that all duties are paid. However, in the absence of any central database, a 100% verification is unlikely for any pre-owned entity in India. Nevertheless, we can still provide a provenance guarantee for watches purchased from Ethos.
