Hublot Unico Perpetual Calendar Sapphire (Ref: 406.JX.0120.RT)

OK, so its not a new case and its not a new movement... but putting them together produces something magical!   


This watch did not appear in any of the official novelty releases for Geneva Watch Week, so when it was handed over to me it was a total surprise, but what an amazing one.   I am a big fan of the Unico and especially the Unico QP released last year (this was the first perpetual calendar produced by Hublot) and to me, the Magic Gold was the perfect version... until now!

I will let the pictures do the talking (my apologies for the quality as due lost luggage my camera failed to arrive, so they are from my cellphone)


And on the wrist...



As a complete package it just works so well, the lightening of the subdials from the original version to light grey and using clear sapphire dial (this one seems clearer than the previous but maybe due to light being able to penetrate further now) just makes a perfect combination with the clear sapphire case.  It also draws now your eye to the beautiful blue sky and silver moon which can be a little lost in the previous version.

Time to start saving... imagine  how perfect it would be with an orange hand wink

Cheers
Andrew

As you mentioned, the combination of sapphire case with perp cal is just awesome! Thanks for sharing Andrew, Laurent

I can only agree...

Any reason why it's not in the official release?

it was just not on their press kit release at the time. But it is on their website so maybe they thought the other new novelties were in need of a bigger announcement. But it is truly stunning! Cheers Andrew

I was pretty amazed to see the sapphire Unico last year.

Truly impressive and must be seen "in the sapphire" to get the full impact.

Its not a LaFerrari Sapphire.... now that is special

but it is somewhere between the normal version and that one... my favourite sapphire from Hublot in the sort of normal price range. Cheers Andrew

Wow, amazing! Cheers! [nt]

Do you know if the perp calendar is an inhouse movement?

Its a Unico movement

Which was designed and produced in house by Hublot since 2013. Cheers Andrew

Thank you Andrew
