Hublot Big Bang Unico Sapphire All Black Review

 

I now realise it works for so many reasons, one big one is the ability to read the time!  Lets face it, it is not easy at all on the full clear sapphire version or any of the original All Black's which unless in bright sunshine are not easy (but I am the first to point out to people that is what a cellphone is for!)!   This one is a little better as the clear hands reflect the light and give contrast to the smoky black crystal... when I say little I mean a little but it is better in lower light.

It also wins on showcasing the lovely in-house Unico movement to its full, you really appreciate the contrast with the polished parts of the movement which you just don't see so much on the clear version.

 

My only other really positive comment to make is how fantastically finished and polished the case is, you get some cool reflections on it while walking around but not being too over the top.  From a distance, you do not actually realise that it is crystal as it has the look of the black ceramic polished cases, it is only when you are close that you see how truly special it is.   I am still amazed at the price they have been able to produce this and the clear Sapphire Unico.
