I’m not sure I can name a more divisive watch on the planet than the Hublot Big Bang. Truly, you either love ‘em or hate ‘em, and there’s just no getting around it. Personally, I love ‘em. They’re big, dumb (in the best way), wildly fun, and totally unapologetic in a way few other watches are or even aspire to be. They’re also twenty years old, and Hublot knows that’s worth celebrating.

Over the last two decades, the Hublot Big Bang has found itself all over the place, from the wrists of White Lotus Resort guests in Thailand (could there be a more perfect choice for Saxon Ratliff?) to the oversized clocks held up on the sidelines of the World Cup and everywhere in between. Genuinely, if I had to guess, I’ve probably seen more Hublot Big Bangs in the wild over the last two decades than just about any luxury watch besides Rolex, Omega, or Cartier.

Of course, the Big Bang has actually seen a fair amount of evolution in the twenty years since its introduction, with the Big Bang Unico sitting at the fore these days. Still, an anniversary like this one is an opportunity to look back, and Hublot is doing just that, blending the look of the Big Bang Unico and Big Bang Original into a series of five special anniversary edition watches. This apt fusion (after all, fusion is what Hublot is all about) takes inspiration from the whole history of the Big Bang and synthesizes it all into this: the Hublot Big Bang 20th Anniversary.

What the five models have in common are a 43mm case size, 13.20mm case thickness, 100 meters of water resistance, MHUB1280 movement, and a general layout and look which includes lume-filled hands and numerals, a checkerboard dial, structured rubber strap, and classic Big Bang shape. Where the watches differ is in material. The watch is, as I said, available in five configurations: Titanium and black ceramic, 18k King Gold and black ceramic, polished red ceramic, microblasted and polished black ceramic, and Magic Gold.

Overall, these feel like a fitting tribute to the last several decades of the Big Bang, and should offer something for everyone looking to celebrate. The limited edition pieces range in edition size from 100 to 500 pieces, depending on material, and range in price from $20,800 to $40,500 and are available now. Hublot
