Hublot's third Big Bang UNICO SORAI luxury replica watches is inspired by an African sunset
In 2023, Swiss Hublot will launch a new limited edition 44mm wide Big Bang UNICO x SORAI, the third in an ongoing collaboration between Hublot and the company of one of its brand ambassadors, former cricketer Kevin Peterson . Hublot is a brand that relies heavily on strong relationships with brand ambassadors. This isn't the first time Hublot has produced watches designed to support the projects and passions of its inner circle of loyal brand friends. Many of the replica watches for sale are good looking, including this one, model 421.FX.8099.NR.SOA23, which has a gray ceramic case with dial colors inspired by South African sunsets and funky orange and purple camouflage style strap.
SORAI stands for Save Our Rhino Africa India, and as the name suggests, the organization's goal is to support efforts to protect the rhino, a critically endangered species. Interestingly, SORAI is not a charity, but more of a fundraising organization. SORAI, for example, seems to aim to create items like this limited-edition Hublot watch and other items to raise money for the "Save the Rhino" cause. For now, according to the SORAI website, most of the money appears to be going to CARE FOR WILD, a large animal sanctuary dedicated to rhinos. SORAI, as a brand, has polished it up nicely, with a handsome geometric rhinoceros logo on the small seconds dial at 9 o'clock.
The 44mm-wide Big Bang UNICO case is crafted from matte gray ceramic, no doubt inspired by the skin tone of a rhino (in an animal-safe way, of course). The case is 14.5 mm thick and water resistant to 100 meters, with sapphire crystal on the dial. The semi-skeleton dial opts to use a sunset gradient only on the hour markers, adding to the captivating color palette in a subtle and playful way.discount replica watch
Inside the Big Bang UNICO is Hublot's in-house automatic movement, the MHUB12800 UNICO 2 movement. This appears to be an upgrade over the previous generation of UNICO automatic chronographs, but I'll investigate more details later. The 12 hour column wheel control now has a flyback, which I don't seem to recall was always part of the original UNICO package. The movement includes a 30-minute chronograph, time and date complications. It runs at 4Hz, has a power reserve of 72 hours, and is composed of an impressive 354 parts.
Hublot equipped the 2023 Big Bang UNICO SORAI with two straps – a fabric gray strap and a rubber strap with orange and purple camouflage accents. The strap can be easily removed through Hublot's efficient "one-click" disassembly system, and the strap is equipped with a black ceramic and titanium folding clasp. 2023 Hublot Big Bang UNICO SORAI limited edition, model number 421.FX.8099.NR.SOA23.Jacob and Co Astronomia Sky
