Introducing Seddiqi Celebrates Its 75th Anniversary with Two Big Bang Releases

Hublot is known for its bold approach to modern watchmaking, particularly through its famous Art of Fusion philosophy, combining precious metals, ceramics, rubber, and high-performance composites. One of its most iconic creations is the Big Bang collection, introduced in 2005, which helped redefine the look of contemporary luxury sports chronographs.

To mark the 75th anniversary of Middle Eastern retailer Seddiqi, as well as the 20th anniversary of the Big Bang, Hublot has unveiled two special limited editions created exclusively for the celebration.

Both models feature a bold case measuring 43 mm in diameter and 13.2 mm in thickness. The All Black edition is crafted from microblasted black ceramic, while the Titanium Grey version is made from polished and satin-finished titanium with King Gold accents. King Gold is a gold alloy developed by Hublot with a redder hue than traditional 18K gold. These accents appear on the pushers, crown, and screws, reflecting Hublot’s signature use of mixed materials. The watches are fitted with sapphire crystals on both the front and caseback and offer water resistance to 100 metres.

The dials showcase a stamped carbon-effect chequered pattern with distinctive Eastern Arabic numerals applied across the hour scale, subdials, and date window, reinforcing the regional identity of the editions. The Titanium Grey model uses grey tones with gold-filled numerals treated with luminous material, while the All Black version adopts a darker palette with black and grey accents and luminous-filled hands and numerals. Both watches feature openworked hands and a bi-compax chronograph display.

Powering both editions is the in-house calibre HUB1280 Unico, an automatic flyback chronograph movement operating at 28,800 vph (4Hz) and delivering a 72-hour power reserve. The Titanium Grey model is fitted with a silver structured rubber strap with a titanium deployant clasp, while the All Black version comes with a black structured rubber strap and black-plated titanium deployant clasp.

The Titanium Grey version is limited to 25 pieces, while the All Black edition is limited to just 10 pieces. Pricing is set at CHF 21,900, approximately AED 100,000 for the Titanium Grey edition, and CHF 24,900, approximately AED 114,000 for the All Black edition.
