As we all know that the replica Hublot’s heart beats to the rhythm of the in-house Unico movement. Therefore, it is significant and important that their centre-piece collection, the Big Bang — with its solid open-worked dial — is where the Art of Fusion brand shows it off. They slimmed down the dimensions of their 2010-born Unico HUB 1242 movement this year, dubbing it the fake HUB 1280 and popping it inside a selection of smaller-sized cases. From King Gold to titanium, and some stops in between, this is the smaller and thinner 42mm Hublot Big Bang Unico Chronograph replica watch. Now let’s see more details below. 
In the pile of big and bold Hublot offerings at Baselworld 2018, you will see that it was a nice surprise to see a rare level of conservatism land on the table in the form of a more compact Big Bang Unico Chronograph — four references measuring 42mm in diameter, provided in King Gold, King Gold and ceramic, titanium and ceramic, and the titanium and ceramic model seen here. For some, one of the largest gripes about the Big Bang is its inportant presence on the wrist, and after closer test, this slightly reduced variant puts the chronograph on just enough of a diet.
You can see that the new 42mm Big Bang Unico replica watches seem that it is simply a scaled-down version of its 45mm sibling, but that isn’t exactly the case. A detailed examination of its self-winding flyback chronograph calibre reveals at least some slight modification, explaining why though its specs are the same, the new derivative movement is called the HUB1280 instead of the HUB1242 listed on the fake Hublot’s website. We have no idea that the new calibre is also thinner, permitting Hublot to trim away some excess case thickness in the process. However, this titanium version is perhaps the most understated of the four variants,, and it won’t unduly weigh your wrist down.
I have to say that I really prefer the case proportions of the Big Bang 42. It doesn’t mean that I could never pull off the 45; however, there are times that the bigger case size can be a little overwhelming on a smaller wrist. It’s easy to see the 42 coming closer to serving as a daily-wear item instead of a “statement watch” as most offerings from the brand tend to be.
This new smaller size is in part targeted at the Asian market, which has kept on demanding smaller timepieces across the board. But regional needs aside, it’s the perfect fit for the some of us who appreciate the replica Hublot’s design, but are short on wrist real estate.
