Description
Hublot Unico
Hublot King Power Unico
Hublot 701.CI.0110.RX
With more than 2 years in research and development and ever since Hublot CEO Jean-Claude Biver mentioned the word “Unico” in Baselworld 2009, many others have been eagerly anticipating the first opportunity to get a look at Hublot’s new – and first all in-house movement. Now 2011 at the recent inauguration of Hublot’s new manufacture in Nyon, Switzerland (near Geneva), UNICO was revealed. UNICO is actually a term used to represent Hublot’s family of Calibers – what you will see below is the first of two movements slated for release in 2011.
With 330 components combining to deliver a very respectable 70+ hours power reserve, Hublot’s UNICO caliber is a flyback chronograph movement developed entirely by Hublot’s R&D (Research & Development) team, and of course it will also be manufactured hby Hublot. UNICO is designated to be part of Hublot’s new “King Power” models which were introduced earlier this year. In addition to basic timekeeping, the movement will show 60-second and 60-minute chronograph as well as the date (which you can easily see around the outer edge of the movement photo below).
