Berluti's iconic burnished "Aluminio" Venezia leather is used for the polished King Gold bezel, dial, and strap. The hour markers and "Swiss Made" inscription are embossed directly into the leather surface of the dial. The leather dial is sandwiched between two sapphire crystals, revealing the mechanics of the in-house Unico movement, a feat of technical sophistication. Through its collaboration with Berluti, Hublot has developed a technique that preserves the beauty of the leather and preserves its natural color. Additionally, the Venezia leather strap, stitched with black rubber, features another Berluti signature, the Scritto motif, further perfecting the fusion of the two Maisons.

"Aluminium" is one of Berluti's signature patinas, beautifully reflecting light on the various hues of the Venezia leather. For over 40 years, Hublot has been involved not only in groundbreaking design but also in the development and manufacture of a wide variety of watch materials. This is why we were able to create a Big Bang that perfectly complements the nuances of Berluti's burnished leather.

The Big Bang Unico Berluti Aluminum King Gold is partially skeletonized. Through the cutwork on the two sapphire crystals that secure the leather to the dial, the mechanism of the Unico chronograph movement, developed and manufactured by Hublot, is visible, boasting a power reserve of approximately three days and a flyback function. This rare and contemporary Big Bang Unico Berluti Arminio King Gold comes in an exclusive case, complete with a travel pouch and shoehorn key ring featuring the Berluti logo.
