Today we can preview an interesting new model to come from Swiss watch maker Hublot in 2012 – the King Power Unico GMT Watch. Featuring a new in-house developed movement, the watch showcases in a new innovative way 24 timezones on the dial.

“The four GMT discs move with the main time. Using the little red lines and city names around the bezel and inside of the dial you can tell the time in each of the 24 hour time zones. Neat right? I like the novel approach that combines a little Hublot, a time honored complication, and what feels like some Urwerk inspiration given a dial that looks like the satellite time display on the UR-103 series.

The King Power Unico GMT watch will come in a 48mm wide King Power case in either 18k king gold or in black ceramic. Both versions have ceramic bezels. Inside the watch is the Hublot caliber HUB 1220 automatic GMT movement with 72 hours of power reserve. Notice the placement of the main time adjustment pusher placed at about 2 o’clock on the case.”

A release is scheduled for early 2012, so keep your eyes open for these to turn up.

Swiss watch maker Hublot has collaborated with the EPFL (Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Lausanne) over the last three years to develop new high tech materials for their watches. The first one is being revealed in their new Hublot Magic Gold watch. By fusing 24 karat gold with new high tech materials, they achieved a new type of 18 karat gold that is completely scratch resistant, creating a new type of noble gold. Here above the new material is shown on their Big Bang watch.

The first watches using Magic Gold by Hublot will be presented at Basel World 2012.

After the tribute to the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, Swiss watch maker Hublot pays tribute to the last race of the F1 season. Hublot presents the new F1 King Power Interlagos in tribute to the land of samba and the famous São Paulo circuit (famous because, unlike other courses, it runs anticlockwise), available in a limited edition of 250 numbered pieces. Next to the ceramic bezel, the watch also features a mixed leather/NOMEX strap. The high tech materials used on the watch, perfectly fit the partnership with the F1.

As the Official Watchmaker of Formula 1 and at the occasion of the penultimate Grand Prix of the 2011 FIA Formula One World Championship, Hublot reveals the new F1 King Power Abu Dhabi. This exclusive limited edition of only 250 pieces has been especially designed in recognition to the Yas Marina Circuit which is considered as one of the most technologically advanced circuits in the world. Technically advanced materials have been chose both for the watch case and strap. We really like the color scheme of the watch with its overall black look, yet acqua accents.

One day prior to the 2011 Formula 1 Japanese Grand Prix, Round 15 of the FIA Formula One World Championship, Hublot reveals the new F1 King Power Suzuka watch.

Combined with a stately F1 logo and impactful colors, the F1 King Power Suzuka features several unique aspects made from an array of high-tech materials directly inspired by Formula 1, including the ceramic bezel with a circular-grained satin finish adorned with multiple holes to represent a high performance brake disk and a strap made from rubber and Nomex, a synthetic fiber developed by Dupont De Nemours, used to make the suits worn by F1 drivers. This model is offered as a limited edition of up to 250 pieces.

Last night Hublot unveiled the 100-piece limited edition Liberty Bang at this year’s ceremony of the Liberty Medal. “This special timepiece is made of a 45 mm black ceramic case and bezel housing an automatic movement. Its black dial features the inspirational words from United States Founding Fathers about The Constitution. The phrases are inscribed through innovative laser technology in the U.S.A. colors of red, white and blue.”

This year, Hublot will be revealing their new Chukker Bang watch at the Polo Gold Cup in Gstaad. Inspired by the world of polo and in conjunction with polo player Facundo Pieres, the Chukker Bang is a 44mm Big Bang watch, equipped with a titanium grill, affixed to its bezel, in order to further protect the sapphire crystal. The grill can be removed though and put back on when needed. Only 500 numbered pieces of the watch will be produced and it also comes in a version with a diamond encrusted grill.

Ever since the announcement of Dwyane Wade being one of the new brand ambassadors of Swiss watch maker Hublot, it was only a matter of time before a limited edition model with the basketball player would be presented.

Well, the time has come. Today we can show you the new Hublot King Power ‘Dwyane Wade’ Edition. The watch comes in a black/red Miami heat theme, including including a red chrono-pusher, red outer bezel flange, and matching subdials, all of which set-off nicely against the 48mm bead-blasted black ceramic case. The leather/rubber strap is also interesting and works well with the overall design of the watch.

Limited to 500 pieces, the watch will be released soon.

For Only Watch 2011, the most prestigious watch brands out there create some interesting special editions. Hublot contributes a red version of its all new Oceanographic 4000 diving watch. The case is entirely made of carbon fibre and accents are set in bright red, matching the red exotic leather watch strap.

Take a further look at the watch after the jump.

In association with the Oceanographic Museum of Monaco, Hublot unveils a diver’s watch able to withstand the pressure exerted at a depth of 4,000 metres. For the first time, the famous Oceanographic Museum of Monaco, with the Institut Océanographique Fondation Albert 1st Prince de Monaco, has agreed to be associated with a watch. The watch will be officially revealed in Monaco today.

“Starting with its seal, tested by Hublot in a Roxer tank, submerged and pressurised to the equivalent of 5,000 metres. To ensure the watertightness of the watch and to resist this extreme pressure, the synthetic sapphire crystal is 6.5 thick.This is thicker than normal, but is reasonable for this level of resistance.The case back is screw-down, a sine qua non for reaching such depths. It is made of grade 2 titanium, an extremely strong stainless material.

From the brightness standpoint, the time and elapsed time measured by the flange must be legible from a distance of 25 cm in the dark. To meet this requirement, the dial, the flange and the hands of the Oceanographic 4000 have been optimised to have a larger surface area treated with SuperLuminovaTM, a luminescent material emitting a green colour in the titanium version.

The watch is fitted with two screw-down crowns (a protective measure that helps ensure water resistance by compression of an O-ring seal).The flange crown which sets the dive time is placed at the 2 o’clock position for easy access and more comfortable use.It is unidirectional, again for safety reasons, with a bayonet fitting and protected by an oversized crown guard, for extra safety and easy operation when handling diving equipment. The second crown, for winding and setting the time and date, is positioned at 4 o’clock to avoid obstruction.

Finally, the Oceanographic 4000 has a helium valve, a feature essential to any diving watch capable of descending to great depths.An essential feature when the watch is used in diving chambers, the helium valve allows gases that have infiltrated the watch during the descent to safely escape during the ascent. The valve fitted to the Oceanographic 4000 is made of stainless steel, positioned at 10 o’clock, visible from the left-hand side lug.”

All in all a very impressive timepiece and a welcome addition to the Hublot collection, which sometimes seems a little too focused on their Big Bang model.
