In 2017, Hublot introduced the world’s first mechanical golf watch. While most golf watches are digital (allowing players to map the course, analyze stats and track shots in real time), Hublot uses watchmaking mechanics to keep track of which hole is in play, the number of shots taken on that hole, and the cumulative score for the round. The new Big Bang Unico Golf Orange Carbon displays this information through three apertures on the matte black skeleton dial. Powered by the in-house MHUB1580 automatic movement, the shot-counting mechanism is activated by a yellow putter-shaped pusher at 2 o’clock, which also advances the yellow stroke counter visible through an aperture at 3 o’clock. When it’s time to move to the next hole, another putter-shaped pusher at 4 o’clock resets the shot indication to zero and advances the hole indication at 9 o’clock by one hole. The cumulative score goes up by one with every recorded shot, and is shown through an aperture at 6 o’clock. At the end of a round, the display can be reset to zero via the pusher at 8 o’clock. Crafted from lightweight orange carbon, the 45-mm watch comes on a black rubber or orange calf leather strap. Limited to 100 pieces.
