If you want the Red Magic for its impact, this is the version to buy. The vivid red ceramic case, openworked Unico-style dial, and matching structured rubber strap give this 42mm Big Bang its whole identity, while the dark bezel screws and black chronograph hardware keep the color from becoming flat. Compared with older 7750-based alternatives, this BBF execution matters because it is built around a custom HUB1280 clone with dial-side chronograph architecture that suits the watch’s skeletonized layout. The detailed description is worth reading for how those details affect ownership.
The red ceramic is the whole point here
The first thing that decides this watch is the color. This Big Bang Unico Red Magic uses a 42mm solid red ceramic case with a matching red ceramic bezel, and on the wrist that single-material look is what gives the reference its character. It is not just bright for the sake of being bright. The dark bezel screws, black crown guards, black pushers, and black inner strap lining frame the red and stop it from looking one-dimensional. If you are considering this model, that contrast is the difference between a novelty piece and a watch that still reads as deliberate, technical, and wearable.
BBF is relevant on this reference for one specific reason: the red ceramic execution is the main challenge of the watch, and this version is built around getting that color right while preserving the sharp Big Bang case geometry. That matters more here than factory talk usually does, because this model lives or dies by ceramic tone and overall visual balance.
The skeleton dial works because the layout stays legible
Openworked dials can turn messy very quickly, but this one keeps enough structure to remain useful. The matte skeletonized dial exposes the underlying gear train, while the red Arabic numerals, matching hour markers, and broad red hands keep the time display easy to pick up at a glance. The subdials are clearly framed, and the dial-side architecture gives you the mechanical depth buyers looking for from a Unico-style chronograph instead of a flat, decorative impression.
You can also see why this reference appeals to collectors who already own more conventional sports watches. A black or steel chronograph tends to hide its complexity until you look closely. This one puts the movement layout front and center. The payoff is not subtle; it is visual energy, layered depth, and a dial that changes constantly under different light.
Why the custom HUB1280 clone matters on this watch
This model is fitted with a custom architectural clone of the HUB1280 caliber, with an approximate 36-hour power reserve and a functional chronograph layout that suits the dial-side view. That is the important distinction versus older modified-base alternatives. On a fully skeletonized Big Bang, the movement cannot hide behind a closed dial, so the underlying architecture matters far more than it would on a simpler watch.
For a buyer deciding between this and a cheaper route, that is the practical argument. You are not only paying for the red case. You are paying for a movement presentation that better matches what the watch is trying to be: an open, mechanical, highly modern chronograph with visible operation and proper visual depth. The custom clone also supports the reference-specific feel more convincingly than a generic adapted base ever could.
Strap, clasp, and everyday fit
The watch is paired with a red structured rubber strap, integrated tightly into the case so the profile stays clean. The ridged top surface gives it the correct Big Bang look, while the black underside tones the strap down when viewed from the side. The clasp is a dark deployant style with Hublot branding, which suits the rest of the black hardware on the watch and keeps the overall design coherent.
At 42mm, this is still a statement piece, but it is the more versatile Big Bang size for buyers who want the Unico presence without moving into a larger, more demanding case. You still get the broad bezel, exposed dial, and strong wrist presence that define the model, but the proportions are easier to live with across daily wear.
Who this Red Magic makes sense for
This is the right choice for the buyer who understands that the Red Magic is not supposed to be discreet. The appeal is the combination of a saturated ceramic case, a genuinely open chronograph display, and enough black contrast through the screws, crown, pushers, dial elements, and clasp to keep the watch disciplined. If you are comparing versions, that is where this one earns attention: the color execution is strong, the movement choice fits the design, and the visible details stay faithful to what makes the reference compelling in the first place.
Water resistance is offered as a 30m stated rating. That should be treated as the stated specification of the watch rather than a promise for swimming use.

Buyer Q&A
Questions about this Hublot watch
What sets this version apart from older 7750-based alternatives?
This watch uses a custom architectural HUB1280 clone rather than a modified standard base with decorative plates. On a skeletonized Big Bang, that matters because the dial-side chronograph layout is visible and forms part of the watch’s appeal.
What does the dial layout look like in person?
The dial is matte and skeletonized, with red Arabic numerals, red hands, and framed subdials over visible gearing. The contrast between the red markers and the darker movement background keeps the display readable for an openworked chronograph.
Is the strap matched to the case, or is it a different tone of red?
The watch is fitted with a red structured rubber strap that visually matches the red case and bezel, with a black underside and a dark deployant clasp that ties in with the other black exterior hardware.
