Popular for his outstanding performance, Novak Djokovic is a tennis athlete who’s won many tennis titles. For starters, he has the highest number of grand slam wins, which makes him a record-breaker, with 24 titles.

To put it simply, the grand slam title is always awarded to the winner of all tennis championships in a season.

Since the Hublot Big Bang Unico Novak Djokovic draws inspiration from Djokovic, it is manufactured from materials in the player’s personal collection. The casing is built from recycled materials—polo shirts and tennis rackets—which Novak used while he was breaking tennis records in 2023.

The casing has an interesting appearance, characterized by a cloth-like texture due to the lactose polo shirts. Everything that’s been used on the casing is strengthened by epoxy, glass fiber, and quartz powder to improve the watch’s durability.

As a watch inspired by a record-breaking tennis player, this timepiece is fitted with pushers that look like tennis balls.

The second hand also complements the pusher, thanks to the white and neon yellow hue. Speaking of which, the second hand is fitted with an interesting counterweight that honors the 24-time grand slam champion. Most Hublot watches have counterweights with the same design as the brand’s logo. However, the Hublot Big Bang Unico Novak Djokovic features a counterweight that draws inspiration from Novak’s official logo.

In an effort to make the watch as light as possible, Hublot opted for light and comfortable materials while designing this piece. For instance, the front face is fitted with gorilla glass—a very lightweight and durable material that’s more sturdy than regular sapphire.

Thanks to the open-work dial, which is made of aluminum, this watch has a very stylish front, featuring appealing and stylish hour markers. And when it comes to the overall performance, it is powered by the 1280 Unico movement.

The Hublot Big Bang Unico Novak Djokovic retails at $52,700.

Hublot is one of the most innovative watch brands in the 21st century. While they have found themselves on the cutting edge of the industry for a long time, their Big Bang line largely carried them from the middle of the road to a more widespread, sought-after brand by collectors everywhere. When the Big Bang line dropped in 2005, it was the brainchild of the same mind that reinvented Omega through the use of product placement with none other than James Bond. They trusted it, and customers followed through. Now, the Hublot Big Bang 20th Anniversary takes what made the original so popular and combines it with what makes the newer Unico so beloved.

“The Hublot Big Bang is undoubtedly one of the modern icons of 21st-century watchmaking," says Hublot CEO Julien Tornare. "This year, we’re not only looking back at all that Hublot has achieved through the Big Bang but also looking towards the future and all the potential it still holds and possibilities it offers. I am immensely proud of what the Big Bang 20th Anniversary capsule collection represents by bridging the nostalgia of 20 years ago with the present and future of what the Hublot manufacturer is capable of accomplishing. Here’s to the next 20 years!”
