The short answer

The closest alternative to the Hublot Square Bang Unico Sapphire 42mm is the Hublot Square Bang Unico Sapphire 42mm ($26,400) — shared caliber (Hublot HUB1280) and Same family (Big Bang). If price is the constraint, the Bell & Ross BR-X3 Black Titanium at $8,400 (vs $27,600 for the Square Bang Unico Sapphire 42mm) covers most of the same brief. From the independents, the Boderry STORM - Square Automatic Titanium Watch is the standout microbrand take — square case and Looks nearly identical. Stepping up, the Hublot Square Bang Tourbillon 4 Day Power Reserve 3d Carbon 42mm ($115,000) is where the same idea goes with a bigger budget.
