Baselworld 2013 Preview: Hublot Classic Fusion Chronograph Watch

The Aero Bang has been one of Hublot’s bestsellers since 2007. Now, this “Aero” concept of movement, seen as if airborne through the graphically open-worked dial, is available in the Classic Fusion line, the Swiss manufacture’s most classic line of watches.

This design both appeals to those wishing to admire the beautiful mechanical intricacies of the calendar chronograph, and also provides greater assurance against counterfeiting, a tendency which is continuing to grow. The motor is now showcased, rather than hidden away.

This elegant model has a diameter of 45 mm with gentle, more rounded lines, two push-buttons on either side of the crown, two counters at 3 o’clock (small second) and 9 o’clock (30-minute) and a date window at 6 o’clock, and is available in two versions: Titanium and King Gold, Hublot’s famous red gold which contains 5% platinum, giving it an intense red color and making it an even more precious metal. The piece is completed by a black alligator strap stitched onto black rubber, ensuring it is flexible, comfortable and exceptionally durable. 42 ­hour power reserve. Water resistant to 50 meters. These models are also available with a Titanium or King Gold bracelet.
