4. Hublot Classic Fusion 8-day Power Reserve
Mar 25, 2014,10:27 AM
Classic Fusion 8-day power reserve
Elegant time, Hublot-style
This is a refined watch which takes inspiration from the codes of traditional watchmaking while displaying Hublot's trademark modernity. Part of the Classic Fusion collection characterised by softer, more classic lines, this is the Classic Fusion with an 8-day power reserve. A first for Hublot.
Just 4.40 mm thick. 209 components including 33 jewels. The brand new movement is one of the flattest in the industry, with its power reserve indicator, date and small second on the dial side. The manually-wound movement ensures accurate, reliable operation of the watch for 8 days - 192 hours - at a frequency of 21,600 vibrations per hour. The movement can be admired through the transparent sapphire crystal case-back, which reveals the beauty of the mechanism.
The watch has an aesthetically pleasing diameter of 45 mm. Its exquisitely harmonious and balanced black dial with a sunray satin finish produces subtly plays with the light and, with its baton indexes and gold- or rhodium-plated hands, goes beautifully with either King Gold (extra-precious gold containing 5% platinum) or titanium, which are the two versions available for this new model. Finally, the ensemble is completed with a strap with a deployant buckle, in black alligator leather sewn onto tone-on-tone rubber for comfort, flexibility and increased durability of the leather. Water resistant to 50 metres.
