Description

To celebrate the 40th anniversary of Hublot's groundbreaking watch, they reinterpret the Classic Fusion in a more contemporary key. This means a larger 45mm case size and perhaps more importantly, a proper mechanical movement. The overall look of the anniversary Classic Fusion, with its minimalist black lacquer dial, integrated black rubber strap and complex case construction, is close to the original, but as we will discover, there are a few changes.

Unlike the original with its 12 screws on the bezel, all members of the Classic Fusion family now have six H-shaped titanium screws, and two rubber details on either side of the case wedged in between the case middle and the bezel.

The contrasting finishings on the case emphasize its dynamic architecture to no end.
However, where the anniversary models differ from the other Classic Fusion models can be appreciated on the dial. The inky black lacquer dial is sleek, and like the original, bereft of numerals. The hands are faceted and the counterweight of the central seconds hand bears the H logo, similar to H applied at noon and the Hublot appliqué below. The date window is rounded and softer than the rectangular frame of the original, and the black background matches the black dial.

The Hublot Classic Fusion 40 Years Anniversary is powered by the Hublot HUB1112 automatic movement based on a Sellita SW300-1 with a 42-hour power reserve.
