In 2004, the big bang hublot released has fundamentally changed the nature of the brand forever. it was more or less bankrupt before that, but there were a lot of good things too. while very much part of the modern collection, this new classic fusion 42mm ultra-thin reminds me of what hublot used to be – a dress watch brand with a smart case design that focused on simplicity and style.
the classic fusion collection isn’t new, but hublot keeps playing with it and refining it. this collection is among my favorite and feels like a “real” hublot dress watch. at 42mm wide it isn’t too small or too large. hublot makes it available in either an 18k king gold or titanium case(as photo above) and it is very much a classic hublot in design. the case is about as “ultra-thin” as you would want an hublot to be.
with a dial such as this hublot has hit upon a sweet spot, and the more glossy lacquered dial should be what people go for.
In the past 2018, hublot is offering the shiny Dial in both black and actually white. this is the first time i’ve noticed a white-dialed classic fusion and while i wasn’t sure what to make of it at first, it quickly grew on me. replica hublot offers each case with either the titanium or gold case, and i think it looks pretty sharp. hublot has very much been a “dark dialed” brand but in white i think it adds a light freshness that should not be overlooked. it is also true that the black dialed version is more classic, and more suitable for day and night wear, but i happen to think the shiny white dial, especially mixed with the gold case and brown strap is quite handsome.
one area that people tend to harp on a lot are the bezel screws. the signature “h” covered screws are functional and individually screw into the case. audemars piguet for instance ensures that the screws all line up perfectly “pointing” into the dial. hublot screws are more organically screwed in and designed to just sit where they may after being tightened. how do you think of this design?
With an mechanical movement, the cheap replica hublot classic fusion 42mm ultra thin collection represents an apex of simple, attractive hublot-style dress watch. if you aren’t into hublot at all, these will probably not do it for you, but if you have been fond of hublot for a long time and feel that the modern pieces don’t fit your personality, then classic fusion replica watches are a good choice, just as the one above. moreover, the come with rubber strap in various colors.
