The watchmaking house Hublot has just made a big splash with the launch of its new Classic Fusion Essential Grey. This model with its sleek and elegant style sports a monochrome grey look that is likely to appeal to both collectors and lovers of beautiful watches. Discover all the details of this creation that could well become the brand's new benchmark.
A minimalist design that hits the mark
The Classic Fusion Essential Grey stands out with its resolutely refined aesthetic. The titanium case, available in 42 mm and 45 mm, subtly plays on the contrasts between brushed and polished surfaces.
The sunray grey dial is perfectly matched by the vertically brushed bezel, adorned with the brand's six iconic screws. The applied indexes and baton hands add an extra touch of sophistication.
Two sizes for all wrists
Hublot offers its new Classic Fusion in two distinct diameters:
Both watches share the same general design, but differ slightly in movement and date positioning.
Tailor-made movements
Under the hood, we find two different calibers based on the Sellita SW300-1a:
The main difference is the addition of a module on the HUB1112 that allows the date to be positioned closer to the edge of the dial. A detail that preserves the visual balance of the watch.
An integrated bracelet that creates an illusion
The Classic Fusion Essential Grey is equipped with a grey textured rubber strap. Its appearance is reminiscent of a titanium mesh bracelet, bringing an extra touch of elegance to the ensemble.
Although some may regret the absence of a real metal bracelet, this solution offers an excellent compromise between style and everyday comfort.
An affordable price for a Hublot
The pleasant surprise comes from the price displayed by Hublot for these new Classic Fusion Essential Grey. Offered at €8,800, they are positioned as the most affordable models in the Essential Grey series.
A positioning that could attract new customers, while remaining in line with the brand's premium positioning.
The Classic Fusion Essential Grey is an undeniable success for Hublot. Its sleek and elegant design, its original monochrome look and its excellent value for money make it an attractive option for lovers of beautiful watches. It remains to be seen whether this model will succeed in establishing itself as a new essential reference for the Geneva brand.
