Specs/Size/Design
This Swiss made Hublot is part of the Classic Fusion Collection and boasts a 45mm Titanium case, high quality Automatic movement, and a stunningly powerful design. The Analog display features stick indexes in silver-tone against a solid black dial face with a calendar date window at the traditional 3 o’clock position.
The case, stationary bezel, and the links of the metal bracelet are made of a grey Titanium, which suits the slightly lighter Titanium of the bracelet structure very well for a solid two-toned look.

Power Source
This beautiful 45mm titanium men’s watch features a quality Swiss made Hublot Calibre HUB1112 engine for its Self-Winding Automatic movement. The power reserve lasts 42 hours.
The Good
Assembled by hand, this Swiss made Automatic timepiece by Hublot is surprisingly affordable for the luxury quality materials used. Many timepieces go for around $5,000 to $6,000 and feature stainless steel rather than solid titanium. However, Hublot is no ordinary manufacturer — known for their absolute quality, this 45mm men’s watch from the Classic Fusion Collection is all titanium, all around — the case, stationary bezel, bracelet, bracelet links, and even the deployment clasp.
This solidly built Hublot is not only solid in build but incredibly attractive. If the titanium wasn’t enough already, the finish on all titanium parts are satin-finished and polished to perfection. With 6 H-style titanium screws lining the stationary bezel, you receive a look of complete luxury with a hint of industrial strength.
Water resistance is excellent as well, at 50 meters (165 feet).
With a beautiful scratch-resistant Sapphire crystal and transparent exhibition back, you can enjoy the view of the beautiful Self-Winding Automatic movement made in Switzerland by Hublot. See additional details about the engine calibre in the “Power Source” section above.
The simple and bold design that ties in the matte black dial; silver-toned hands and indexes; and the all-titanium body, bezel, and bracelet is magnificent and worth every penny.
The Bad
To even the trained eye and serious collector, you would be hard pressed to find any negative aspects or pitfalls in this Classic Fusion.
Functionality
This Titanium Classic Fusion functions like a dream. The superior Self-Winding Automatic movement is Swiss-made and among the absolute best in the world. It will keep the time with perfection down to the second.
With a power reserve of 42 hours, your Hublot will continue to tick for nearly two days until you wear it again and power it up via kinetic energy.
Since there are no subdials or chronograph features to deal with, this timepiece is simple but exceptionally functional. The three-hand movement and a single calendar date window at the 3 o’clock position makes telling the day of the month and the time of day perfectly simple, precise, and elegant.
Highlights
It is difficult to find just one aspect of this timepiece that is worth featuring specifically.
Personally, the fact that the case body, the bezel, the bracelet, the links, and the clasp are all made of solid titanium is the best feature. Other timepieces in the comparable range often do not put such effort into the construction of their watches, and typically use stainless steel until the watch value hits 5 figures and uses solid gold.
Hublot really came through with an impressive design, quality construction materials, a perfect Sapphire crystal that is both scratch-resistant and anti-reflective, and a high caliber Swiss made Hublot movement.
Pricing
The 45mm Classic Fusion Automatic Titanium Men’s Watch by Hublot retails for $8,800, but you can purchase it online for less, especially during sales and holidays.
