Pre-Basel: Hublot Classic Fusion Extra-Thin Skeleton

www.watchtime.com | watches  | Pre Basel: Hublot Classic Fusion Extra Thin Skeleton | hublot skelteon 165

For Baselworld, Hublot presents something new for the brand: an extra-thin Classic Fusiuon skeleton watch. The 45mm watch is equipped with a new movement just 2.9mm thick, developed by Hublot. It comes in a fully skeleton-worked version that puts the escapement and balance wheel on display. The dial side features small seconds at 7 o’clock. UPDATED: U.S. prices added.

In a nod to the brand’s history, the hands match those of the very first Hublot watches. With a 90-hour power reserve and 50-meter water resistance, this piece is available in two versions, one in titanium, limited to 1000 pieces, and the other in 18k King Gold with 500 pieces.

The retail prices are $16,400 for the titanium model and $33,700 for the gold version. Additional technical information appears below the images, which may be enlarged with a click.
