KIH introduces the Hublot Classic Fusion AeroFusion Chronograph Black Magic, reference 525.CM.0170.RX, offering a detailed hands-on review. This article delves into the watch's aesthetic appeal, technical specifications, and wearability, providing valuable insights for collectors considering this distinctive Hublot model. KIH's observations highlight the watch's blend of classic design elements with modern Hublot aesthetics.
I think the watch line represents a logical progression for Hublot. A new piece with very recognizable Hublot DNA. I have not yet seen one up close, but am most interested to see the case. I imagine the watch has a more solid feel than a typical Big Bang or King Power, which has a modular feel for me.
.. I tend to get frustrated and irritated by the "modular" feel of chrono, but during my time with this at the boutique, I didn't feel or see that. Comparing with Unico may make you realize the difference, but I believe this one is made well for a modular type chrono. Let me know what you find out when you encounter this model. Thanks! Ken
And not the movement specifically. "Modular" with the Big Bangs and King Powers - for me, the case design with the kevlar covered sidewalls and exposed strips of case metal at top and bottom. Of course, part of the design mantra is to make it appear the strap "passes through the case". But I prefer an all metal sidewall, and hence why I feel the Classic Fusion will have a more solid feel.
to the newest big bang unico all black aero model? I know to the trained eye the differences but too close for me. It would be good to see a pic of the two together, the matt may help hide the similarities better. Nice report and thanks for the pics. Cheers Steve
... I don't have the side-by-side pic of both models but let's see the comparison here (note that Hublot Big Bang Unico is not All Black as you referred to, but I believe the dial design is the same). Side-by-side with Big Bang Ferrari which has the same movement and quite similar dial as Big Bang Unico All Black. May look similar, but notice: 1. Classic AeroFision has rather symmetrical dial with open work. Date disc is vertical from the center of the dial because the window is at 6h. 2. Unico
enthusiast and owner I've begun to lose the passion due to the repetition of the same format. However the innovation and new unico movement might temp me to buy another version of the new bigger bang when I see a model I like. Has not happened yet, but with all the combinations; there's bound to be one. Cheers Steve
