KIH introduces Hublot's 2016 novelties, focusing on the Classic Fusion Racing Grey series and a new integrated bracelet design. This post offers a first look at color variations and a significant design shift for the Classic Fusion line. Collectors can examine the aesthetic and functional implications of these new releases.

The 2016 novelty watches landed here and I will introduce one at a time (there are too many pics!).  Let's share what our thoughts are!


 



1. Classic Fusion Racing Grey - 45mm, 42mm, 38mm, 33mm
There were black, white, blue, and now this is grey.  Simple.  But added color variation is welcome.

Titanium Racing Grey Series:





Titanium Racing Grey 521
Diameter 45mm
Thickness 13.05mm
Chronograph
521.NX.7071.LR




Titanium Racing Grey 511
Diameter 45mm
Thickness 10.95mm
511.NX.7071.LR




Titanium Racing Grey 542
Diameter 42mm
Thickness 10.40mm
542.MX.NX.7071.NR

2. Classic Fusion Bracelet series.
Classic Fusion with bracelet is nothing new, but this is "integrated bracelet" - look at the lug area.  There is no screw to change the strap, so this will not accommodate leather strap.  Only bracelet!




Titanium Bracelet
Diameter 45mm
510.NX.1170.NX




The bracelet is integrated to the case.




Titanium Bracelet
Diameter 38mm
568.NX.1170.NX





 


So, did you find anything you like from this new relatively simple Classic Fusion series?

More to come, and stay tuned!

Ken

Because i see a difference in the color, or is it the polishing on the sides and the brushing on the center? I really, really like them, especially the 38 mm size, but i would have left the screws on the bracelet. it's almost a trademark, thus it would have enabled a customers to buy a strap (maybe for the summer). You have a lot of stuff to show us

Perhaps due to the lighting, it may look different. The center piece is brushed, and the side pieces are polished. I know the missing "H" screws may be controversial but this is their new direction - to have bracelet only version..... Thanks! Ken

Legibility doesn't seem to among the best, but looks to be good enough.
