Finally arrived! Hublot Classic Fusion Power Reserve 8 Days 45mm
Having been announced earlier this year, finally Hublot Classic Fusion Power Reserve 8 Days arrived at the boutique. Well, I am sure that some had been delivered to those who reserved and simply passed displaying at the boutique
But this is the first time for me anyway and so exciting!
Another great news is that this model is NOT LE but regular models
516.NX.1470.LR
Titanium Power Reserve

Small second sub dial has rhodium plated "rim" around it and it is as always a nice touch.

While boasting 192 Hour (8 days) power reserve, the thickness is reasonable (the movement thickness is just 4.4mm)

Printed, but nicely done.
Winding for 8 days may take a while, but it's great NOT to have to worry about the power reserve for a week. Would surely like to test the accuracy with the change of the power reserve.
Doesn't look too big for a 45mm. I say, the power reserve indicator at 10 o'clock gives or adds a attractive character to the Classic Fusion line model. Simple, yet a bit of "addition" to the normal Classic Fusion.

The Sunray dial gives interesting colors depending on the angle you see it. Very nice and well made, indeed. 45mm may sound "big" but it never wears big. I have 6.5" wrist, but thanks to the thick bezel and thin body, it looks quite nice on my smallish wrist.
Sporty, elegant, both business and time-off. As with other Classic Fusion Titanium models, this one is quite attractive.

516.OX.1480.LR King Gold Power Reserve
Again, quite nice touch on the small second sub dial rim.



Now, this guy has another notch of "elegance" - I have always thought PG/BL combination is the most sexy watches 


Which would be your choice? I could live with either or both, but I am slightly for Titanium for its spartan look.

Have a great week!
Ken
