Hublot Classic Fusion AeroFusion Chronograph - Best of the both world?

I encountered Hublot Classic Fusion AeroFusion Chronograph Black Magic and spent some time with it to find it pretty attractive, inside out.
As reported here by foversta: ( hublot.watchprosite.com ), this model was launched at Geneva fair 2013 and got my attention immediately.

Black Magic version is new - all black ceramic.
525.CM.0170.RX





What I am impressed with is its dial - symmetric design.





The case has polished part and hair line part - both black ceramic and that is impressive, too.









Date window is at 6h and no issue here as to the legibility.









The movement is HUB1155 - based on ETA2894.  Modular type chronograph movement, but didn't see the usual "jump" of the minute hand or chrono second hand when the start/stop button was pressed.  Very well made.





With Black surrounding which successfully makes the symmetry dial design stand out, this one is very cool.  Applied index works really well.  Subdials' legibility is really near zero, but doesn't matter much in this case.









Although 45mm, this really doesn't wear big and very comfy to wear.





Very nice....





















I have no complaint about this one





Special side-by-side shot with Unico Ferrari (surely, Unico is Column Wheel chrono movement which is more sturdy, and this Aerofusion doesn't....).






I think this one has the best of both world - meaning, the low-key Classic Fusion and good looks of Aero version.  I like this a lot!

As always, thank you Hublot Boutique Ginza!


Best,
