About This Watch

The Hublot Classic Fusion Aerofusion Chronograph Titanium takes the open-worked dial concept and applies it to a full chronograph, creating a visually stunning timepiece that reveals its mechanical soul while maintaining the Classic Fusion's signature elegance. The 45mm titanium case provides a generous stage for the skeletonized display, with the HUB1155 automatic chronograph caliber partially visible through the multi-layered dial architecture. The "Aerofusion" designation denotes this specific open-worked dial treatment, where portions of the dial are removed to create windows into the movement below while retaining enough structure for practical time-reading with applied indices and luminous hands. The chronograph subdials are integrated into the skeletal framework, with the running seconds at 9 o'clock and 30-minute counter at 3 o'clock blending seamlessly with the exposed movement components. At 13.5mm thick, the case manages to house the chronograph caliber without becoming excessively bulky, maintaining the Classic Fusion's reputation for slim, comfortable wearing. The titanium construction keeps weight to a manageable 108 grams despite the 45mm diameter. The polished bezel provides a refined frame for the complex dial, while the alligator leather strap with rubber backing delivers Hublot's characteristic material fusion. This watch bridges two worlds — the horological transparency of a skeleton watch and the practical functionality of a chronograph — in a package that remains dress-watch appropriate. It demonstrates that Hublot's design ambitions extend well beyond the bold Big Bang into genuinely refined territory.
