About This Watch

The Hublot Classic Fusion Aerofusion Moonphase Titanium combines one of watchmaking's most romantic complications with the skeletal dial aesthetic of Hublot's Aerofusion line. The moonphase display at 6 o'clock shows the current lunar phase through an aperture, while the skeletonized dial reveals layers of the HUB1137 movement beneath, creating visual depth that draws the eye progressively deeper into the mechanical heart of the watch. The sapphire blue accents on the chapter ring and moonphase indicator add a touch of color to the otherwise monochromatic grey and silver palette, evoking the celestial theme of the complication. The 42mm titanium case maintains the Classic Fusion's signature slim profile at 12.8mm, only slightly thicker than the time-only variant despite the additional moonphase mechanism. The "Aerofusion" designation denotes the open-worked dial treatment that has become a popular expression within Hublot's range, appealing to collectors who want to see mechanical movement without the full skeleton approach. Applied indices at the perimeter provide practical time reading, while the sun-shaped hour and minute hands maintain legibility against the partially open dial. At 95 grams, the titanium construction ensures comfort despite the visual complexity. The moonphase complication adds a layer of poetic functionality — tracking the 29.5-day lunar cycle connects the wearer to natural rhythms in a way that purely chronometric complications cannot match. For collectors seeking complication beyond date and chronograph within the Hublot portfolio, the Aerofusion Moonphase offers genuine horological interest at an accessible price point.
