Hublot is reprising its iconic Essential Grey collection. It is one of the Manufacture’s most popular vintages thanks to its exclusivity, a single model, a single colour, once a year, sold through a single channel.
More than an event, the arrival of the Essential Grey has come to define the Hublot year. Collectors are eagerly awaiting this moment, especially those who succeed in getting their hands on all the consecutive vintages, making up a complete set of pieces.
These collectors are rare, but some managed to obtain the Big Bang Unico Essential Grey first, followed by the Spirit of Big Bang Essential Grey. They are now looking forward to completing the hat-trick with the new Classic Fusion Essential Grey, which comes with two models.
Both come with 100% titanium cases and bezels, the first measuring 42 mm, and the second 45 mm. Both feature all the hallmarks of a genuine Classic Fusion, integrated bracelet, satin-finished bezel with six functional screws with H-shaped head, exclusive textured rubber strap, and sunray finished dial with three central hands complemented by a discreet date window.
The most discerning customers will appreciate a subtlety that they may be the only ones to see. As the diameters of the two models differ by 3 mm (42 mm and 45 mm), Hublot has ensured that they are fitted with a calibre adapted to each volume (10.4 mm high for the first, 10.95 for the second). This refinement reflects the extreme attention to detail so dear to the hearts of watchmaking collectors.
The 42 mm Classic Fusion Essential Grey beats to the rhythm of the HUB1110 calibre, which is just 3.61 mm thick, while its 45 mm big brother, measuring 4.26 mm, is powered by the HUB1112 movement.

This “made-to-measure” choice shows respect for the design and engineering, which perfectly blends the forms and functions specific to each case. In the interests of fairness, however, each piece offers the same level of mechanical excellence, with a guaranteed power reserve of 42 hours.
Hublot is writing the third chapter in the story of its Essential Grey with the release that includes two Classic Fusion models in a radiant grey, something minimalist yet striking. Discover our Hublot collection online or visit your nearest The Time Place boutique for more information.
