Hublot Classic Fusion Chrono 45mm Titanium Black 521.NX.1171.RX BLACK BLACK RUBBER

Hublot’s celebrated “Art of Fusion” philosophy is clearly demonstrated in the Classic Fusion Chrono 45mm Titanium Black. The brand is renowned for its innovative use of materials, and this reference 521.NX.1171.RX integrates a micro-blasted titanium case with a black rubber strap, a combination that has become iconic for the marque. The 45mm case features a satin-finished and polished finish, providing a distinct visual texture. The fixed bezel is secured by six H-shaped titanium screws, a signature Hublot design element. The dial is a matte black, offering high legibility for the three chronograph sub-dials and applied polished rhodium-plated indices. The black rubber strap is equipped with a black-plated titanium deployant buckle clasp, ensuring a secure and comfortable fit.

Powering this chronograph is the HUB1143 self-winding movement, which is based on a reliable ETA 2892 architecture. This movement operates at 28,800 vibrations per hour (4 Hz) and provides a 42-hour power reserve. The chronograph function includes a 30-minute counter at 3 o’clock, a 12-hour counter at 6 o’clock, and a small running seconds at 9 o’clock. The date aperture is positioned at 4:30. The central chronograph seconds hand and the hands on the sub-dials are rhodium-plated and faceted, filled with Super-LumiNova for low-light visibility. The functionality is straightforward and robust, designed for daily use and accuracy.

This specific watch is in new, mint condition with no signs of wear. It is accompanied by its official Hublot e-warranty, which is the brand’s standard documentation for new timepieces, providing authentication and service history access. Within the Hublot collection, the Classic Fusion line occupies a prestigious position, offering a more refined and versatile aesthetic compared to the larger Big Bang models. The combination of titanium and black dial in a 45mm case is a highly sought-after configuration. Its collectibility is supported by Hublot’s strong market presence and the enduring popularity of the Classic Fusion design, which appeals to both seasoned collectors and those seeking a definitive modern luxury sports chronograph.
