Hublot Classic Fusion Tributo in white and yellow gold

The small MDM signature sits below the hands of the Hublot Classic Fusion Tributo. In our photographs from Geneva Watch Days in September, the three letters are visible on both the white and yellow gold versions. They refer to the name under which the first Hublot was introduced.

The two gold versions

The white gold watch has a polished black onyx dial, which picks up reflections across its surface in the photographs. Black-plated titanium screw heads stand out against the pale metal of the bezel. Hublot specifies black tungsten for this version’s openworked H-shaped rotor, visible through a sapphire caseback.

On the yellow gold watch, our closer photographs show the brushed surface of the bezel surrounded by a narrow polished edge. Light catches that edge and the angular sides of the lugs, while the titanium screw heads remain clearly visible against the gold. The hands and MDM lettering continue the gold colour across the black dial. This version has a 22k yellow gold rotor.

Both cases are 18k gold, measuring 38 mm across and 9.5 mm thick. The open space around the hands makes the bezel particularly noticeable in the photographs. With no hour markers on the dial, its twelve screws provide the hourly reference points outside the black surface. The date occupies a small window at three.

MDM Genève and the first Hublot

Carlo Crocco introduced the original Hublot under the MDM Genève name at the Basel Fair in 1980. Its gold case and black rubber strap established the combination revisited here, forty-six years later. The original’s case measured 36 mm.

The ribbed rubber strap meets exposed lugs at either end of the new case. Hublot has left out its One Click strap-change system, a decision the brand attributes to keeping the construction close to the original. The Tributo’s self-winding HUB1711 replaces the original watch’s quartz movement and supplies approximately 50 hours of power reserve.

MDM also refers to Crocco’s Main Dans la Main Foundation, founded in 1998. Hublot says it will donate CHF 100,000 to the foundation, whose work supports humanitarian and educational projects for vulnerable children and communities.

Both versions are offered through selected Hublot points of sale and hublot.com. Hublot lists each at CHF 25,000, EUR 30,200, USD 30,900 or GBP 23,600.
