After setting the tone with its sought-after Essential Grey editions, Hublot now shifts the dial. This time, to taupe. Say hello to Volume IV: the new Classic Fusion Essential Taupe, released in two sizes: 42 mm and 45 mm. These two online-exclusive mark the fourth edition in Hublot’s Essential monochrome series. As with its predecessors, the Essential Taupe is a collector’s milestone.
Both the 42 mm and 45 mm models feature a polished and satin-finished titanium case and bezel, a sunray taupe dial and an eye-catching strap that fuses rubber and fabric in matching tones. Two signature elements of the Essential collections stand out: a distinctive woven thread unique to the strap and the tone-on-tone aesthetic with its unmistakable monochrome look. Beneath the anti-reflective sapphire crystal ticks a self-winding movement, offering up to 48 hours of power reserve and 5 ATM water resistance. Each timepiece features all the hallmarks of a genuine Classic Fusion: a bezel featuring six functional screws with H-shaped heads, three central hands and a discreet date window.
