About the Hublot Classic Fusion Aerofusion Moonphase
The Classic Fusion Aerofusion Moonphase sits within Hublot's broader Classic Fusion family, a line that fuses traditional haute horlogerie proportions with the bold material innovation the brand pioneered since its founding in 1980. The Aerofusion sub-family is distinguished by its skeletonized movement architecture, which is made visible through an open-worked dial or a sapphire display, turning the moonphase aperture into a centrepiece framed by exposed mechanical structure. Hublot produces the collection in two case diameters, 42mm and 45mm, catering to different wrist sizes while retaining the same integrated-lug Classic Fusion silhouette and the same striking lunar complication. The use of titanium keeps the larger cases surprisingly light on the wrist, while King Gold, Hublot's own 18k gold alloy formulated for enhanced scratch resistance, elevates the aesthetic into full luxury territory.
What to Look For
Buyers should pay close attention to case size, material, and dial configuration, because each combination carries a distinct character and price point: the 42mm references such as 547.NX.0170.LR and 547.OX.0180.LR.1704 suit smaller wrists, while the 45mm references including 517.NX.0170.LR and 517.OX.0180.LR.1704 make a bolder statement. Diamond-set and pave variants designated by suffixes like 1104 and 1704 command premiums over their non-set counterparts, and the skeleton sapphire dial models add a further layer of visual complexity and collectibility. King Gold references typically carry higher values than their titanium equivalents, making the material choice the single largest driver of price within this collection.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the 42mm and 45mm Hublot Aerofusion Moonphase?
The 42mm references, such as 547.NX.0170.LR in titanium, share the same Classic Fusion case shape and Aerofusion moonphase complication as the 45mm references like 517.NX.0170.LR but offer a slightly more understated wrist presence. Both sizes are available in titanium and King Gold, with or without diamond setting, so the choice is primarily about fit and proportion rather than feature difference.
What does the skeleton sapphire dial mean on the Aerofusion Moonphase?
On the skeleton sapphire dial models, the movement beneath the dial is visible through an open-worked, skeletonized layout, and a sapphire crystal is used for the dial surface itself, creating a see-through window into the watch's mechanical architecture. This configuration is particularly prominent in references such as 517.NX.0170.LR.1704 and 517.OX.0180.LR.1704, where the moonphase aperture is dramatically framed by the exposed movement.
