About Diamond-Set Hublot Watches
Hublot built the Classic Fusion Aerofusion line to showcase an automatic moonphase complication through an architecture that celebrates transparency and openwork craftsmanship, making the skeleton sapphire dial variants particularly dramatic showpieces. The brand's use of King Gold, a proprietary 18-karat red gold alloy exclusive to Hublot, gives the OX-reference models a warm, distinctive tone that contrasts beautifully against diamond accents, while the NX-designation titanium variants offer a lighter, sportier aesthetic at a comparatively accessible price point. Factory diamond setting on these references typically appears on the bezel and is executed to the manufacturer's own standards, ensuring consistency and provenance. Available in 45mm for those who prefer a bold wrist presence and 42mm for a slightly more refined fit, this collection appeals to collectors who want a genuine mechanical complication alongside luxury gem-setting.
What to Look For
When shopping these Hublot Classic Fusion Aerofusion Moonphase diamond references, the most important distinctions are case material and size: titanium NX references are lighter and cooler in tone, while King Gold OX references carry the prestige and warmth of Hublot's proprietary alloy, and that material difference drives a meaningful price gap between otherwise identical configurations. The skeleton sapphire dial found on the 45mm 517-series references reveals the moonphase mechanism and movement architecture directly, making them the more visually complex and typically more collectible choice compared with the standard dial 42mm 547-series pieces.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the titanium and King Gold versions of the Hublot Classic Fusion Aerofusion Moonphase with diamonds?
The titanium models carry the NX designation in their reference numbers, such as 517.NX.0170.LR.1104, and feature a lightweight, scratch-resistant case with a cool gray tone, while the King Gold models carry the OX designation, such as 517.OX.0180.LR.1104, and use Hublot's proprietary 18-karat red gold alloy for a warmer, more traditional luxury look. King Gold references generally command a higher price due to the intrinsic value of the precious metal case.
What does the LR.1104 suffix mean on these Hublot diamond references?
On Hublot reference numbers, the suffix following the movement code typically indicates the specific diamond or gem-setting configuration applied to that model, so LR.1104 identifies these watches as factory diamond-set pieces rather than plain or rubber-strap variants. Buying directly from an authorized source like Bizak and Co. ensures the diamond setting matches the factory specification indicated by the reference number.
