The Hublot Classic Fusion (ref. 542.OX.8980.RX) brings together warm-toned materials and sharp modernism in a distinctly contemporary execution. Its standout element – a matte green dial against a radiant red-gold case – sets it apart within the Classic Fusion lineup, leveraging Hublot’s flair for bold contrast.

Crafted from Hublot's proprietary King Gold, the 42mm case offers a richer, redder hue than conventional rose gold, complemented by satin and polished finishing throughout. The watch is powered by the calibre HUB1110, an automatic movement based on the Sellita SW300-1, offering a 42-hour power reserve. A flat sapphire crystal and minimalist hour markers keep the dial clean and cohesive, while the rubber strap underscores the model’s casual-luxe aesthetic.

Neither a dress watch nor a true sports reference, the 542.OX.8980.RX lands in a versatile middle zone – wearable, slim, and characteristic of Hublot’s ceramic-free, understated offerings. The green dial variant remains relatively uncommon, adding a layer of distinction for collectors seeking colour without compromise.
