Exactly 3 years ago at the end of autumn 2011, the Hublot brand caused quite a stir in the watch industry when it unveiled a “new” gold: Magic Gold. Produced in-house, the material has a slightly brown tone, is harder and more scratch-resistant. It adorns the large bezel dotted with 6 black PVD-coated titanium screws on a 45mm black ceramic case. Its honey hue matches the colour of the Super-LumiNova® indices, the openwork hour and minute hands (centre), the rim of the small seconds (at 9 o’ clock) and chronograph minute totaliser (at 3 o’ clock). The red minute track on the chapter ring around the black skeleton dial echoes the tip of the chronograph hand and the minute counter graduation. The latter surrounds the discreet grey date display. The self-winding HUB 1242 chronograph calibre brings the timepiece to life. Price upon request
