Hublot Classic Fusion Yacht Club de Monaco limited edition

The new Hublot Classic Fusion Yacht Club de Monaco limited edition watch celebrates the centennial anniversary of the Tuiga 15-meter class yacht. Designed by William Fife III himself, the ship was built in 1909 and, after a restoration in 1993, still sails the seas.

The watch is done in 18 carat yellow gold with usual rubber, ceramic and titanium elements. Sporting usual for the Big Bang series design, it features black carbon-fiber dial with three logos at 6, 9 and 12 o’clock, those being the “Tuiga Centenary”, flags of the Monaco Yacht Club and the famous “HUBLOT Geneve” emblem.

On the watch’s black ceramic bezel, there is also “Yacht Club de Monaco” line engraved between 10 o’clock and 2 o’clock positions. A little bit overdoing it, Hublot also decided to engrave numbers “1909″ and “2009″ on the watch’s yellow gold case.

Thankfully, the engravings are quite subtle and do not sting the eye, like it often happens with less expensive pieces of luxury, like, say, Chronoswiss Tachoscope Audi Centennial edition or Omega Seamaster Diver Vancouver 2010.

The total run is limited to just 100 pieces. There is still no info about the price.
