This Hublot Aerofusion 525.NX.0170.LR is full of subtle detailing and impressive watchmaking elements that reiterate the house's virtuosity and engineering capabilities. It strips away the dial to disclose the HUB1155 calibre inside, equipped with 42 hours of power reserve. The self-winding movement has been dressed up with vertical brushing and rhodium-plated elements. The semi-skeletonised rotor visible through the sapphire crystal caseback carries a cut-out Hublot in black, looking particularly handsome. Also, signature Cotes de Geneve and perlage pattern are present for admiration.

On the dial side, index hour markers appear suspended over the movement, coated in similar rhodium plating. The exposed date ring is another element to write home about, where all the numbers are explicitly visible. It can be read at the six o'clock window. The openwork approach also characterises the chronograph sub-dials at three and nine o'clock.

At Second Movement, the pre-owned division of Ethos Watches, we adhere to a rigorous verification process where expert watchmakers carefully inspect every watch to certify its authenticity, ensuring it is not counterfeit. We also go to the maximum extent possible to ensure that the timepiece is not a stolen property and that all duties are paid. However, in the absence of any central database, a 100% verification is unlikely for any pre-owned entity in India. Nevertheless, we can still provide a provenance guarantee for watches purchased from Ethos.
