Hublot Celebrates 25 Years of OpusX with a Unique Timepiece

On December 3, 2024, in Santiago de los Caballeros, Dominican Republic, Hublot introduced a magnificent timepiece to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the OpusX cigar. In a collaborative effort that reflects a relentless pursuit of excellence, Hublot paired with the prestigious Arturo Fuente family, famed for producing some of the world's finest cigars. This exceptional event, held at the Arturo Fuente cigar factory, greeted by friends and journalists, marked a significant milestone not just for the OpusX but for the legacy of craftsmanship shared between two illustrious brands.

The OpusX cigar, celebrated among aficionados as one of the finest, also has a rich history deeply intertwined with the Fundación Cigar Family, established two decades ago by Carlito Fuente. The foundation supports critical educational and health programs in the local community, creating a nurturing space in the Chateau de la Fuente, where the Fuente family continues to cultivate and craft their legendary cigars. Recently, the foundation officially launched an art academy, which received initial support from Hublot in 2019, furthering its mission to empower local talents through education.

A Commemorative Timepiece

The Classic Fusion Chronograph Arturo Fuente King Gold is a splendid tribute in honor of the OpusX’s anniversary, emerging as the sixth special series crafted by Hublot for Fuente. Radiating festive gold and green, this unique chronograph makes its debut with a remarkable 42mm Classic Fusion chronograph case, innovatively designed in King Gold for both its case and bezel. The bezel also features a striking laser engraving of tobacco leaves, adding a rich narrative to its visual appeal.

Intriguingly, the watch’s dial captivates attention with its vibrant emerald green finish, complemented by a sunburst effect that transitions into a darker hue towards the edges, generating depth and contrast. Specially designed, the reworked second counter at 3 o’clock showcases a golden and green anniversary logo of OpusX, perfectly harmonizing with the crocodile leather and rubber strap.

This limited-edition watch, however, offers more than meets the eye. The intricate case back made of solid 18K King Gold reveals an engraved artwork dedicated to the OpusX's silver jubilee, hidden from plain sight yet rewarding for its proud owner.

Hublot’s HUB1153 chronograph caliber beats within this timepiece, boasting a 48-hour power reserve, a testament to modern watchmaking excellence that Hublot embodies. The attention to detail reflects Hublot's commitment to quality and luxury, making this watch not merely a timekeeper but a work of art that appreciates in value and significance.

Limited Availability

The Classic Fusion Chronograph Arturo Fuente King Gold is limited to just 50 pieces, presented in a lavish green lacquered watch box that doubles as a cigar humidor, an inventive blend of luxury and functionality.

"Building this remarkable relationship with Hublot is one of the greatest achievements of my life. I consider it a great honor and privilege to be part of the Hublot family. Over these years of incredible success, we have brought joy to people worldwide!" said Carlito Fuente in celebration of this partnership.
