Today I dip my feet in the water of luxury watch brand Hublot, and reconsider an old favourite from Zenith. While I continue to deliberate my next medium term goal between the iconic Rolex Explorer and my current lust for salmon pink dial Rolex DateJusts, I bring two more dramatically different watches into consideration. Priced around the same as the Rolexes I mentioned, the Hublot Fusion Classic is remarkably elegant and modern in design, yet refreshingly different from anything else I currently own. The Zenith on the other hand is classic, traditional and horologically more significant with its famed and prestigous El Primero movement. Decisions, decisions, but that is half the fun right? Also, in this video I unbox a special early Christmas present – a very cool racing chronograph I reviewed and was very impressed by, last year.

Hublot is an example of price perceived quality. The are expensive so people assume they are good or special, it’s a very clever marketing tactic as there are droves willing to buy them.
Nickname for the Tudor Day Date: Goldie 😛
honestly i can respect hublot, but i hate the look of them with the whole porthole thing. Zenith’s are absolutely beautiful and if it suits you, go for it over that modern oh look at me with my huge watch hublot. Especially if it will hold you over til your Lange.
I just bought that rose gold one.
Hublot is where it’s at
The El Primero is an icon but you have reviewed already one. Hublot would be more interesting. I heard they are very robust.
negative feed back is reset every 12 month…………..
So 100% feed back right now . does not mean 100% last year. Just FYI …
i currently have the el primero. i bought it back in 2007 from tourneau. all i can say is that reliability is an issue with this watch. i recommend getting warranty with it which i bought for $5k for 5 year warranty.
Zenith “independent to this day”? It’s under LVMH
Zenith is better than Hublot!
You should call your Tudor “Jason” [ ja: son ] – reffering to greek mythology – Argonauts and quest for the Golden Fleece – as the dial is gold linen…
seems like an autodromo take off with a couple extra bits thrown in. sorry.
The Zenith for me… it’s just more mesmerising to look at! And I’m a fan of Roman numerals.
Please don’t even compare Zenit to Hublot!
A different nickname might be the D-day. I know it’s a bit obvious.
Sorry, but the Hublot doesn’t even compare with the Zenith, particularly when price is taken into account.
Hublot. A garish brand if you ask me and when rappers are brand ambassadors this simply would make me run at Usain speed, in the opposite direction. Horologically questionable in my view. I’d take the Zenith over a Hublot any day. Hublot strikes me as a brand of little substance save for “if bling is your thing”. Ugh.as a conversation piece the only associated story to tell is who they sponsor and who wears the brand. Ergo you by association, become an association. Not a brand for a gentleman or thinking man. Just ghastly…
hublot is for show-off footballers. zenith all the way !
Zenith aint independent. Both Zenith & Hublot are under LVMH

I know I’m a year late but for the Day Date; how about the Double D? =))
VERY Good VID !!
Suitey
The movement looks terrible. It literally looks the same as the Forsining ripoff version of the watch but with Hublot written on the rotor. Don’t believe me go look.
nick name has to be the henry
That watch gift – horrible looking watch! Seriously who thinks that would be nice!
I like the Hublot over the Zenith. But I also like the pink Rolex (the one with the Jubilee bracelet). But I agree with you — the Hublot is like nothing you have in your collection, and as such, you will probably get more satisfaction out of it, and by extension, your entire collection. Filling a hole makes the whole collection more satisfying, in my experience.
