A very innovative watch, the Hublot King Power Tourbillon GMT  announces a first with its dual time zone indicator located at 1 o’clock in red and blue displaying your choice of time zones for the jet-setter.  The gold in this watch is unique as it is a result of a newly developed alloy known as “Kings Gold”. 

Made especially for this timepiece it contains 5% platinum and a mix of rose and white golds.  Designed as a large piece, the case measures in at 45mm and is comprised of King Gold, titanium, ceramic, composite resin and rubber. 

The dial is beautifully multilayered with micro blasted gold-dusted matte black counters and flange. The indices are gold plated appliqué with black SuperLuminova transfers. 

Protected by a sapphire crystal that is anti-reflective on both sides.  The bezel is micro blasted black ceramic with 6 relief black PVD H-shaped titanium screws.

Skeletanized hands are gold plated and coated with Superluminova.  At the 9’clock position is the Retrograde Date and at 5 o’clock you can see the Tourbillon cage powering the HUB6121 movement. 

To offset all of this opulence is a molded black rubber strap.  Power reserve is 90 hours and it is water-resistant to 100m or 10ATM.
