Hublot Takes MP-09 To The Next Level With 3D Carbon Case In Color

The MP-09 has always been an imposing watch within the collection of Hublot. It is the brand’s first bi-axis tourbillon, which gets center stage thanks to the uniquely shaped case that follows the curve of the wrist. This alone makes the MP-09 a masterpiece, as crafting all the different angles is highly complex. Initially, the model was launched in King Gold, black 3D Carbon, and titanium. Now, Hublot is launching an additional four different versions, all in colored 3D Carbon.

While this material was already in the first all-black version of the MP-09 impressive, using color highlights the unique pattern of the 3D Carbon even further. Hublot achieves this by solution-dyeing part of the carbon, so that the colored parts form a symmetrical pattern that runs all the way through the material. The brand is offering the new watch in four different colors, each limited to only eight pieces. Available in either blue, red, yellow, and green, do they come with matching rubber straps as well as hands and hour markers. With this, they make a profound colorful statement, all the more because the case is an imposing 49mm in diameter and 17.95mm thick.

Equally impressive is the movement inside the case. Caliber HUB9009.H1.RA is a manual wound movement with a generous power reserve of 5-days. It comes with a bi-axis tourbillon housed in a separate part of the case at six o’clock. There it performs its mesmerizing dance with a full rotation every minute for the first axis, while it takes the second axis 30 seconds to do the same. To ensure a perfect view is the MP-09 fitted with a sapphire crystal with an anti-reflective coating on both sides. Hublot placed the date on the side of the off-center subdial for the hours and minutes, which can easily be adjusted by the lever at nine o’clock. All combined does it make for a spectacular and very colorful new interpretation of one of Hublot’s most imposing tourbillons.
