Hublot Classic Fusion Chronograph Arturo Fuente King Gold is celebratory blend of gold and emerald green

Talk about hand-rolled cigars filled with eminently aged tobacco and you can’t fail to name Arturo Fuente Cigar Factory. The company that is celebrating the 25th anniversary of OpusX – its finest cigars, also considered the best in the world. To mark the occasion, the cigar factory has in collaboration with Hublot created one of the most intricately designed watches dubbed the Classic Fusion Chronograph Arturo Fuente King Gold.

The word gold in the name is not just symbolic. The watch really uses King Gold in the case and the bezel. Notably the first to do it. If you are wondering how the two exceptional brands in their own niches have come together for a watch; this is surely not their first outing together. Hublot and Arturo Fuente have had numerous fruitful partnerships since 2012, which has extended beyond just watches; their collaboration has also been toward supporting charitable initiatives in the Dominican Republic.
