The story
The 511.NX.1171.LR is a 45mm reference from Hublot's Classic Fusion collection, the slimmer, three-hand and date counterpart to the sportier Big Bang line, first introduced in 2010 as a return to a more understated version of Hublot's original fusion-of-materials concept. Like most current silver-toned Classic Fusion models, its case material is titanium rather than stainless steel; Hublot's reference coding uses NX to denote titanium, and genuine stainless steel Classic Fusion cases, coded SX, are now largely limited to special or collaboration editions. The movement, Calibre HUB1112, is a Hublot-branded automatic built on a Sellita SW300-1 base with a 42 hour power reserve, chosen for the Classic Fusion line's simpler time and date function rather than the integrated chronograph movements used in the Big Bang Unico. The Classic Fusion's design vocabulary, exposed H-shaped screws on the bezel, a rounded case profile and interchangeable straps, has remained consistent since the collection's introduction. Hublot's original Big Bang, launched in 2005, mixed steel, rubber, gold and ceramic in one case as a statement of the brand's fusion philosophy; the Classic Fusion, launched five years later, offered a calmer alternative within the same design family.
What to check before you buy
Buyers looking specifically for a stainless steel Classic Fusion should check the reference's material code carefully, since the NX code on this and most current silver Classic Fusion models denotes titanium, not steel; genuine steel-cased Classic Fusion pieces are uncommon outside limited editions. Confirm case size before buying, since Hublot sells the same general design in 38mm, 42mm and 45mm cases with different reference prefixes, and wrist presence differs substantially between them. Because the HUB1112 is a Hublot-branded movement built on a widely used Sellita base, routine service can often be handled by watchmakers experienced with Sellita movements, though case and bracelet work specific to Hublot's H-screw bezel construction is best left to an authorized service center. As with the Big Bang line, confirm exact production years and reference-suffix meanings against Hublot's own materials before relying on third-party listings.

Common questions
Is the Classic Fusion 511.NX.1171.LR made of stainless steel?
No, despite the silver finish, the case material is titanium. Hublot's NX reference code denotes titanium; true stainless steel Classic Fusion cases use the SX code and are now mostly limited editions.
What movement is inside this reference?
Hublot's Calibre HUB1112, a self-winding movement built on a Sellita SW300-1 base with a 42 hour power reserve.
How does the Classic Fusion differ from the Big Bang?
The Classic Fusion is a simpler three-hand and date watch with a slimmer case, while the Big Bang is built around chronograph movements and a heavier, more layered case design.
When was the Classic Fusion collection introduced?
In 2010, five years after the original Big Bang, as a calmer, dressier expression of Hublot's material-mixing design philosophy.
What water resistance does this reference have?
50 meters, suitable for everyday wear but not for swimming or diving.
