Since its founding in 1980, Swiss watch manufacturer Hublot has accomplished a great deal and attracted a loyal following. Hublot means "porthole" in French and a good number of their watch cases take inspiration from this shape.

Hard to believe, but the early 2000s are already 20+ years ago! Finding exciting watches from this period can be quite a thrill. Enter the Hublot MDM Elegant Chronograph.

First off, let's talk about how comfortable this model is. The stainless steel case is relatively modest in size at 39 mm in diameter and 13 mm in height. This thin, comfy case has always been an attractive feature for the Hublot faithful.

The brand is famed for being trailblazers in rubber-strap stylings, and this Elegant model does not disappoint. The stainless steel deployant clasp is a lovely touch, too. Bold and bright, the yellow dial is alive with capabilities. 

Black subdials include a small seconds at 3, a 30-minute chronograph counter at 9, and a 12-hour chrono counter at 6. There is a convenient tachymeter scale running along the outer edge of the dial, a date window floating between 4 and 5, and modestly sized stainless steel baton / rectangle index hour markers.

As a self-winding automatic timepiece, this Hublot MDM Elegant Chronograph is driven by the ETA 2894-2 movement, which possesses 37 jewels and delivers a 42-hour power reserve.

Additional features include a screw-down winding crown, scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, and an original manufacturer water-resistance rating of 100 m / 10 atm.

From its level of comfort to its bold stylings, we believe this vintage MDM Elegant Chronograph by Hublot will make a unique addition to your collection.

Standout features: Bold, bright yellow dial; comfortably sized watch and rubber strap; convenient tach scale.
