Frequently Asked Questions - Mp Mp-09 Tourbillon Bi-Axis Titanium Pave 909.NX.1120.RX.1704 HUBLOT
What is the power reserve of the Hublot MP-09 Tourbillon Bi-Axis?
The Hublot MP-09 Tourbillon Bi-Axis features a power reserve of 120 hours (5 days). This is achieved through the manual-winding HUB9009 caliber, which uses twin barrels to store ample energy for the complex movement.
Is the Hublot MP-09 water resistant?
Yes, the Hublot MP-09 is water resistant to 30 meters (3 ATM). This means it can withstand splashes and brief immersion in shallow water, but it is not suitable for swimming or diving. Always ensure the crown is pushed in or screwed down to maintain water resistance.
How do I manually wind the Hublot MP-09?
To manually wind your Hublot MP-09, turn the crown in the clockwise direction while it is in the neutral position (position 0). Continue winding until you feel increased resistance, usually around 30-40 rotations. Avoid overwinding as the mechanism includes a slipping clutch to protect the movement. After full winding, you can set the time by pulling the crown to position 2.
How should I clean and maintain my Hublot MP-09?
For regular care, use a soft, lint-free cloth to gently wipe the case, crystal, and strap. For deeper cleaning, you can lightly dampen the cloth with lukewarm water, but avoid fully submerging the watch. Do not use chemical cleaning agents, ultrasonic cleaners, or abrasive materials as they may damage the titanium surface, diamond setting, or gaskets. Always keep the crown pushed in while cleaning.
What is the case diameter of the Hublot MP-09?
The Hublot MP-09 Tourbillon Bi-Axis has a case diameter of 49 mm. This substantial size is designed to showcase the double-axis tourbillon, which rotates in three dimensions. The case thickness is 15.7 mm, giving it a bold and distinctive presence on the wrist.
How often should I service my Hublot MP-09?
Hublot recommends a complete service every 3 to 5 years to ensure optimal performance and longevity. This includes disassembling the movement, cleaning, replacing worn components, and re-lubricating. Regular servicing also verifies water resistance and checks the integrity of the gaskets. Always use an authorized Hublot service center for professional care.
Are spare parts available for the Hublot MP-09?
Yes, genuine spare parts for the Hublot MP-09 are available exclusively through Hublot authorized service centers. As a high-end Swiss luxury watch, only certified technicians have access to original components, ensuring the movement and finish meet exact factory specifications. You can request a quote for any replacement part during a service appointment.
Is the Hublot MP-09 battery-operated?
No, the Hublot MP-09 is mechanical, not battery-operated. It uses a manual-winding tourbillon movement (caliber HUB9009). This means it requires regular winding by hand to operate. The movement’s power reserve of 5 days allows the watch to continue running for nearly a week after a full wind, making a battery unnecessary.
What is the significance of the 'Bi-Axis' tourbillon?
The Bi-Axis tourbillon is a standout feature of the MP-09. Unlike a conventional tourbillon that rotates on one axis at a fixed speed, the MP-09’s tourbillon rotates on two perpendicular axes, driven by a spherical differential. This double rotation compensates for rate variations caused by gravity in multiple planes, resulting in greater chronometric accuracy and an exceptional visual spectacle.
Can I wear the Hublot MP-09 while swimming?
The Hublot MP-09 has a water resistance rating of 30 meters (3 ATM), which is not suitable for swimming. Prolonged submersion, water pressure, and movement in water can compromise the seals and gaskets, potentially causing moisture ingress and damage. You can wear it during daily activities, but avoid contact with water, and always protect it from sudden temperature changes and high humidity.
