This Hublot MDM Chronograph, reference 1810.B30.1, represents the early 2000s era of the brand, when Hublot’s fusion of classic chronograph design and modern materials set the stage for its later prominence. The watch is notable for its Bordeaux dial, a colorway that stands out among the more common black or silver variants, and for its place in the lineage of Hublot’s Elegant/Classic series.
The Bordeaux dial is preserved in clean condition, with crisp white Arabic numerals and monochromatic subdials at 3, 6, and 9 o’clock. The tachymeter scale around the periphery remains legible, and the white hands, including the leaf-shaped hour and minute hands, show no significant oxidation or loss of finish. Lume plots at the tips of the hands and hour markers appear intact, with no visible discoloration. The date window at 4:30 is sharply cut and the printing is clear. The stainless steel bezel and case exhibit a polished finish, with minor surface marks consistent with careful wear but no deep scratches or dings. The crystal is free from noticeable scratches or chips, maintaining clarity over the dial. The signed crown and chronograph pushers are original, with the Hublot “H” logo clearly visible on the crown. The integrated black rubber strap, a hallmark of Hublot’s design ethos, is fitted with a deployant clasp and shows minimal wear, retaining its matte finish and flexibility. The caseback is engraved with the Hublot logo and MDM Genève branding, as well as water resistance, all of which remain sharp and legible.
No specific service history or provenance accompanies this watch, and there are no original papers included. The watch is presented with a Hublot-branded box, which is not the original box for this reference but provides suitable protection and presentation.
Included in the sale is the Hublot MDM Chronograph itself, the Hublot-branded box, and the fitted rubber strap with deployant clasp. This example is distinguished by its Bordeaux dial, overall well-preserved condition, and the presence of its period-correct strap and clasp. The watch offers a representative look at Hublot’s early chronograph design, with all components as shown in the accompanying images.

Re: moskma Hi Moskma, thanks for the question. For context: when a reserve auction ends below the reserve, a negotiation portal opens between the seller and the highest bidder. From there the two parties can send offers and counter offers back and forth until they land on a price they both agree on.
MWD70 - thanks for the info. $2k is a reasonable bogey in my opinion. Was interested in it as a value play but looking at others pieces in that $2k-4k price range. Good luck.
Re: moskma Yes, there was reserve and it was not met. I would entertain offers around $2000
