Hugo Boss Essena Quartz 32mm Ladies Watch Silver
Ref. 1502706
Sits in Hugo Boss’s upper tier here — more premium than three quarters of the Hugo Boss watches we list, which start at £79.
Price range £79 to £399 across 102 Hugo Boss watches in stock.A neat 32mm dress watch built around the contrast between silver and rose gold — the two-tone bracelet does the visual work here, keeping a plain silver dial from reading as flat. The zircon accents on the bezel catch light without announcing themselves, which suits the proportions well. The butterfly clasp on a bracelet this width fastens cleanly and lies flush, so it does not interrupt the line from wrist to hand.

Learn more about Hugo Boss
Hugo Boss was founded as a clothing manufacturer in Metzingen in 1924. The modern company is a global fashion house, and its watches are produced under licence by Movado Group.
The watch line reflects the clothing: German minimalism, sparse dials, brushed steel, and a general absence of decoration. Movements are quartz or bought-in automatic. These are not manufacture watches and are not presented as such.
Within the licensed-fashion category, the design discipline is better than most. The dials are legible, the proportions are usually sensible, and the styling holds up rather than dating quickly.

Frequently asked questions, and things you should know about this watch
Can I swim with it?
No. At 30m it will survive rain and handwashing, but not submersion of any kind.
Water resistance explainedWill the glass scratch?
It can, over time. Mineral glass handles daily wear but will pick up fine scratches that sapphire would not.
Sapphire, mineral and acrylic comparedDoes it need a battery?
Yes. It is quartz, so expect a battery change every two to three years at a jeweller.
Quartz, automatic and solar comparedWhat size strap does it take?
12mm. Any strap of that width will fit, and on most modern watches quick-release bars make the swap a two-minute job with no tools.
Is it a men's or women's watch?
Listed as women's.
