Stepping up in the same colour and case shape
A large-dialled chronograph with a sunray black dial — the kind that shifts from near-matte to a deep lustre as the light catches it at different angles — on a mock crocodile-grained leather strap that reads as dressed up without demanding a formal occasion. At 45mm across but only 11.8mm thick, it carries its size better than most chronographs at this diameter, sitting flatter on the wrist than the subdials and tachymeter ring might suggest. The stick indices keep the dial uncluttered despite the chronograph architecture, which is the right call at this scale: more detail would have crowded it. At around 72 grams it wears lightly for its footprint, and the tang buckle is straightforward to live with day to day.

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?
Showering yes, swimming no. 50m covers splashes and brief immersion, but a swimming stroke generates well above the pressure that figure describes.
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 comparedIs it a men's or women's watch?
Listed as men's.
Has the price changed recently?
It's currently at its lowest recorded price since we began tracking it. It's ranged between £179 and £249, today it's £179.
