Hugo Boss Troper Chronograph Quartz 44mm Mens Watch Blue
Ref. 1514069
Sits in Hugo Boss’s upper tier here — more premium than three quarters of the Hugo Boss watches we list, which start at £65.
Price range £65 to £379 across 127 Hugo Boss watches in stock.The Troper sits in the Boss catalogue as a sport-influenced chronograph that leans into presence rather than restraint — at 44mm and with a tachymeter bezel, it reads as a tool watch in the fashion-house idiom. The navy sunray dial gives it more depth than a flat colour would, shifting between dark and luminous depending on the angle of light, and the diamond-cut sub-dial indices pull that effect through to the smaller registers. On the wrist, the 11.2mm case depth keeps it from feeling as imposing as the diameter suggests, and it wears comfortably beneath a casual cuff. The date window sits in an unconventional position between four and five o'clock, which frees the lower half of the dial from the clutter that mars many chronographs at this size. Crown protection built into the case flanks is a small but practical touch that repays notice once you are wearing it regularly.

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 comparedWhat size strap does it take?
22mm. 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 men's.
