Hugo Boss Candor Mens Watch Black 41mm
Ref. 1514117
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 90 Hugo Boss watches in stock.The Candor sits within Hugo Boss's broader push to bring self-winding movements into a genuinely wearable, daily-use proposition — a black-dialled automatic on a steel bracelet that makes no attempt to be anything other than a clean, unfussy dress watch. At 41mm it falls squarely in the comfortable middle of what suits most wrists, and the deep black dial with baton indices keeps the read simple and sharp. The deployant clasp makes putting it on and taking it off straightforward enough that the automatic movement actually earns its keep — worn regularly, it stays wound without any thought.

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?
No. Wrist motion generates the charge, stored in a capacitor rather than a disposable cell.
Quartz, automatic and solar comparedIs it a men's or women's watch?
Listed as men's.
Cheapest place to buy
Goldsmiths is the only UK retailer we track stocking this reference, so there is nothing to compare it against today.
