Hugo Boss Troper 42mm Mens Watch Black
Ref. 1514202
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 £399 across 126 Hugo Boss watches in stock.The Troper sits in an interesting position for Hugo Boss: a genuine automatic with an open-heart dial and exhibition caseback, rather than the quartz dress pieces the brand is better known for. The movement visible through the cut-out is Miyota's 82S0, built by Citizen's dedicated movement subsidiary — a workhorse calibre with a reputation for running quietly and reliably for years without much attention. At 42mm across and 12.3mm thick, it wears with some presence without becoming a statement about size. The sunray-finished black dial keeps the exposed mechanism from reading as busy, and the integrated bracelet — sized to fit wrists between 150mm and 205mm via link removal — sits flush with the case in the way that integrated designs require proportional commitment to pull off. At 162g, you are aware of it on the wrist, though not uncomfortably so. The deployant clasp makes daily fastening straightforward.

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?
Yes. At 100m it is rated for swimming and snorkelling, though not for diving.
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. It is automatic — the motion of your wrist winds it, and there is no cell to replace.
Quartz, automatic and solar comparedWhat size strap does it take?
21mm. 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.
Cheapest place to buy
Goldsmiths is the only UK retailer we track stocking this reference, so there is nothing to compare it against today.
