Hugo Boss BOSSMATIC 42mm Mens Watch White
Ref. 1514212
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.The Bossmatic is built around a movement that earns its place in the name: a kinetic calibre that harvests energy from wrist movement and stores it for up to six months, so the watch keeps running through long periods off the wrist without needing a manual wind or a battery swap. The exhibition caseback lets the rotor mechanism show through, which gives the watch something to say for itself from the back as well as the front. The unidirectional rotating bezel carries an aluminium inlay in blue, a detail that ties to the blue minute track on the white textured dial and gives the whole thing a coherent colour logic without feeling coordinated in an obvious way. At 42mm the proportions are confident without being oversized, and the push-button deployment clasp means the bracelet sits consistently on the wrist rather than shifting through the 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?
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. 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.
Has the price changed recently?
It's currently at its lowest recorded price since we began tracking it. It's ranged between £280 and £349, today it's £280.
