Hugo Boss Strike Chronograph Mens Watch 41mm Blue
Ref. 1514240
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 Strike sits in familiar territory for Boss — a city chronograph that looks the part on a cuff without requiring anything of its owner beyond pressing two buttons. The blue bezel carries a tachymeter scale that most wearers will never use, but it does useful work visually, framing the textured dial and pulling the three sub-dials — 24-hour display, elapsed minutes, running seconds — into a legible layout. The date sits neatly between four and five, clear without crowding the dial. On the wrist, 41mm in steel reads as a confident everyday size: substantial enough to register, not so large it catches a sleeve. The H-link bracelet and push-button deployment clasp hold the watch flat and secure, and the mix of polished and matte finishing keeps the whole thing from reading as either too dressy or too casual for an office context.

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.
