Hugo Boss Hero Chronograph Quartz 44mm Mens Watch Black
Ref. 1514269
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.A workhorse chronograph from Hugo Boss's Hero line, built at a size — 44mm — that fills the wrist without pretence of being anything other than a bold everyday piece. The black dial and silver case read cleanly at a glance, and the baton markers give the chronograph subdials room to breathe. The integrated bracelet keeps the profile flush against the wrist, which at this diameter matters more than it might on something smaller. Fifty metres of water resistance covers rain and a splash at the sink, nothing more demanding than that.

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 explainedDoes 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.
