The #FIRST collection is HUGO's entry into stripped-back menswear watches — pieces designed to sit cleanly against a suit cuff or a rolled shirt sleeve without demanding attention. The brief was clearly restraint: no date window, no subdials, just a vertically brushed blue dial with grey baton indices and hands that stay out of each other's way. At 43mm it reads with presence on the wrist without tipping into sportswear territory, and the push-button deployment clasp holds the bracelet securely without the looseness that plagues cheaper fold-over closures. The blue takes on different weight depending on the light — cooler and more recessive indoors, richer in daylight — which keeps the dial from reading as flat.

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?
No. At 30m it will survive rain and handwashing, but not submersion of any kind.
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 comparedWhat size strap does it take?
22mm. 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.
