Stepping up in the same colour and case shape
The #FIRST collection is Hugo Boss's all-black line, built around the idea that no part of the watch should interrupt the monochrome. Ionic plating rather than paint or coating gives the case and bracelet a harder, more consistent finish than standard black PVD, and at 43mm the proportions sit squarely in the centre of what the format demands — large enough to read as intentional on the wrist, not so large it tips into costume. The red seconds hand is the one concession to contrast, and against the matte black dial and grey batons it lands sharply. At roughly 8 to 9mm deep, this wears closer to a dress watch than most pieces at this width, which helps it sit under a shirt cuff when the occasion calls for it.

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.
