Stepping up in the same colour and case shape
The #SUIT line is Hugo Boss's answer to a specific brief: a watch that reads as part of a dark formal outfit rather than an accessory added to one. The all-black ionic plating, applied to both the case and the bracelet, is what makes that work — there is no contrast between them, and the watch disappears into a dark suit in the way a dress watch is supposed to. At 8mm thick, it sits flat enough under a cuff to go unnoticed until the wearer wants it noticed. The black sunray dial with gold-toned hands keeps the face legible without breaking the monochrome — the hands catch light in a way the dial does not, so there is always a reading angle, and the look stays coherent rather than busy.

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?
20mm. 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.
