Stepping up in Hugo Boss's range
The #LEAP is Hugo Boss's athletic line, and this reference leans into that brief with a monochromatic grey IP finish carried consistently across the case, dial and bracelet — a coherence that only works when the tone is matched precisely through every part. At 45mm with a case just 9mm deep, it sits flatter than the size might suggest, and the three sub-dials — day, date and 24-hour display — give it a purposeful, instrument-like face that the red accents punctuate without softening. The deployant clasp and solid IP bracelet give it weight and a secure fit, suited to daily wear where a buckle would be less convenient.

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.
