Stepping up in the same colour and case shape

Price range £65 to £379 across 106 Hugo Boss watches in stock.

A black sunray dial against gold-toned case and bracelet is a combination that reads as deliberate rather than incidental — it asks to be worn with an outfit rather than slipped on without thinking. At 44mm and only 10mm thick, it sits flat enough to clear a cuff without lifting it, which is less common at this diameter than it should be. The date sits at six o'clock, which keeps the dial symmetrical, and the lume fill on hands and indices means it holds in low light without needing to be read at arm's length.

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 explained

Will 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 compared

Does 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 compared

What 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.
