Stepping up in the same colour and case shape
The #WILD collection sits at the louder end of Hugo Boss's output — this is Boss's HUGO line, which pitches itself at streetwear rather than the boardroom, and the brief here was clearly scale and graphic impact over restraint. The result is a 46mm case that wears exactly as large as it sounds, stacked with a layered black dial that arranges weekday, date and 24-hour displays across two sub-dials with red accents providing the only colour against an otherwise all-black face. On the wrist it reads as intentional provocation — the dial composition is busy in a way that suits the aesthetic, and the raised-edge leather strap keeps the whole assembly sitting firmly rather than shifting. The red detailing is subtle enough to anchor the dial without overwhelming it, and the layering gives depth that a flat single-level face at this size would struggle to hold.

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 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?
15mm. 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.
Cheapest place to buy
