Stepping up in Hugo Boss's range
The #BRAVE line is Hugo Boss's most assertive direction — large, monochromatic, designed to read as an accessory as much as a timepiece. At 46mm across and only 12.2mm deep, the case is broader than most fashion watches at this scale manage to stay flat, and the result sits more comfortably under a cuff than the diameter alone would suggest. The all-gold execution — ion-plated case, matching dial and bracelet — is deliberate homogeneity rather than an accident of the collection. The sub-dials breaking the dial face keep it from reading as blank, and the 24-hour display alongside day and date gives the face more structure than a single complication would. At 168 grams, the bracelet has real presence on the wrist; this is not a watch that disappears.

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 comparedCheapest place to buy
F.Hinds is the only UK retailer we track stocking this reference, so there is nothing to compare it against today.
