Stepping up in Hugo Boss's range
The #Bright line is Hugo Boss's exercise in monochrome carried to its logical conclusion — every surface, case, dial and bracelet held to the same light yellow gold ion-plating with nothing to interrupt it. At 42mm the case sits with reasonable presence on the wrist, and at under 10mm thick it does so without bulk, which is not a given for a fully-plated dress watch at this diameter. The circular-brushed dial finish is the one detail worth lingering on: it catches directional light differently from the polished case flanks, so the watch reads as tonal rather than flat, which keeps the all-gold composition from looking costume. The deployment clasp with its double push-button release is a practical note in an otherwise purely aesthetic brief.

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.
