Hugo Boss 1530378 Grail Skeleton Multifunction Bracelet Watch - W45417
Ref. 1530378
Sits in Hugo Boss’s upper tier here — more premium than three quarters of the Hugo Boss watches we list, which start at £65.
Price range £65 to £379 across 106 Hugo Boss watches in stock.The Grail Skeleton is Hugo Boss's entry into the industrial-aesthetic fashion watch, built around an open-worked dial that lets the quartz movement's layout read as the visual centrepiece rather than hiding it behind a conventional face. Three sub-dials carry the day, date and a 24-hour display, arranged so the skeleton effect and the functional layer work together rather than competing. At 44mm in gunmetal ion-plated steel, it wears with some presence on the wrist, but 11.4mm of thickness keeps it from feeling unwieldy — that is a reasonable profile for the size. Rose gold-tone accents against the grey dial give it a warmer register than the case would suggest, and the single Arabic numeral at 12 sits sensibly against an otherwise baton-indexed chapter ring.

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.
