Hugo Boss 1530429 Dive Blue Dial Bracelet Watch - W45443
Ref. 1530429
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 #DIVE collection takes its cues from dive-watch design without pretending to be one — 50m is poolside territory, and the silicone bezel inlay and blue dial with yellow accents are style decisions as much as functional ones. It is a sports-casual aesthetic worn honestly. At 44mm with an 11mm profile, the case sits broad but flat, and the three-dial arrangement — day, date, and 24-hour subdial — keeps the face busy in the way sport watches at this size tend to reward. The 22mm bracelet on a push-button deployant gives a secure fit and straightforward daily use.

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?
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.
