Hugo Boss 1530431 Dive Black IP Bracelet Watch - W45444
Ref. 1530431
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 102 Hugo Boss watches in stock.The #Dive collection is Hugo Boss's answer to sport-influenced dressing — watches that carry the visual language of diving without the engineering commitment. This one takes that idea to its logical extreme: black IP over the case, black IP over the bracelet, gold hands cutting through a multi-eye dial that gives the day, date, and a 24-hour indicator at a glance. At 11.3mm across a 44mm case it wears with some presence, which suits the aesthetic — this is not a watch trying to disappear under a shirt cuff. The deployment clasp adjusts to fit wrists between 160mm and 210mm, and the SII quartz movement inside, made by Seiko's instruments division, will run for around three years before the battery needs attention.

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.
