Stepping up in the same colour and case shape
The #LIT collection takes its name at face value — this is Hugo Boss's urban, night-out line, and the combination of yellow gold PVD and a green sunray dial is deliberately conspicuous. There is no heritage to invoke here; the design decision is purely about presence. At 42mm and 10.2mm thick, the case sits broad but flat on the wrist, and 143 grams of stainless steel means the bracelet has real weight to it — this reads on the wrist as a considered accessory rather than an afterthought. The sunray green dial shifts between olive and something closer to emerald depending on the light, which gives it more visual range than a flat colour would.

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?
13mm. 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.
