Stepping up in the same colour and case shape
A clean-cut entry in Hugo Boss's HUGO line, the Seam is aimed squarely at office and after-work wear — a 41mm two-tone case kept to 9mm thick, which means it disappears under a shirt cuff without the usual bulk that two-tone dressing watches carry. The textured black dial does the quiet work of stopping the gold PVD accents from reading as loud: the contrast is there, but the dial pulls it back. At 12mm the bracelet is narrow enough to sit tidily on most wrists without spreading.

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?
No. At 30m it will survive rain and handwashing, but not submersion of any kind.
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?
12mm. 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.
