Stepping up in the same colour and case shape
The Take Off collection pulls its design language from aviation instrumentation — the oversized crown and bold directional markers are there to be read at a glance, which is what a pilot's watch has always needed to do. The all-black PVD treatment, carried across both the case and the three-link bracelet, collapses that utilitarian brief into something more contemporary. At 43mm it wears with the kind of presence that sits well on a larger wrist, and the day-date function keeps it genuinely useful beyond a single role. The deployant clasp and solid metal bracelet give the whole thing a consistent weight in the hand.

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.
