Stepping up in the same colour and case shape
The #STYLE collection takes its cue from Bauhaus thinking: nothing on the dial that is not doing a job, no contrast for its own sake. The vertical brushing on the black dial is the only surface variation in an otherwise monochromatic design, catching angled light without breaking the composure of the piece. At 62 grams all in, the Milanese mesh sits against the wrist with almost no presence at all, and its sliding clamp adjuster means fit is a matter of seconds rather than a trip to a watchmaker. Worth knowing: the all-black treatment extends to the dial without any luminous application, so this is a watch read in daylight.

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 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.
