Stepping up in the same dial colour
At 21mm wide and 27mm long, the Cosy sits in the tradition of the tank-form dress watch — a proportionally narrow case that lies flat against the wrist and disappears beneath a sleeve. The gold-tone baton indices and matching hands read as the only ornament on an otherwise unadorned silver-white dial, which takes on a quiet depth from its sunray-brushed finish in angled light. The five-link bracelet, at 7.5mm, keeps the same slender character throughout — nothing widens or thickens as it reaches the case — and the push-button deployant clasp means it can be adjusted and removed without tools.

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?
7.5mm. 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.
Cheapest place to buy
F.Hinds is the only UK retailer we track stocking this reference, so there is nothing to compare it against today.
