Stepping up in Hugo Boss's range
The #COSY collection takes its cues from tank-style dress watches — the rectangular case sitting flush against the wrist in the way that shape always has, reading more as a bracelet than a watch until someone asks the time. At 21mm wide the proportions are deliberately slight, and the integrated five-link bracelet continues the case lines without a visible break, which is what makes the whole thing hold together as a piece of jewellery. The silver sunray dial with gold applied indexes keeps the face uncluttered, and in the kind of light that catches the ion-plated case, the two surfaces play off each other quietly. The deployant clasp is a considered choice at this scale — it sits flat and opens cleanly without the bulk that a traditional buckle would add to something this fine.

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.
