Stepping up in the same dial colour
The #GLOSSY collection is built around a single idea: full-spectrum gold, nothing breaking it. Case, dial and mesh bracelet are all the same ion-plated tone, with crystal accents on the dial adding refraction rather than contrast. At 7.3mm thin, it sits almost flush against the wrist — flat enough to disappear beneath a sleeve or to wear as jewellery without the bulk most watches carry. The sliding clasp adjusts without removing links, so the fit can be moved across the wrist as the day demands. At 42 grams, it is present without weight.

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.
