Stepping up in Hugo Boss's range
The Trace collection is Hugo Boss's more understated line — no bright dials, no two-tone flourishes, just a coordinated grey from bezel to bracelet that reads as a considered whole rather than an assembled one. At 44mm with an 11.2mm profile, it sits squarely on the wrist without pushing against a cuff. At 146g, there is enough weight to remind you it is there, which suits the aesthetic — this is not a watch trying to disappear. The chronograph subdials are worked into the grey dial without fighting it, and the lume on hands and indices means it holds its legibility well into low light.

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 comparedIs it a men's or women's watch?
Listed as men's.
