Stepping up in Hugo Boss's range

Price range £65 to £399 across 132 Hugo Boss watches in stock.

The Runner collection is Hugo Boss's most sport-influenced line, and this reference leans into that fully: a rotating bezel carrying a tachymetre scale, a grey sunray dial with CD-cut chronograph subdials, and angular lugs that push the whole thing toward the purposeful end of the fashion-watch spectrum. At 153g on the wrist, it makes its presence felt, and 43mm worn that heavy sits squarely rather than daintily. The two-tone bracelet — silver-tone links interwoven with gold PVD-plated centres — is what gives the dial its context; without it the watch would read as a sport piece, with it there is enough warmth to make it work in smarter surroundings. The push-button deployment clasp releases cleanly on both sides, and link removal through friction pins means sizing is straightforward at home.

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 explained

Will 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 compared

Does 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 compared

What size strap does it take?

22mm. 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.

Is it a men's or women's watch?

Listed as men's.

Cheapest place to buy

Goldsmiths is the only UK retailer we track stocking this reference, so there is nothing to compare it against today.
