Hugo Boss Nomad GMT Watch (1513774)

Same travel dial as the rest of the Nomad line, but rendered entirely in steel and grey – which changes it from a watch that announces itself to one that quietly does a job. \n Dial and Legibility \n The dial is a soft brushed grey, and the 24 airport codes ring it in white. Two sub-dials carry 24-hour scales with red hands; a red central hand runs over the top of them. Against grey, red is the only colour on the dial, so the eye goes straight to whichever hand is moving. \n Applied polished batons mark the hours and a large Arabic 12 sits at the top. The date shows through a window above six o’clock. \n Case and Wrist Presence \n Polished stainless steel, with a bezel carrying the 24-hour numerals in engraved relief and black knurled pushers and crowns on the right flank. The black hardware against bright steel is the design’s one bit of contrast, and it stops the case reading as a plain dress watch. \n Movement and Functions \n \n GMT / world time – city ring and twin 24-hour registers track other zones alongside local time \n Date – window at six \n 20 bar – printed on the dial; enough for swimming and snorkelling, not for diving \n \n Strap, Clasp and Fit \n A three-link stainless steel bracelet, sized by removing links, which spreads the weight evenly and needs no breaking in. A steel bracelet is the low-maintenance choice: it does not stretch, it does not stain, and a wipe with a soft cloth brings the polish back. If it feels loose over a bony wrist, have one link taken out rather than two – a bracelet that can rotate slightly is more comfortable than one clamped tight. \n Who This Watch Suits \n A traveller who wants the complication without the colour. All-steel and grey goes under a shirt cuff without argument, and the world-city ring is there when you need it. \n Care and Maintenance \n Rinse the bracelet under a running tap now and then – soap and skin oils collect between the links and dull the finish faster than anything else. Have the battery replaced by a watchmaker so the gasket gets reseated; a flat battery left in the case is the most common avoidable cause of movement damage. \n About the Brand \n BOSS builds its watches around a single clear idea each, and prices them where a working professional can own two. The Nomad is the travel piece in that range. \n Technical Specifications \n \n Attribute Specification \n Brand Hugo Boss \n Collection Nomad \n Reference 1513774 \n Case Stainless steel, polished \n Dial Grey, applied batons, world-city ring \n Functions GMT, 24-hour sub-dials, date \n Water resistance 20 bar \n Bracelet Stainless steel \n Warranty 24 months \n \n Buying With Confidence \n New and unworn in its original box with the manufacturer’s paperwork, backed by the 24-month international manufacturer warranty on the movement, battery and normal wear excluded.
