FAQs

What does 10 ATM water resistance mean for this watch?

10 ATM (Atmospheres), equivalent to 100 meters or 330 feet, means the watch is suitable for everyday use, including accidental splashes, rain, showering, swimming, and snorkeling. It is not designed for scuba diving, high-impact water sports, or prolonged immersion at significant depths.

How do I operate the chronograph function?

The top pusher typically starts and stops the chronograph timer. The bottom pusher is used to reset the chronograph hands back to their zero positions after stopping the timer. The sub-dials will show the elapsed seconds, minutes, and potentially hours.

Is the stainless steel mesh bracelet adjustable?

Yes, the mesh bracelet usually features a micro-adjustment on the clasp itself, allowing for fine-tuning of the fit. For more significant length adjustments, it is recommended to visit a professional jeweler.

What should I do to clean my Hugo Boss Admiral watch?

For general cleaning, wipe the case, crystal, and bracelet with a soft, slightly damp cloth. After exposure to salt water or chlorine, rinse the watch with fresh water and dry it completely with a soft cloth to prevent corrosion and maintain its appearance.

Why do the hands and markers glow in the dark?

The hands and hour markers are coated with a luminescent material that absorbs light during the day or in bright conditions. This stored energy is then emitted as a glow in low-light or dark environments, enhancing readability.

What type of movement powers this specific watch?

This Hugo Boss Admiral Chronograph model (1513907) is equipped with a reliable quartz chronograph movement, known for its accuracy and minimal maintenance requirements.

What is the purpose of the unidirectional rotating bezel?

The unidirectional rotating bezel allows you to track elapsed time. You can align the bezel's zero marker with the minute hand at the beginning of an activity, and then easily read how many minutes have passed against the bezel's scale.

Can I wear this watch in a hot shower or sauna?

While the watch has 10 ATM water resistance, it is generally advised to avoid exposing it to hot showers, saunas, or steam rooms. High temperatures, steam, and soaps can accelerate the degradation of the watch's gaskets, potentially compromising its water resistance over time.

Troubleshooting

Watch not keeping accurate time or has stopped.

First, ensure the crown is fully pushed in to engage the movement. If the watch is still not functioning correctly, the battery likely needs replacement. Consult a professional watchmaker for battery replacement to maintain water resistance.

Chronograph hands do not reset to zero.

Some quartz chronographs have a reset function for the sub-dials. Pull the crown out to the time-setting position (Position 2). Then, use the chronograph pushers (usually the top or bottom pusher) to advance and align the chronograph hands to their zero positions. Once aligned, push the crown back in fully.

Date does not change or is stuck.

Ensure the watch has passed midnight. Avoid setting the date between 9 PM and 3 AM, as this can interfere with the date change mechanism. If the issue persists, manually adjust the date or have it inspected by a watchmaker.

Water or condensation visible inside the watch.

Immediately take the watch to a professional watchmaker. Do not try to dry it yourself. Water intrusion can cause severe damage to the movement, and prompt professional service is crucial to prevent corrosion.

Rotating bezel is stiff or difficult to turn.

Rinse the bezel area thoroughly with fresh water to remove any trapped dirt, salt, or debris. If it remains stiff after cleaning, there may be internal damage or debris that requires professional attention.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Sophisticated diver-inspired design with a modern aesthetic
  • Practical chronograph and date functions for daily utility
  • Good water resistance (10 ATM) for recreational water activities
  • Excellent low-light readability with prominent luminescent elements
  • Comfortable and stylish stainless steel mesh bracelet
  • Robust stainless steel case with crown protection for durability

Cons

  • Large 45mm case diameter may not suit all wrist sizes
  • 10 ATM water resistance is not suitable for professional or saturation diving
  • Unidirectional bezel is a design feature, but the watch is not a true dive instrument
  • Mesh bracelet may require professional assistance for significant length adjustments
  • As a quartz movement, it requires periodic battery replacement (Info needed: Battery type and estimated life)

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Proper setup and regular care will ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Hugo Boss Admiral Chronograph.

Initial Setup

  1. Setting the Time: Gently pull the crown out to its outermost position (Position 2). Rotate the crown to move the hands and set the correct time. Once set, push the crown back in fully to engage the movement and ensure water resistance.
  2. Setting the Date: Gently pull the crown out to its intermediate position (Position 1). Rotate the crown to adjust the date. Avoid adjusting the date between 9 PM and 3 AM, as this is when the date change mechanism is active and manual adjustment during this period can damage the movement. Once the date is correct, push the crown back in fully.
  3. Bracelet Adjustment: The stainless steel mesh bracelet typically features a micro-adjustment on the clasp for minor fit changes. For more significant length adjustments, it is highly recommended to seek professional assistance from a jeweler to ensure the bracelet is resized correctly without damage.

Compatibility

This watch is a standalone timepiece and does not require compatibility with other devices. It is designed for comfortable wear on most adult wrists, though the 45mm case size should be considered.

Care and Maintenance

  • Cleaning: Regularly wipe down the case, crystal, and bracelet with a soft, clean, damp cloth. For the mesh bracelet, a soft brush can help remove dirt trapped between links. Ensure the watch is completely dry afterward.
  • Water Exposure: After exposure to salt water or chlorinated pools, rinse the watch thoroughly with fresh water and dry it completely with a soft cloth. Always ensure the crown is pushed in firmly to maintain water resistance.
  • Avoid Extremes: Protect your watch from extreme temperatures (hot or cold), strong magnetic fields, and direct contact with harsh chemicals, solvents, or cosmetics, as these can damage the gaskets, finish, or internal components.
  • Storage: When not in use, store your watch in a cool, dry place, ideally in its original box or a watch case, away from direct sunlight.
  • Battery Replacement: As a quartz watch, it will eventually require a battery replacement. This should be done by a qualified watchmaker to ensure the case back is sealed correctly and water resistance is maintained.
