Line History
Grand Prix is one of the most recognizable lines in the current BOSS catalog, manufactured under license by Movado Group: the name directly evokes the world of Formula 1 and historic motorsport racing, an aesthetic reference — not an official partnership with a team or circuit — that the brand uses to build the collection's identity around a sporty chronograph.
Its distinguishing feature is the perforated leather strap, a detail that explicitly recalls racing drivers' gloves: a classic stylistic code of motorsport-themed watchmaking, here reinterpreted on a 44 mm steel case with a three-counter dial, applied indices, and a smooth or knurled bezel depending on the execution. The line is offered both in mirror-polished steel and in gold-tone finishes, for a more formal positioning compared to other sporty collections in the BOSS catalog.
Consistent with the brand's fashion-oriented positioning, Grand Prix is fitted with a quartz chronograph movement: mechanical precision takes a back seat to the aesthetic nod to the racing world, aimed at an audience looking for a sporty-elegant watch to pair with a contemporary wardrobe rather than a technical competition chronograph.

Main Executions
The perforated strap of Grand Prix echoes a visual code widespread throughout motorsport-themed watchmaking, drawn from the perforated leather gloves worn by drivers to improve grip on the steering wheel: a decorative rather than functional detail, which several watch houses — not just Hugo Boss — use to evoke the world of racing without any direct sponsorship ties to teams or competitions.
