Outfit | BOSS Orange Watches New York



For the second instalment of our partnership with BOSS Orange Watches we gave a piece from the AW14 collection the old road-test. You may remember our first feature on this season's collection, and having already covered the more techy details of the range we're excited to be trying out one of the watches, and seeing how it fairs within our daily routine.

To be a successful freelancer (still trying) you need to be very driven, committed and show passion towards every job at hand these too are the core values on which the BOSS Orange collection is built upon. The majority of the time I can be found sitting behind my desk-type-table, but on the rare occasion that me + Hollie time a day off together (super rare) we usually head to our local coffee shop. We get to catch up on the news from the week and discuss upcoming plans. On that day I decided to wear my BOSS Orange watch for the first time.




When I received the watch I was actually surprised how chunky it was, I'm more familiar with slimmer models but the architectural shape of the New York lends itself really well to its oversized shape. I wore it with a typical everyday-casual outfit of denim, sweatshirt and relaxed chinos but I can see it working well for the times I need to dress smarter for a meeting. Poking out of the shirt sleeve, I reckon it's sure to impressive any prospective clients.

The subtle mix of the brushed stainless steal face and rubber strap makes it fall into a nice middle-ground of smart and sporty a notion which I can definitely support. As I mentioned, size-wise it's larger than I usually go but I never rules styles out until I've tried them, you never know what you might miss!

The New York model features a contrasting orange second hand and oversized pin, comes standard with Japanese Quarts movement and is fully equip for a 30 metre dive into water. Just to give you a bit of perspective, the watch measures at 50mm in width and 13mm in depth - so on my wrist it may look large but BOSS Orange Watches have designed this watch to take on a purposeful oversized appearance.

Thanks for reading guys, and if you like what you see look out for Part Three in our partnership where we'll be giving away a watch from their new collection.

  1. It looks good! I can see how it'd work with casual or formal, I think it'd blend in with either.

  12. The orange of the seconds hand matches with the contrast stitching of your jacket! It's a nice, subtle touch.
