Hugo Boss watch assistance please

[Minibiker]

Hi all

My work colleague wants me to order him some batteries for a watch he's been given, before I replace the battery and take the case backing off, does anyone know what battery fits the watch below please, just so I can get it ordered before he gets the watch to me

Hugo Boss Chronograph Pilot edition 1513850

Thank you

I’d let them order their own batteries.

This might not be helpful but I’d be telling him to go down his local jewellers and get it sorted. As its just a fashion watch, you could even get Timpsons to do it.

Normally quartz watches have the battery size/model on the rear cover of the case.

I would be surprised if it isn’t a generic watch battery. So pick up one of the assorted sets of batteries for a couple of quad for future issues.

The Hugo is just a rebranded Chinese watch. So should have a standard movement inside.

Edit. No one will laugh so edit.

Take it to high street jewelers they have the correct tools

By a new one for £50, way easier

Swap it out for a Gucci belt, much better status symbol.

@lakitu might be able to help


Under no circumstances would I get involved, you're asking for problems.

The watch is £50-60 new, bin the old one and buy a new one, then who cares what battery it takes

Thats insane.

Chatgpt says this:

The Hugo Boss watch model 1513850 uses a standard quartz battery, specifically a SR927SW (also known as a 395/399) battery. This type of battery is commonly used in many quartz watches due to its reliability and availability (PriceRunner UK) (The Watch Corp) . If you need to replace the battery, it is recommended to have it done by a professional to ensure proper sealing and maintenance of the watch’s water resistance.

You can buy a sheet of the batteries and the opening tools from Amazon for under a tenner, he'll be dead before he gets through all the batteries.

I wouldnt help anybody who has a Hugo boss watch.

ive tried and tried, but I cant help the fact that fashion brand watches really annoy me.

Dead men don't care about expired shelf life (assuming he dies in the next couple of years...{this has gotten much darker than I was aiming for[]})

Yeah just get the cheap battery and swap it out, it's a cheap fashion watch so not really worth taking to a jewelers or even Timpsons unless there is some independent place willing to do it for a tenner or something.

Get the owner to take it to Timpsons. You may need a press to get the back on properly. If Timpsons take the back off and smash the glass in the press, they'll pay for replacement.

If someone else takes the back off and it needs to go to into a press, Timpsons won't pay if the glass shatters.

Found this out recently as I needed to change the battery in the Mrs' watch. Back came off no problem, but I couldn't get the back on again for the life of me. Took it to Timpsons, they explained about the risk, I took a gamble and fortunately it paid off. The guy did it for gratis too.

I take it you mean new watch, strapped to his wrist for him?

Sadly no, I think he means for a new battery fitted!

But, for just £24.90 more he could get a new version of the same watch - selling here on eBay for £89.90
