Tommy Hilfiger 38mm Multifunction Watch (1781876)

A blush dial is an easy thing to get wrong — too pink and it looks like a toy. This one is pulled almost to grey, a warm dusty rose with a sunray finish, and the rose-gold numerals sitting on it are only a shade warmer. The whole face works in a narrow band of colour. \n Case and Wrist Presence \n The case is 38mm, round and polished steel, with a thin bezel that leaves the dial wide open. A rose-gold ring is set just inside the bezel and frames the dial, which is where the two-tone theme starts. The crown sits at three between two small pushers, all in steel. A 38mm case with almost no bezel wears large for its size; expect the dial to be the thing people notice. \n Dial and Legibility \n Blush sunray, brushed outwards from the centre so the colour deepens towards the edges. The markers are mixed: rose-gold Arabic numerals at ten, eight, two, four and twelve, with applied batons filling the rest. HILFIGER is applied in rose gold above centre, with the flag motif above that and ESTABLISHED IN MCMLXXXV curved down the right-hand side. The hands are slim rose-gold sticks. It is a quiet dial to read — the contrast is low by design, so the numerals emerge rather than announce themselves. \n Movement and Functions \n Three recessed sub-dials break up the lower half of the face. The one at nine carries the days of the week around its rim, SUN through SAT, with a small pointer. The one at six is marked on a 24-hour scale, running 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24 — useful for keeping track of a second time zone or simply telling morning from afternoon at a glance. A third register sits at three. Each is circular-grained so it reads as a separate surface against the brushed dial. \n Strap Clasp and Fit \n The bracelet runs steel outer links with rose gold-tone centre links, flat-profiled and polished. Two-tone bracelets need sizing properly: because the centre links are plated, a bracelet that slides around on the wrist rubs the plating against sleeves and desk edges more than a snug one does. A jeweller can remove links. The flat link shape keeps the bracelet lying level rather than rolling. \n Who This Watch Suits \n Someone who wants colour on the dial but not much of it. Blush and rose gold against steel is softer than a full rose-gold watch and easier to wear with cool-toned clothing. The 38mm case and open dial make it a visible watch rather than a discreet one. \n Care and Maintenance \n The steel parts look after themselves; the rose-gold plating on the centre links does not. Keep perfume and hand cream off the bracelet, dry it properly if it gets wet, and store the watch away from other metal jewellery. A soft dry cloth on the case and crystal is enough for daily cleaning. \n About the Brand \n Tommy Hilfiger has been running since 1985 — written on this dial in Roman numerals rather than digits, which is the sort of detail the brand likes to slip in. The watch line follows the clothing: recognisable, wearable, easy to live with. \n Technical Specifications \n \n Brand Tommy Hilfiger \n Case diameter 38mm \n Case shape Round \n Case material Stainless steel, polished \n Dial Blush sunray \n Markers Rose gold Arabic numerals and applied batons \n Functions Multifunction, day, 24-hour \n Bracelet Two-tone steel and rose gold tone \n SKU 1781876 \n \n Buying With Confidence \n A 24-month international manufacturer warranty covers the movement, excluding battery and normal wear.
