Tommy Hilfiger 38mm Multifunction Watch (1782069)

Gold case, gold bracelet, gold Roman numerals — and then a silver-white dial underneath, which is the decision that makes this watch work. A gold dial would have turned it into one solid block of colour. Leaving the dial pale gives the numerals something to sit against. \n Case and Wrist Presence \n A 38mm round case in gold tone, and a thin one. The bezel is a narrow rim, so nearly the whole face is dial, and the watch wears wider than its measurement suggests. The crown is small and unobtrusive at three. Slim cases are the ones that work under a shirt cuff; thick ones snag, and this does not. \n Dial and Legibility \n Silver with a fine radial sunray. Applied gold Roman numerals mark the hours, and a printed track with five-minute numerals runs around the outside. HILFIGER is applied in gold across the left, the flag motif sits at three, and ESTABLISHED IN 1985 runs vertically up the far left in small blue lettering. The hands are gold batons. Warm markers on a cool dial gives you better contrast here than the all-steel version of the same watch — this one is easier to read across a room. \n Movement and Functions \n Two recessed registers on the twelve-six axis. The upper one carries the days of the week around its rim with a small pointer; the lower one is a pointer date numbered to 31. Putting both on the vertical line leaves the Roman numerals at three and nine intact, and gives the dial a symmetry that a date window would have broken. \n Strap Clasp and Fit \n A gold-tone stainless steel bracelet in a five-row link pattern — slim outer links flanking a broader centre. It drapes rather than bridges, which matters on a slim watch: a stiff bracelet would lift the case off the wrist. Because the gold is a plating over steel, a snug fit is worth paying for; a loose bracelet slides and rubs the plating against cuffs and desk edges. A jeweller can remove links. \n Who This Watch Suits \n Someone who wears gold and wants a formal watch that still carries a day and date. It suits a suit, and it suits the wrist that already has a gold ring on the hand. Roman numerals keep it conservative; the slim case keeps it from looking heavy. \n Care and Maintenance \n Gold plating is a surface. Keep chlorine, perfume and hand cream off the bracelet, dry it thoroughly if it gets wet, and store the watch away from other metal jewellery so nothing abrades the finish. A soft dry cloth restores shine to the polished links. Do not use jewellery dips or polishing compounds, which strip plating. \n About the Brand \n Tommy Hilfiger built the brand on relaxed American classics from 1985 onwards, and the watches follow the same rule: shapes people already know, executed cleanly, with the flag as the signature. \n Technical Specifications \n \n Brand Tommy Hilfiger \n Case diameter 38mm \n Case shape Round \n Case finish Gold tone \n Dial Silver sunray \n Markers Applied gold Roman numerals \n Functions Multifunction, day, pointer date \n Bracelet Gold-tone stainless steel \n SKU 1782069 \n \n Buying With Confidence \n A 24-month international manufacturer warranty covers the movement, excluding battery and normal wear.

The seconds hand is a plain gold needle with no counterweight past the pivot, which is why the dial stays as quiet as it does.
