Tommy Hilfiger 38mm Watch (1782196)

Grey on grey, with rose gold hands as the only warm thing in the picture. Gun metal is an unusual finish to carry across a whole watch, and it turns a fairly busy design into something quite dark and quiet. Case and Wrist Presence 38mm, with a wide flat bezel carrying a printed scale from 60 to 400 and pushers at two and four. The gun metal finish is matte enough that it does not throw reflections the way polished steel does, so the watch reads smaller and darker on the wrist than its diameter suggests. Dial and Legibility A grey crosshatched dial with a large rose gold Arabic 12 and rose gold batons at the hours. Warm metal against cold grey is the entire contrast strategy here, and it works better than it sounds: the hands are the brightest thing on the dial and they find your eye immediately. Functions Day of the week on the left register, a small counter on the right, a 24-hour scale at the bottom, and a central sweep seconds hand. The bezel numbers form a speed scale read against that sweep hand. Strap, Clasp and Fit A three-row gun metal bracelet, brushed on the outers, polished on the centres, sized by removing links. The dark plating hides fine scratches better than bright steel, though a deep mark will show the paler metal underneath, so it rewards being taken off for rough work. Who This Watch Suits Someone who finds bright steel too obvious and black too severe. Gun metal sits between the two. Care and Maintenance Do not use abrasive cloths or metal polish on a gun metal finish; a damp microfibre is all it needs. Rinse the bracelet occasionally and dry it. Battery replacement at a watchmaker so the case gasket is reseated.
