Tommy Hilfiger 40mm Watch (1791510)

The contrast is the point here: a black case and black dial on a light tan leather strap, warm against cold. A single red-tipped hand in the upper register is the only colour on the dial apart from the flag. Case and Wrist Presence Forty millimetres, in black ion-plated steel, with a thin bezel and a slim profile. Black cases read smaller than bright ones, and this one is helped further by short lugs that bring the strap down quickly. It clears a cuff easily. Against the pale strap the case looks like a dark disc set on a band, which is a very different effect from the same watch on black leather. Dial and Legibility Matte black, with the hour batons and hands in polished steel so they catch light and separate from the background. The Arabic 12 and 6 are outlined in white and sized large enough to orient you instantly. Inside the 24-hour register the surface is finished with fine concentric rings, a small detail you only notice under a lamp. Functions The large left-hand register is a 24-hour display with AM and PM marked at its base, and its hand is tipped in red so your eye finds it first. The small register below is a pointer date reading to 31. Neither indication needs a window cut into the dial, which is why the layout stays clean. Strap, Clasp and Fit Tan leather, smooth-finished and stitched in a matching tone. Light leather shows its history: it will darken at the buckle and at the fold over your wrist bone, and most people prefer it after a few months. A pin buckle sets the length in fixed steps, so choose the hole that keeps the case from sliding around your wrist without pressing into it. Who This Watch Suits Someone who already owns a steel watch and wants something with a different temperature. It leans casual rather than formal, and it looks better with chinos and boots than with a suit. Care and Maintenance Tan leather marks easily, so keep it away from ink, oil and hand cream. Wipe the black case with a soft dry cloth and skip abrasive cleaners, which will scuff the plating. Have the gasket reseated when the battery is changed. About the Brand Tommy Hilfiger’s watches trade on the same instincts as its clothing, which is why pairings like a black case and a tan strap turn up here rather than in a more conservative catalogue.
