Tommy Hilfiger 44mm Multifunction Watch (1791486)

Black case, black dial, gold markers, tan strap. The tan is what saves it: a black watch on a black strap would be a hole on the wrist, and the warm leather gives the whole thing somewhere to sit. \n Case and Wrist Presence \n A 44mm case finished in black tone throughout, flat through the middle with a narrow bezel that leaves the dial nearly the full width. The crown at three is small and black, flanked by two black pushers, so the side profile stays uninterrupted. The lugs are short and turn down, and the tan strap starts almost immediately — which is why the colour break at the lugs is the strongest line on the watch. \n Dial and Legibility \n Black and matte, with applied gold-tone batons at the hours and a printed track of fine indices around the edge with gold squares at the quarters. HILFIGER is applied in gold to the right of centre with the flag motif above it. The hands are gold. On a black dial, gold reads warmer and softer than steel does — less sharp, more visible in low light, because it catches even weak light rather than reflecting a hard highlight. \n Movement and Functions \n Three registers sunk into the dial and left black, with gold printing. Above centre, the days of the week, TH marked beneath on the dial. At nine, a register with a finely toothed gold inner ring. At six, a pointer date reading around to 31. Keeping all three the same colour as the dial means the gold detail on them reads as pattern rather than as three separate faces. \n Strap Clasp and Fit \n Tan leather, smooth, matte and thick, with edge stitching in a matching tone. Tan is the leather that shows its history: it will darken along the fold across the wrist, deepen around the buckle holes, and pick up marks in the first months. If you want a strap that looks the same in a year, this is not it — but tan that has aged looks considerably better than tan that has not. \n Who This Watch Suits \n Someone who wants a black watch that is not cold. The gold and tan pull it towards autumn colours and brown clothing. It is a casual watch rather than a formal one, and the flat case means it still goes under a jacket sleeve without a fight. \n Care and Maintenance \n The black case finish is a coating: keep it away from solvents and aftershave and off hard surfaces, since a deep scratch shows the steel underneath. Tan leather is the least water-tolerant colour there is — a splash leaves a visible mark that will not come out, so take the watch off before washing your hands. \n About the Brand \n Tommy Hilfiger’s slim multifunction watches share one dial layout across several colourways. This one takes the black case and warms it with gold and tan. The brand dates from 1985. \n Technical Specifications \n \n Brand Tommy Hilfiger \n Case diameter 44mm \n Case shape Round \n Case finish Black tone \n Dial Black with gold-tone markers \n Functions Multifunction, day, pointer date \n Strap Tan leather \n SKU 1791486 \n \n Buying With Confidence \n Covered by a 24-month international manufacturer warranty on the movement, excluding battery and normal wear.
