Tommy Hilfiger 44mm Watch (1710385)

A grey dial finished with fine vertical stripes, which is the sort of texture you only notice once the watch is on the wrist and turning under a light. It is what stops this reading as a plain three-hander with extra hands. \n Case and Wrist Presence \n The case measures 44mm across in polished stainless steel, with a thin bezel that gives almost all of that width to the dial. At 44mm this is a watch with presence – it suits a wrist of about 18cm and up, and it will look deliberate rather than oversized on a broad one. The lugs are slim and taper straight into the bracelet. \n Dial and Legibility \n Applied polished batons mark the hours against the grey stripes, with a printed minute track running around the outside. Three registers sit inside: a day-of-week dial on the left, a date arc on the right, and a running seconds dial below centre. The Tommy Hilfiger flag sits under twelve. \n Grey on grey is a quiet combination and it does ask for decent light. In exchange you get a dial that never looks loud under a shirt cuff. \n Movement and Functions \n \n Day – abbreviated names on the left-hand register \n Date – swept by a hand across the right-hand arc rather than shown in a window \n Small seconds – the lower register \n \n Strap, Clasp and Fit \n The bracelet is stainless steel in a flat three-link pattern, sized by removing links at a jeweller. Steel spreads the weight of a 44mm case across the wrist instead of concentrating it under the case, which is why a large watch on a bracelet often wears more comfortably than the same case on leather. \n Who This Watch Suits \n Someone who wants a large watch that behaves. The functions are the ones you actually use – what day it is, what date it is – rather than a stopwatch that never gets pressed. \n Care and Maintenance \n Rinse the bracelet occasionally to clear skin oils from between the links; that is what dulls a polished bracelet, not scratches. Have the battery changed by a watchmaker rather than a kiosk so the case gasket is reseated at the same time. Keep the watch away from magnets and out of parked-car heat. \n About the Brand \n Tommy Hilfiger has been building watches under licence for decades now, and the house style is consistent: clean American dress design, the flag used sparingly, and build quality well above what the price suggests. \n Technical Specifications \n \n Attribute Specification \n Brand Tommy Hilfiger \n Reference 1710385 \n Case diameter 44mm \n Case Stainless steel, polished \n Dial Grey, vertically striped, applied batons \n Functions Day, date, small seconds \n Bracelet Stainless steel \n Warranty 24 months \n \n Buying With Confidence \n Shipped new and unworn in its original box with the manufacturer’s paperwork and the 24-month international manufacturer warranty on the movement, excluding battery and normal wear.
