Tommy Hilfiger 44mm Watch (1710414)

Black case, black bracelet, black dial. The only bright things on this watch are the hands, the flag at three o’clock and a numeral 12 – and that restraint is the entire design. \n Dial and Legibility \n The dial has a fine sunray brushing that only shows when light crosses it at an angle; the rest of the time it reads as flat black. Hour markers are printed in a dark tone barely lighter than the dial, so the polished silver hands carry the legibility on their own. A day-of-week register sits under twelve and a running seconds register below the centre. \n This is a dial you read by hand position rather than by markers, which is fine at a glance and slower if you want the exact minute. It is a deliberate trade for a watch that looks like a single dark object on the wrist. \n Case and Wrist Presence \n 44mm across, finished in black over stainless steel, with a brushed top surface and polished flanks. Two pushers and a large knurled crown sit on the right. All-black at this size makes a strong, quiet statement – the case outline disappears against a dark sleeve and only the hands remain visible. \n Movement and Functions \n \n Day of the week – two-letter abbreviations, upper register \n Small seconds – lower register \n \n Strap, Clasp and Fit \n A black-finished three-link steel bracelet on a folding clasp, sized by removing links. A bracelet is the right choice for a case this heavy: it distributes weight instead of hanging it from two strap ends, and it will not stretch out of shape the way leather does. \n Who This Watch Suits \n Someone building an all-black look, or anyone who wants a large watch that does not glint. It is also one of the easier big watches to wear with a dinner jacket. \n Care and Maintenance \n Black finishes are plated and they wear at high points – bracelet link edges and the outer lugs go first. Keep the watch off hard desk edges, and rinse the bracelet occasionally so grit does not sit between the links and grind the coating. Have the battery replaced by a watchmaker so the gasket is reseated. \n About the Brand \n Tommy Hilfiger watches carry the brand’s clean, American design language into a range that is priced for daily wear rather than display. \n Technical Specifications \n \n Attribute Specification \n Brand Tommy Hilfiger \n Reference 1710414 \n Case diameter 44mm \n Case colour Black \n Dial Black sunray \n Functions Day, small seconds \n Bracelet Black stainless steel, folding clasp \n Warranty 24 months \n \n Buying With Confidence \n New and unworn in its original box with the manufacturer’s paperwork, covered by the 24-month international manufacturer warranty on the movement, excluding battery and normal wear.
