Tommy Hilfiger 44mm Watch (1791609)

Gold tone from end to end, with a near-white dial to stop it from becoming a solid block of metal. The centre of the dial is stamped with a herringbone weave, and the markers, hands and minute track are all in the same warm tone as the case. Case and Wrist Presence The case is 44mm and unusually thin for the width, with a narrow polished bezel and lugs that turn down close to the case body. The result is a broad, flat watch that slips under a cuff more easily than most watches of this diameter. Full gold tone on both case and bracelet makes it the loudest finish available; there is no half measure here. Dial and Legibility A silver-white base with a stamped centre panel and a raised flag monogram off to the right. Applied gold batons sit on the flat outer ring against a printed minute track. Gold hands on a pale dial is the classic dress combination and also the least contrasty one: in strong sun the hands can wash into the dial, so this is a watch you glance at rather than read across a room. Functions The day of the week runs along an arc below twelve, with a fine dark hand crossing it. The date sits in a sub-dial at six, read by pointer against a track numbered to 31. Neither display cuts a window into the dial, which keeps the stamped texture continuous. Bracelet and Fit A flat gold-tone link bracelet with polished centre sections. It is sized by removing links, so once a jeweller has set it the fit does not change. Gold-tone plating on a bracelet wears at the clasp and where the links rub, so a correct fit does more than comfort here: a bracelet that slides around the wrist wears its plating faster. Who This Watch Suits Someone who wants a full gold-tone watch and is not looking to be subtle about it. Against a dark shirt or a tan it looks its best; against yellow or cream it disappears. Care and Maintenance Keep perfume, hairspray and chlorinated water away from the plating, since all three do more damage than skin contact. Rinse and dry the bracelet rather than scrubbing it, and never use a metal polish. Ask for a pressure test after every battery change. About the Brand This dial design runs across several Tommy Hilfiger references in different colours; in full gold tone it is the most formal reading of it.
