Tommy Hilfiger 44mm Watch (1791636)

Gold case, black bezel, black dial, black perforated silicone. It is the most aggressive colour pairing in this family and the one that makes the least effort to look formal. Case and Wrist Presence Forty-four millimetres, gold-tone, with a black ring set into the bezel and a crown that stands proud on the right. The gold is confined to the case sides and the bezel edge, so it frames the dial rather than filling the wrist. Silicone keeps the weight down, and the case sits flat because there is no heavy bracelet pulling at the lugs. Dial and Legibility Black, with gold applied batons and gold hands. Gold on black is warmer and softer than steel on black, and slightly slower to read for it, though the hands here are long and broad enough to compensate. The tachymeter numbers are printed white on the sloped flange, and HILFIGER sits at the top of that flange. Functions Left of centre, an arc shows the day of the week with a pointer moving across the letters. The register at three, labelled DATE, tracks the date with its own hand. The register at six, labelled SECONDS, takes the running seconds off the centre of the dial. Around all of it, the tachymeter scale on the flange turns an elapsed time into a speed over a known distance. Strap and Fit Black silicone with punched holes down its length. It washes clean under a tap, does not stain and does not stiffen with sweat, which is exactly what a leather strap cannot claim. A buckle sets the fit; silicone grips the skin, so the right hole is one looser than you would choose in leather. Who This Watch Suits Someone who wants gold on a watch they can wear to the gym. It is loud, it is practical, and it does not pretend to be a dress watch. Care and Maintenance Rinse the strap regularly, since silicone picks up dust and body oils. Keep polish away from the gold-tone case, which is plated and thin. Have a watchmaker fit the battery and reseat the gasket afterwards. About the Brand The perforated strap and tachymeter flange belong to Tommy Hilfiger’s sportier line; putting them in a gold case rather than steel is the sort of decision the brand makes more often than most.
