Tommy Hilfiger 46mm Multifunction Watch (1791425)

Gunmetal case, black dial, khaki numerals, dark brown strap: four muted tones and not a bright surface anywhere. This is the version of the big Hilfiger aviation watch that does not shout, and it is the more wearable for it. \n Case and Wrist Presence \n The case is 46mm and finished in gunmetal — a warm grey that neither reflects like polished steel nor goes flat like black coating. Four lug guards loop over the strap ends and stand proud, adding width past the case itself. The bezel is broad and sloped with an engraved minute scale, and the crown at three is fluted between two pushers. A big watch that reads slightly smaller than a polished one of the same size, because it does not throw light. \n Dial and Legibility \n Black with a fine grain, and large Arabic numerals in a soft khaki that sits between cream and olive. That colour is the whole character of this watch — it gives the dial a worn, field-instrument look that white numerals would not. HILFIGER is applied to the left of centre, the flag motif above. The hands match the numerals. Khaki on black is lower contrast than white on black, so this is a dial you read easily in daylight and less easily in the dark. \n Movement and Functions \n A 24-hour arc runs across the top of the dial in khaki. The days of the week sit to the right in single letters with a pointer, TH picked out in a warmer tone. Below centre, a recessed pointer date reads around to 31 with an orange marker at the month end. Another scale runs down the left side. Nothing is cut into the dial — every indication is printed or pointed, which is why the black surface reads as continuous. \n Strap Clasp and Fit \n Dark brown leather, thick and matte, with stitching in a matching tone so the strap reads as one solid piece. Dark brown is the practical middle ground between black and tan: it hides marks nearly as well as black but keeps the warmth that makes it work against a gunmetal case. It will soften over the first month and take the wrist’s shape. \n Who This Watch Suits \n Someone who wants a large watch in muted colours — no bright steel, no white dial, nothing that flashes. It suits olive, brown and grey clothing particularly well, and it is the least formal of the family. Needs a wrist that can take 46mm plus lug guards. \n Care and Maintenance \n Gunmetal is a coating over steel, so treat it as you would any plated finish: no solvents, no abrasive cleaners, and keep it off hard surfaces when you take the watch off. The leather needs to stay dry — take the watch off before washing your hands, and air the strap between wears rather than storing it warm. \n About the Brand \n This is the aviation end of Tommy Hilfiger’s large watch range: lug guards, oversized numerals, a dial reporting day and date alongside the time. The brand dates from 1985. \n Technical Specifications \n \n Brand Tommy Hilfiger \n Case diameter 46mm \n Case shape Round with lug guards \n Case colour Gunmetal \n Dial Black, textured \n Markers Khaki Arabic numerals \n Functions Multifunction, day, pointer date, 24-hour \n Strap Dark brown leather \n SKU 1791425 \n \n Buying With Confidence \n A 24-month international manufacturer warranty covers the movement, excluding battery and normal wear.
