Tommy Hilfiger 46mm Watch (1791560)

Blue metal all the way through: case, bezel and bracelet are ion-plated in the same deep tone as the dial, so the watch reads as one colour until you get close and the textures separate. The dial carries three registers and a raised waffle pattern across its face. Case and Wrist Presence Forty-six millimetres, with a wide bezel carrying a full 60-minute scale, pushers above and below the crown, and a guarded crown between them. This is one of the biggest watches in the range and it makes no attempt to hide it. On a wrist under about 18cm the lugs will sit past the edge. The all-blue finish is unusual enough that the size becomes the second thing you notice rather than the first. Dial and Legibility The base is textured in a fine raised grid that breaks up reflections. Applied batons and a broad double marker at twelve are filled in a pale tone that stands off the navy, and the hands match them. Because everything is a variation on blue, this dial takes a moment longer to read than a black-and-white one; the pale marker fill is what rescues it. Functions Three registers sit inside the main dial. At nine, a 24-hour scale runs from 12 through 24, with the numbers printed up the left side. At three, the day of the week steps around a compact ring lettered M through S. At six, a pointer date reads against a track marked 10, 20 and 31. A small triangular marker at the foot of the dial finishes the layout. Bracelet and Fit A three-row link bracelet in the same blue plating, brushed on the top surfaces. Links are removed to size it, which is worth having done properly on a case this heavy: a loose bracelet lets a 46mm watch swing to the side of the wrist, and it will stay there. Sized correctly, the weight spreads across the whole wrist and the watch settles. Who This Watch Suits Someone with a large wrist who wants a watch that is obviously not steel. Blue on blue works against grey and white and fights with almost everything warm. Care and Maintenance Coloured ion plating shows wear at the clasp and on the bracelet edges first. Rinse and dry the bracelet rather than scrubbing it, avoid polishes entirely, and keep it out of chlorinated water. Have the case resealed when the battery is changed. About the Brand Tommy Hilfiger uses colour plating where most brands in this bracket stop at steel and gold tone, and this monochrome blue treatment is the clearest example of it.
