Tommy Hilfiger 46mm Watch (1791561)

A gold-tone bezel carrying a 60-minute scale sits on a steel case, and inside it is a navy dial worked with a fine raised grid. The strap is a warm mid-brown leather that leans the whole watch away from formal and towards outdoor. Case and Wrist Presence The case runs to 46mm and the bezel is broad, so the dial opening is smaller than the diameter suggests. Crown guards and two pushers thicken the right flank. A watch this size looks deliberate on a large wrist and awkward on a small one; there is no way around that, and 18cm is a fair minimum. The steel and gold split keeps the mass from reading as a single slab. Dial and Legibility Navy under a raised waffle texture, with applied batons and hands finished in a pale gold tone that lifts clear of the background. The register scales are printed in the same warm tone. The 12 marker is doubled to give you an instant reference point. It is a busy dial that stays readable because the three registers sit at different distances from the centre. Functions The register at nine is a 24-hour indicator numbered 12 to 24. The one at three shows the day of the week around a lettered ring. The one at six is a pointer date reading to 31. Nothing is displayed through a window, so the texture of the dial runs uninterrupted. Strap, Clasp and Fit The leather is mid-brown with a slightly waxed surface that will scuff pale at the fold and then settle. It is thick enough to hold a large case steady, and it fastens on a buckle. Heavy straps need a hole further in than you expect at first, because the leather compresses over the first fortnight and then stops. Who This Watch Suits Someone who wants the scale of a sports watch with the warmth of leather and gold. It suits a heavy jacket better than a shirt cuff, which a 46mm case will always struggle with. Care and Maintenance Keep the strap dry; brown leather stains dark in patches if it is soaked and dried unevenly. Wipe the gold-tone bezel with a soft cloth only, since it is plated and polish will thin it. Ask for a pressure test after a battery change. About the Brand This case is one Tommy Hilfiger has issued in several finishes; the steel and gold version is the dressiest of them, and the brown strap is what keeps it from tipping over into flash.
