Tommy Hilfiger Jackson Men’s 46mm Watch (1791243)

The Jackson takes the same broad dial as the rest of the range and puts it on steel, which turns it from a weekend watch into something that will sit under a shirt cuff on a Monday without looking out of place. Case and Wrist Presence 46mm of brushed stainless steel with a thin polished bezel and a knurled crown flanked by two decorative pushers. The bracelet flows straight out of the case with almost no taper at the lugs, so the watch reads as one continuous piece of metal. This is a heavy watch by feel, and that weight is most of what makes it convincing. Dial and Legibility Matte black with big white Arabic numerals and long applied batons at the quarters. A day register runs across the top of the dial, a 24-hour scale sits at nine and a segmented date wheel occupies the sub-dial at six, its blue, grey and white sections making the current third of the month obvious at a glance. White on black is the highest-contrast layout in the range and this is the easiest of these dials to read quickly. Movement and Functions Day, date and 24-hour indications from the crown. The dial is marked water resistant, which is enough for rain and hand washing but not for swimming. Strap Clasp and Fit A solid three-link stainless steel bracelet on a folding clasp. Sizing matters more on a bracelet than a strap because you cannot fine-tune it later without removing metal, so have a watchmaker take out links until the watch stays on the top of the wrist when your arm hangs down. Who This Watch Suits A buyer who wants one large, legible, do-everything watch and prefers steel to leather. Black and steel is the least fussy pairing there is and it will not clash with anything already in the wardrobe. Care and Maintenance Rinse and dry the bracelet after a day near salt water, and run a soft brush through the links occasionally to lift grit that would otherwise polish the pins from the inside. Batteries are a watchmaker job so the gasket is reseated. Keep the watch off hard tiled surfaces where a fall does the most damage.
