Tommy Hilfiger Jake Men’s 46mm Watch (1791236)

Rose gold against a white dial and a black strap is a sharper combination than rose gold against brown, and it is what makes this Jake worth a second look. The warm case colour is contained by the black strap instead of being spread across the whole watch. Case and Wrist Presence The case measures 46mm and is finished in rose gold across the bezel, flanks, crown and pushers. The bezel is slim, so the dial opening is wide and the watch presents flat and broad on the wrist. This is a size that suits a wrist of 18cm and up; on anything narrower the lugs will overhang. Dial and Legibility A bright white dial with rose gold Arabic numerals at the even hours and rose gold batons between them. Small navy accents mark the quarters and there is a navy date pointer at six, which is the only cool colour on the dial and stops the whole thing going too warm. Registers at nine and three carry the 24-hour scale and the day. Contrast is good: rose gold on white is easier to read than gold on cream. Movement and Functions Day, date and a 24-hour indication, adjusted through the crown. Strap Clasp and Fit Grained black leather with a rose gold pin buckle. Because the buckle is the only piece of case metal that touches the underside of the wrist, it is the part that shows wear first on any plated watch. Fastening on a consistent hole and avoiding overtightening will keep it looking new far longer. Who This Watch Suits Someone who wants warmth in a watch without the full gold look. Rose gold has settled into being a normal option for men’s watches rather than a statement, and paired with black leather this one is easy to wear with grey and navy. Care and Maintenance Plating is a surface, not a solid. Keep it away from perfume, hand sanitiser and abrasive polishes, all of which will strip the finish at the edges. Keep the leather dry, and use a watchmaker for battery changes so the gasket is checked. Buying With Confidence Delivered new and unworn in its original box with the manufacturer’s paperwork. A 24-month international manufacturer warranty covers the movement, excluding battery and normal wear. Nationwide tracked delivery, and an unworn watch may be returned in its original packaging under the Consumer Protection Act.
