Tommy Hilfiger Men’s 43mm Dual Time Watch (1792092)

A second time zone on the left, a 24-hour scale on the right, running seconds at the bottom and a date at six. For a watch that looks like a diver at first glance, this Tommy Hilfiger is really a travel watch. \n Case and Wrist Presence \n Stainless steel, 43mm across – a more wearable size than the 46mm cases in the range, and it sits comfortably on most wrists from about 16.5cm up. The case sides are brushed with polished chamfers, and a black bezel ring with a printed 60-minute scale caps it. The crown is protected between two small pushers on the right flank. \n Dial and Legibility \n Matte black with applied polished batons and broad hands filled white. Three sub-dials break the surface: DUAL HOUR at nine, a 24-hour counter at three, and a running seconds register at six with a date window cut into its lower edge. The white-on-black contrast is high and the printing is fine but clean, so this is one of the more legible dials in the range – you can read it across a room. \n Movement and Functions \n \n Dual time – the left sub-dial holds a second 12-hour reading, so home time stays visible while you set the main hands to where you are \n 24-hour – the right sub-dial removes the am/pm guesswork from that second zone \n Date – a window at six o’clock \n Running seconds – the small hand at six confirms at a glance that the watch is going \n \n Strap, Clasp and Fit \n A steel mesh bracelet, woven fine rather than in visible links. Mesh sits flatter and cooler than a link bracelet and slides through hair less, which matters in summer. It also adjusts continuously rather than in link-sized steps, so you can get the fit exactly right instead of settling for one link too loose. Mesh does trap dust in the weave over time – a rinse and a dry sorts it out. \n Who This Watch Suits \n Anyone who deals with two time zones regularly, or who simply wants a legible steel watch at a size that does not dominate the wrist. At 43mm on mesh it works under a cuff better than the wider models do. \n Care and Maintenance \n Rinse the mesh under warm water occasionally and dry it thoroughly, especially after a hot day, because sweat left in the weave will eventually dull the finish. Keep the bezel ring free of grit. When the battery goes, use a watchmaker – the gasket that seals the caseback is what protects the movement, and it needs reseating each time the case is opened. \n Buying With Confidence \n Backed by a 24-month international manufacturer warranty on the movement, excluding battery and normal wear. New and unworn in its original box with the manufacturer’s paperwork, shipped nationwide with tracking, and returnable unworn in its original packaging under the Consumer Protection Act. The date sits inside the seconds register rather than on the dial proper – an unusual place to put it, and it keeps the dial symmetrical.
