Tommy Hilfiger Men’s 43mm Watch (1791304)

Silver dial, steel case, dark brown leather. This is the most conservative watch in the shard, and the moon phase at six is the single detail that keeps it from being anonymous. Case and Wrist Presence A 43mm stainless steel case, polished all over, with short lugs and a thin bezel. Because the case is shallow and the dial is pale, it looks noticeably smaller on the wrist than a 43mm sports watch would, and it disappears under a shirt cuff completely. Dial and Legibility A silver-white dial with applied polished batons at the hours and a printed calendar scale around the edge, with the sixty picked out in red. Three guilloche sub-dials handle the month at twelve, the day of the week at nine and the date at three, and the moon phase sits in a shaped aperture at six, showing a gold moon and stars on blue. Silver hands on a silver dial is the one legibility compromise here; the hands are long and faceted, which is what saves them. Movement and Functions Moon phase in the aperture at six Day and date on the side registers Month on the upper register Set from the crown at three. Strap Clasp and Fit Dark brown leather with a crocodile-pattern embossing and a steel pin buckle. It is a dress strap, cut fairly narrow at the buckle end so it sits neatly under a cuff. Embossed leather starts stiff and softens over a few weeks; do not force it into a tighter hole than it wants in the meantime, or the grain will crack at the fold. Who This Watch Suits Someone who needs one smart watch for weddings, meetings and everything formal, and would rather it had a small point of interest than none at all. Brown leather and a silver dial is the safest formal combination there is. Care and Maintenance Keep the strap dry, since water flattens embossed grain permanently. Reset the calendar and moon phase after the watch has been off the wrist for a long spell, moving the hands forward rather than backwards through midnight. Have any battery fitted by a watchmaker so the gasket is reseated.
