Tommy Hilfiger Men’s 43mm Watch (1791306)

The blue seconds hand is what makes this dial. Everything else is rose gold on silver, warm and quiet, and then one thin blue line sweeps across it and gives the eye somewhere to land. Case and Wrist Presence A 43mm case in rose gold tone, polished throughout, with a narrow bezel and short lugs that curve down towards the strap. The case is shallow, so despite the diameter it slides under a shirt cuff and stays there. This is a dress watch shape wearing a modern size. Dial and Legibility Silver-white with a fine sunray finish, applied rose gold batons at the hours, and a printed calendar scale around the outer edge with the sixty marked in red. Three guilloche registers carry the month at twelve, the day of the week at nine and the date at three, and a moon phase aperture sits at six showing a gold moon and stars against blue. It is a busy dial, but the registers are tinted only slightly darker than the base, so the layout reads as a pattern rather than as clutter. Movement and Functions Moon phase in the aperture at six Day of the week and date on the side registers Month on the upper register All set from the crown at three. Strap Clasp and Fit Glossy brown leather with a crocodile-pattern embossing, on a rose gold-tone pin buckle. A high-shine strap like this looks its best when it is clean, so it rewards being wiped down. The plated buckle sits under the wrist and will show wear before the case does; fastening it consistently and not overtightening will slow that down. Who This Watch Suits Someone dressing up rather than down. Rose gold with brown leather is a warm, formal pairing, and the moon phase gives the watch a talking point that a plain three-hander would not have. Care and Maintenance Rose gold plating dislikes perfume, hand sanitiser and abrasive cloths in equal measure. Clean the case with a dry soft cloth only. Keep the strap out of water. When resetting the calendar after a spell in a drawer, move the hands forward rather than backwards through midnight, and leave battery changes to a watchmaker.
