Tommy Hilfiger Men’s 44mm Multifunction Watch (1791468)

The red seconds hand is the first thing that moves and the first thing you see. Everything under it is navy and steel, so a single red line sweeping the dial does the work that a whole colour scheme would do on a busier watch. \n Case and Wrist Presence \n A 44mm polished steel case with a tachymeter scale engraved around the bezel, running 60 through 500. A black minute track is printed on the bezel’s inner slope, framing the dial and pulling the eye inward, which makes the watch read a touch smaller than its measurement. The crown at three is broad and fluted with a pusher above and below. Short lugs turn down hard so the case sits close. \n Dial and Legibility \n Navy, with fine vertical ribbing running top to bottom across the centre. The ribbing catches light in stripes as the wrist turns, which is the whole reason a plain navy dial reads as anything more than plain. One large outlined 12 sits at the top with applied steel batons at the other hours. HILFIGER is applied to the left of centre, the flag motif to the right. Hands are steel with white infill. High contrast and easy to read. \n Movement and Functions \n Three registers, sunk below the dial and left plain so they separate from the ribbing. The one at three carries the days of the week, FRI through THU, with THU picked out in red. The one at nine runs a 12-hour scale. The one at six is a pointer date numbered around to 31, with 31 marked in red so the month end is easy to catch. The bezel tachymeter converts an elapsed time over a fixed distance into a rate per hour. \n Strap Clasp and Fit \n Black leather, thick and lightly grained, with stitching set in from the edges. Black is the low-maintenance leather: it hides the small marks that would show on tan within weeks, and it works with a navy dial without either colour fighting the other. It stiffens if it gets wet repeatedly, so keep it dry and it will soften into the shape of your wrist instead. \n Who This Watch Suits \n Someone who wants a sports-flavoured watch that is not black-on-black. Navy, steel and black is a smarter combination than most tachymeter watches manage, and at 44mm it has presence without being unwearable under a jacket sleeve. \n Care and Maintenance \n Rated to 5 ATM: rain, splashes and hand-washing are fine; swimming, showering and diving are not, and the leather strap would object long before the case did. Take the watch off before water. Polished steel picks up hairlines with daily wear and a jeweller can polish them out. Keep the crown pushed fully home. \n About the Brand \n Tommy Hilfiger’s larger watches borrow their language from motorsport — tachymeter bezels, an oversized 12, ribbed dials, a red accent where the eye lands. The brand dates from 1985. \n Technical Specifications \n \n Brand Tommy Hilfiger \n Case diameter 44mm \n Case shape Round \n Case material Stainless steel, polished \n Bezel Tachymeter scale \n Dial Navy, vertically ribbed \n Functions Multifunction, day, pointer date, 12-hour \n Water resistance 5 ATM \n Strap Black leather \n Gender Men’s \n SKU 1791468 \n \n Buying With Confidence \n A 24-month international manufacturer warranty covers the movement, excluding battery and normal wear.
