Tommy Hilfiger Men’s 44mm Multifunction Watch (1791471)

A watch finished in one colour from bezel to clasp is a rare thing, and blue is a braver choice than black. Case, bracelet, dial and even the printing are all in the same range here, and the only relief is the white of the hands and markers. \n Case and Wrist Presence \n A 44mm case in blue tone, with a tachymeter scale engraved around the bezel and picked out in a lighter blue so it stays readable against its own background. The crown at three is fluted with a pusher above and below, all in the same finish. Because there is no contrast between case and bracelet, the whole thing reads as one continuous object on the wrist rather than a head and a band — which makes it look larger than a two-tone watch of the same size. \n Dial and Legibility \n Blue, with fine vertical ribbing running down the centre panel. The ribbing is the only texture on the watch and it catches light in bands as the wrist moves. A large outlined 12 sits at the top, with applied white batons at the other hours. HILFIGER is applied to the left of centre in white, the flag motif to the right. The hands are white with blue outlines. White on blue is the only contrast this watch offers, and it is enough. \n Movement and Functions \n Three sunken registers. Days of the week run around the rim of the one at three, FRI through THU. A 12-hour scale sits at nine. A pointer date numbered to 31 sits at six. All three are printed in white on the same blue as the dial, so they read as part of the surface rather than as separate discs. The bezel tachymeter turns an elapsed time over a fixed distance into a rate per hour. \n Strap Clasp and Fit \n A blue mesh bracelet, finely woven, matching the case exactly. Mesh has no rigid links, so it drapes over the wrist bone instead of bridging it, and it adjusts continuously rather than in fixed steps — you can set it exactly where you want rather than choosing between two link positions. It is thinner and lighter than a link bracelet, which keeps a 44mm watch from feeling heavy. \n Who This Watch Suits \n Someone who has decided steel and black are too safe. This is a watch that commits: it will not blend with everything, and that is the point. It works with denim, navy and grey, and it stands out against a white cuff. \n Care and Maintenance \n The blue is a coating over steel and it behaves like any plated finish — keep it away from solvents, aftershave and abrasive cleaners, and off hard surfaces when you take the watch off, since a deep scratch will show the bright metal underneath. Wipe the mesh dry with a soft cloth; liquid cleaners sit in the weave and take a long time to leave. \n About the Brand \n Tommy Hilfiger’s larger watches take their layout from motorsport instruments — tachymeter bezel, oversized 12, three registers — and then apply colour the way the clothing line does. The brand dates from 1985. \n Technical Specifications \n \n Brand Tommy Hilfiger \n Case diameter 44mm \n Case shape Round \n Case colour Blue tone \n Bezel Tachymeter scale \n Dial Blue, vertically ribbed \n Functions Multifunction, day, pointer date, 12-hour \n Bracelet Blue-tone stainless steel mesh \n Gender Men’s \n SKU 1791471 \n \n Buying With Confidence \n The movement carries a 24-month international manufacturer warranty, excluding battery and normal wear.
