Tommy Hilfiger Men’s 44mm Multifunction Watch (1791712)

Three colours, each doing one job. Steel for the case, rose gold for the ring that frames the dial, and a deep navy for the dial itself, over a brown leather strap. The rose gold is confined to that single inner bezel ring, which is what keeps a two-tone watch from looking like a two-tone watch. Case and Wrist Presence A 44mm round stainless steel case, polished, with the rose gold-tone ring set just inside the crystal. Because the warm metal is a thin band rather than the whole bezel, it reads as a detail you notice on second look. The case is wide, so plan on a wrist of 17cm or more; the leather strap will follow the curve better than steel would if you are close to the line. Dial and Legibility Navy, matte, with the full run of Arabic numerals printed in white and a second inner set for the 13 to 24 hours. White on navy is one of the most legible pairings there is, and it holds up in weak light far better than grey on black. Polished hands, a red-tipped small hand at six, and a framed white date window at three. The rose gold ring picks up light around the edge of the dial and gives the navy a warmer boundary than a steel ring would. Movement and Functions Quartz, with a 24-hour counter above the centre and a minute counter marked MIN below it, plus a central arrow-tipped hand. It is a multifunction dial, not a stopwatch: everything shown is an aspect of the current time, so there is nothing to reset and nothing to remember. Strap, Clasp and Fit Dark chocolate leather with an open grain, closed by a pin buckle. Brown leather with navy is the safe combination for a reason; it flatters the dial without matching anything else you are wearing. Expect the strap to soften over the first month and to darken at the fold. Loosen the buckle when you take it off rather than pulling the watch over your hand. Who This Watch Suits Someone who wants a watch that dresses up but is not a dress watch. It is at home with a blazer, and the brown strap keeps it out of black-tie territory entirely. Care and Maintenance Rose gold plating is a thin layer; do not polish it, just wipe it. Keep leather away from water and from long stretches in direct sun, which dries it out and fades the colour unevenly. About the Brand Tommy Hilfiger’s watch range works with a small vocabulary of shapes and finishes, changing one variable at a time. This is the navy and rose gold reading of a dial that also appears in grey and in black.
