Tommy Hilfiger Men’s 44mm Multifunction Watch (1791951)

Same dial architecture as its steel sibling, dropped into a black case and bracelet. The white numerals and the white bezel scale now do all the work of separating the watch from itself, and the effect is far more graphic: white marks floating on black rather than silver against steel. Case and Wrist Presence 44mm, round, in a black ion-plated finish, with a knurled bezel edge and a black insert numbered to 60 in white. Crown guards flank a knurled crown and two pushers. Ion plating is a hard treatment rather than a coat of paint, so the finish holds up to daily wear far better than early black watches did. Best on a wrist of 17.5cm and up. Dial and Legibility Black, with oversized white Arabic numerals at the even hours and applied markers between them, so numerals and batons share the dial. The three sub-dials are darker circles set into the face, with white printing. Steel hands with white fill and a red-and-blue stripe on the minute hand cross the middle. The white is bright enough that even on an all-black watch the time reads instantly. Movement and Functions Quartz. Day of the week at twelve, abbreviated to two letters. A 24-hour scale at nine. A pointer date at six running to 31. It is a complete calendar without a date window, which keeps the dial balanced. Water Resistance The dial is marked 5 ATM, 165 feet. That covers rain, washing your hands, a shower and a swim. It is not a diving rating, and it assumes the crown is pushed fully home and the pushers are left alone while the watch is wet. Bracelet and Fit A three-row black ion-plated stainless steel bracelet with wide flat links. It has genuine weight, which suits the case, and the flat top surface shows fingerprints more than a brushed finish would. Sizing is by removing links. Who This Watch Suits Someone who wants an all-black watch that is still easy to read. Most blacked-out watches trade legibility for looks; the white numerals here mean this one does not. Care and Maintenance Never polish a black plated case or bracelet. Wipe with a soft dry cloth, rinse the bracelet after chlorinated or salt water and dry between the links. Have the gaskets checked at battery changes if you swim in it.
