Tommy Hilfiger Men’s 44mm Watch (1710399)

A cream dial and a beige strap under a gunmetal case – the palest watch in this family and the one that changes character most with the seasons. \n Case and Wrist Presence \n The case is gunmetal, a grey finish that is darker than steel and warmer than black. At 44mm it is a wide watch, but the light dial makes the case look like a thin frame around it rather than the main event. Two pushers flank a knurled crown. \n Dial and Legibility \n Off-white, almost ivory, with grey Roman numerals printed around the edge. The day arc under twelve runs across a grey band, and the date register above six is a full 1-to-31 scale swept by its own hand. WATER RESISTANT 5ATM / 165 FEET is printed at nine o’clock. \n The hands are deep blue, which is the reason this dial works. Blue on cream is the strongest contrast on any dial in the range, and it makes a busy layout instantly readable. \n Movement and Functions \n \n Day of the week – arc below twelve \n Date – swept register above six \n 5 ATM water resistance – printed on the dial; that is rain and hand washing, not swimming \n \n Strap, Clasp and Fit \n Sand-coloured leather with a crocodile grain. Pale leather is the honest version of a strap: it shows exactly where your wrist bends and where your shirt cuff rubs, and it will develop a patina within a season rather than over years. Some owners like that and some do not. It fastens on a pin buckle that adjusts in fixed steps. \n Who This Watch Suits \n Summer wearing, linen and chinos, anyone tired of black and steel. It is a distinctive watch without being a loud one. \n Care and Maintenance \n A pale strap wants a wipe with a barely damp cloth every few weeks, before marks set rather than after. Keep it out of water. Have the battery changed by a watchmaker so the case gasket is reseated in the same visit, and store the watch away from magnets and out of direct heat. \n About the Brand \n Tommy Hilfiger’s watches take colour seriously – the range runs well past black and steel, and this cream and gunmetal pairing is a good example of what that gets you. \n Technical Specifications \n \n Attribute Specification \n Brand Tommy Hilfiger \n Reference 1710399 \n Case diameter 44mm \n Case colour Gunmetal \n Dial Cream, grey Roman numerals, blue hands \n Functions Day arc, date register \n Water resistance 5 ATM \n Strap Beige croc-embossed leather, pin buckle \n Gender Men’s \n Warranty 24 months \n \n Buying With Confidence \n Ships new and unworn in its original box with the manufacturer’s paperwork, under the 24-month international manufacturer warranty on the movement – battery and normal wear excluded.
