Tommy Hilfiger Men’s 44mm Watch (1791291)

Gold case, brown strap, silver dial: three warm-leaning choices that could easily have tipped into costume. What keeps this one honest is the dial, which is a cool bright silver rather than champagne, so it holds its own against the gold instead of blending into it. Case and Wrist Presence The case is 44mm and finished in gold tone throughout, including the crown and the two small pushers. A printed hour and minute track runs around the flat bezel, and the polished finish means the watch reads slightly larger than the measurement because of how much light it throws. Dial and Legibility Silver-white with gold Arabic numerals at the even hours, gold batons between them and gold hands. Three registers at nine, three and six are cut away to show gearing turning behind the dial, and each carries a small gold pointer. Gold on silver is the softest contrast in this shard, so this is a daylight dial; the skeletonised registers add visual noise as well as interest. Movement and Functions Day, date and a 24-hour indication across the three sub-dials, adjusted from the crown. Strap Clasp and Fit Mid-brown leather with a crocodile-pattern embossing and a gold-tone pin buckle. Brown leather with a gold case is the traditional pairing and it flatters the whole watch. Because the buckle is plated and sits against the underside of the wrist, it is the first component to show wear, so avoid pulling the strap tighter than it needs to be. Who This Watch Suits Someone who wants a gold dress-leaning watch with a bit of movement on show. It works with tan and brown leather in a wardrobe and looks correct with a jacket. Care and Maintenance Gold plating is thin at the edges of the lugs and the buckle tongue. Keep sanitiser, perfume and abrasive polish off it entirely, and clean with a dry soft cloth. Keep the embossed leather out of water and let a watchmaker handle any battery change so the gasket is properly reseated.

The movement carries a 24-month international manufacturer warranty, excluding battery and normal wear.
