Tommy Hilfiger Men’s 44mm Watch (1791631)

Three labelled sub-dials and a date window at twelve, on a black dial inside a rose gold-tone case. The labels are the giveaway: DUAL HR, DUAL MIN and 24 HR, printed under each register, which tells you exactly what this watch is for. Case and Wrist Presence The case is 44mm, rose gold-tone, with a polished bezel and two small pushers on the right flank. Rose gold is warmer and less obvious than yellow gold and sits more comfortably against most skin tones. The profile is moderate rather than chunky, so the watch reads as broad and flat. Dial and Legibility Black with a very faint concentric grain and an inner ring of fine minute marks. The applied batons and the hands are rose gold, and there is a small tricolour flag at six. HILFIGER ESTABLISHED 1985 sits under the twelve. It is a warm, low-glare dial; rose gold hands on black are more legible than they sound, because the tone is dark enough to hold its own shape against the background. Functions The register at nine, marked DUAL HR, and the one at six, marked DUAL MIN, together give a complete second time zone read as hours and minutes on separate dials. The register at three is a 24-hour indicator running 6, 12, 18 and 24, which tells you whether that second zone is in its morning or evening. The date shows through a framed aperture just below twelve. Strap, Clasp and Fit Dark brown leather with a soft matte finish and stitching in a matching tone. Brown against rose gold is a natural pairing, both being warm. The strap fastens on a buckle and will soften over the first month, at which point the hole you chose on day one is usually one too loose. Who This Watch Suits Someone who genuinely tracks a second time zone and would rather read it as hands than do the arithmetic. It suits travel and it suits working with people in another country. Care and Maintenance Rose gold plating is thin and no polish should ever touch it; a dry microfibre cloth is all it needs. Keep the strap dry. When the battery goes, have a watchmaker fit it and reseat the gasket rather than a kiosk that will press the back on and hand it straight back. About the Brand The ESTABLISHED 1985 line on the dial dates the brand rather than the watch; Tommy Hilfiger has been putting its name on watches for long enough that the reference makes sense.
