Tommy Hilfiger Men’s 45mm Multifunction Watch (1791792)

A rose gold ring around a gunmetal case is a harder combination to pull off than steel and gold, and this one works because the warm metal is used for the bezel scale and the hour markers and nowhere else. Below it sits a grey dial with three sunken registers and a strap of matte grey silicone. Case and Wrist Presence 45mm across, round, in a dark gunmetal finish, with a wide flat bezel carrying a 24-hour scale in rose gold numerals and four small screw-style studs set into it. Those studs and the crown guards give the case a tool-watch outline rather than a dress one. The crown at three is knurled and flanked by two pushers. A wrist of 18cm carries this comfortably; anything under 17.5cm will feel it. Dial and Legibility Grey with a fine sunburst, so the surface lightens toward the centre and darkens at the edges. Applied rose gold batons run the hours, each with a white segment on the inner end that lifts them off the grey. Around the chapter ring, the section between one and three o’clock is filled with the navy, white and red of the flag, which is the only real colour on the dial. Rose gold hands with white inserts sweep over the top. Movement and Functions Quartz, with three counters. The left register runs a 24-hour scale, the right one carries the days of the week, and the register at six is a pointer date reading to 31 and labelled DATE. A pointer date is slower to read than a window but easier on the eye, because there is no cut-out interrupting the dial. Between the three you get day, date and a day-night reference without leaving the dial. Strap, Clasp and Fit Grey silicone, moulded with HILFIGER on one side of the case and TOMMY on the other, closed with a pin buckle. Silicone suits a 45mm watch: it is light, it does not stretch, and it takes sweat and rain without any consequence. It sits slightly tacky against skin, so a hole looser than you would set leather is usually right. Who This Watch Suits Someone who wants a big, sporty watch that still has warm metal in it. It reads casual because of the strap, so it is a weekend and travel piece rather than a boardroom one. Care and Maintenance Rinse the strap in clean water after a sweaty day and dry it. Do not polish the case or the rose gold bezel; both are plated finishes and abrasives will cut through them. Avoid pressing the pushers while the watch is wet. About the Brand Tommy Hilfiger’s sportier references use coloured bezel rings and moulded silicone to separate themselves from the dress dials in the same catalogue, while keeping the same restrained flag logo.
