Tommy Hilfiger Men’s 46.5mm Watch (1791273)

Rose gold on black is a combination that either looks expensive or looks cheap, and the difference is usually restraint. Here the case is the only warm element, the dial is flat black, and the numerals are printed rather than applied, which keeps the whole thing calm. Case and Wrist Presence At 46.5mm this is the largest case in the range, and the polished rose gold finish makes it look larger still, because a bright surface catches the eye at the edges where a brushed one would not. The bezel is narrow and the sides are plain, so almost all of that diameter is dial. It needs a wrist of 18cm or more to look intentional. Dial and Legibility Black, with rose gold Arabic numerals ringed by a fine minute track and small square markers at the quarters. Two registers sit inside a printed circle across the middle of the dial: the day of the week above centre and a date scale below it. The hands are polished with pale luminous fill, which gives the dial a clear read in daylight and a rough one in the dark. Movement and Functions Day and date, both set from the crown at three o’clock. Strap Clasp and Fit Grained black leather closed with a rose gold pin buckle. A pin buckle sets the fit in fixed steps, so pick the hole that keeps the case centred on the top of the wrist. With a case this wide, a strap even slightly loose will let the watch rotate and end up facing sideways by mid-afternoon. Who This Watch Suits Someone who wants presence and warmth together. Black leather stops the rose gold from taking over, so it works with a dark jacket as easily as it does with a jumper. Care and Maintenance The finish is a plating, so keep perfume, sanitiser and abrasive cloths away from it, particularly around the buckle where contact is constant. Keep the leather out of water and let it dry slowly if it does get wet. Battery changes belong with a watchmaker who will reseat the gasket.
