Tommy Hilfiger Men’s 46mm Multifunction Watch (1792083)

Navy, red and white running straight down the middle of the dial, and the same three colours repeated on the strap. This is the most overtly branded watch in the range and it does not pretend otherwise. \n Case and Wrist Presence \n A 46mm stainless steel case with brushed flanks and polished facets, carrying a wide navy bezel ring textured with a fine diamond knurl. The pushers and crown are polished steel, so there is enough brightness at the edges to stop the navy from going heavy. It is a broad, tall watch and it needs a wrist to match – around 18cm and up. \n Dial and Legibility \n Deep navy with a suede-like matte texture, marked with white applied batons and a printed tachymeter scale in white and red around the flange. A red and white stripe runs vertically across the dial behind the skeletonised bridge that links the three sub-dials. Those sit at ten, eight and four o’clock: the days of the week above, the date below, the 24-hour scale to the left. The white hands and markers give real contrast against the navy, so the time itself stays easy to read despite everything else going on. \n Movement and Functions \n \n Day – a red pointer picks out MON through SUN on the upper counter \n Date – the lower counter tracks the calendar with a hand \n 24-hour – one full rotation covers a day, which keeps 8am and 8pm apart \n Tachymeter – use the outer scale to read speed over a measured distance \n \n Strap, Clasp and Fit \n Navy silicone, textured to match the bezel, with a red and white stripe near the lugs and the flag logo moulded in. A pin buckle in steel holds it. Silicone shrugs off water and sweat, which makes this a sensible summer watch, and the strap wipes clean rather than staining. Set the buckle so a finger slides under the strap easily – a tight silicone strap will mark your wrist within an hour. \n Who This Watch Suits \n A man who likes the sailing and racing look, or who simply likes the Hilfiger colours worn openly. It sits well with denim and with anything navy, and it is casual by design. \n Care and Maintenance \n Rinse the strap under warm water when it gets grubby and dry it with a cloth; nothing else is needed. The matte navy dial and the textured bezel hide fingerprints well, but grit does collect in the bezel knurl, so brush it out now and again. Take the watch to a watchmaker for a battery so the case seal is renewed at the same time. \n Buying With Confidence \n Covered by a 24-month international manufacturer warranty on the movement, excluding battery and normal wear. New and unworn in its original box with the manufacturer’s paperwork, shipped nationwide with tracking, and returnable unworn in its original packaging under the Consumer Protection Act. The dial texture is worth a close look – it is closer to brushed suede than to paint.
