Tommy Hilfiger Men’s 46mm Multifunction Watch (1792084)

Orange is a commitment. On this Tommy Hilfiger it runs the full length of the strap and reappears as a stripe down the centre of a black dial, so the watch is either exactly what you want or nothing like it. \n Case and Wrist Presence \n Brushed and polished stainless steel, 46mm wide, with a textured steel bezel ring instead of a coloured one. Keeping the bezel in bare metal was the right call here: it gives the eye somewhere neutral to rest between the orange strap and the orange dial stripe. Crown and pushers sit on the right. This is a large watch by any measure and works best on a wrist of roughly 18cm or more. \n Dial and Legibility \n Black, with a printed tachymeter scale around the flange and an orange stripe running vertically behind the open bridge that joins the sub-dials. The hour batons and the hands are steel with white infill, so despite the colour the time reads cleanly. The three counters sit at ten, eight and four: day of the week, date, and a 24-hour scale. Orange picks out the pointers, which is a neat way of making the sub-dials findable at a glance. \n Movement and Functions \n \n Day – the week runs under an orange pointer on the upper counter \n Date – a hand sweeps the days of the month on the lower counter \n 24-hour – a full-day reading on the left-hand sub-dial \n Tachymeter – the flange scale turns a timed distance into a speed \n \n Strap, Clasp and Fit \n Bright orange silicone, textured across the face and fitted with a steel pin buckle. Silicone handles sweat, sun and water without degrading, which is why it belongs on a watch this colour – this is a watch for outdoors. Bright silicone does pick up dirt more visibly than black, so expect to rinse it more often. Buckle it so the strap is snug but not compressed against the wrist. \n Who This Watch Suits \n Someone with a wardrobe that can take it, or someone who wants one watch that is obviously not a work watch. It is a sports and summer piece, and it looks best on a tanned wrist with a short sleeve. \n Care and Maintenance \n Wash the strap under warm running water and dry it properly; orange silicone shows marks that black would hide. Brush grit out of the textured bezel occasionally. The polished steel will pick up fine scratches with wear, which is normal. Have the battery changed by a watchmaker so the caseback gasket is reseated rather than simply clipped shut. \n Buying With Confidence \n A 24-month international manufacturer warranty covers the movement, excluding battery and normal wear. Ships new and unworn in its original box with the manufacturer’s paperwork, delivered nationwide with tracking, and returnable unworn in its original packaging under the Consumer Protection Act. The orange on the strap and the orange on the dial are the same shade – held side by side, they match exactly.
