Tommy Hilfiger Men’s 46mm Multifunction Watch (1792104)

The words ROTATE TO SET TIMER are printed around the inner edge of this dial, and that is the feature worth knowing about. A second crown at ten o’clock turns an internal ring, so you can mark the moment you started something without touching the time. \n Case and Wrist Presence \n Stainless steel, 46mm across, with a smooth polished bezel and brushed case sides. It is a clean, undecorated case – no facets, no knurling – and at this width that restraint is what keeps it from looking bulky. There is a main crown and two pushers on the right, plus the smaller timer crown set into the left flank, capped in blue. A wrist of around 18cm carries it best. \n Dial and Legibility \n Deep navy with a matte finish, marked with applied polished batons and broad white-filled hands. Inside the chapter ring sits the rotating timer scale, numbered in five-minute steps with a triangle at the reference point. Three sub-dials cut into the dial – 24-hour at nine, the days of the week at three, and a pointer date at six – each recessed and outlined so they separate cleanly from the navy around them. \n Movement and Functions \n \n Internal timer ring – turn the second crown to line the triangle up with the minute hand, then read elapsed minutes off the ring \n Day – the week runs under a fixed pointer at three o’clock \n Pointer date – a hand indicating the day of the month at six \n 24-hour – a full-day scale on the left sub-dial \n \n Strap, Clasp and Fit \n A brushed steel three-row bracelet with polished edges and a fold-over clasp. Link bracelets are sized by removing links rather than by holes, so have a jeweller take out the right number and keep the spares. Aim for a fit that lets the head sit on top of your wrist rather than rolling to one side – about a centimetre of slide is right. \n Who This Watch Suits \n Someone who actually uses a timing bezel – parking, cooking, a run – and does not want the exposed rotating bezel of a diver. The internal ring cannot be knocked out of position by a sleeve, which is its real advantage. \n Care and Maintenance \n Steel is forgiving. A soft damp cloth on the case and a soft brush between the links keeps it clean. The second crown has its own seal, so do not operate it while the watch is wet. Battery replacement belongs with a watchmaker, who will reseat the caseback gasket rather than just snapping the back on. \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 blue cap on the timer crown is the only colour on the case – a small marker for the one control most people never notice.
