Tommy Hilfiger Men’s 46mm Watch (1791239)

Cream and navy is a combination borrowed from old instrument dials, and it is the reason this 46mm Hilfiger looks older than it is. The tan leather strap finishes the idea off. Case and Wrist Presence A 46mm stainless steel case, brushed on the flanks and polished on the narrow bezel. The lugs are short and drop away sharply, which is what allows a case this wide to sit reasonably flat rather than teetering. Expect it to fill a shirt cuff completely. Dial and Legibility The dial is cream with navy Arabic numerals at three, six, nine and twelve and navy batons elsewhere. Two navy sub-dials give the contrast: the day of the week runs across a register at twelve and the 24-hour scale sits at nine, with the date register below centre. Because the sub-dials are dark against a pale dial, they read as separate instruments rather than as clutter, which is not always true of a three-register layout. Movement and Functions Day, date and a 24-hour indication, set from the crown. The dial is marked water resistant, which covers rain, a splash at the basin and hand washing. It is not a rating to swim or shower in. Strap Clasp and Fit Tan leather with a raised centre pad and heavy contrast stitching, closed by a steel pin buckle. Light-coloured leather darkens with wear, especially around the buckle holes, and most owners come to prefer it that way. If you want to slow it down, keep it off in the sun and away from sunscreen. Who This Watch Suits Someone who wants a large, warm, slightly vintage-looking watch for weekends. Tan and cream sit well with khaki, olive and denim, and poorly with black. Care and Maintenance Tan leather marks easily. Wipe spills off straight away rather than letting them soak in, and never dry a wet strap on a heater, which cracks the fibres. Have a watchmaker fit any replacement battery so the case gasket is reseated and the water resistance is not lost the first time it rains.
