Tommy Hilfiger Men’s 46mm Watch (1791352)

All black, top to bottom, with two red marks on the dial doing the entire job of contrast: the tip of the retrograde day hand and the 31 on the date register. Restraint of that kind is rare on a watch this size. Case and Wrist Presence The 46mm case is coated black, including the bezel, the crown guards and the pushers, so the watch reads as one solid dark shape on the wrist. Black coatings make a big case look slightly smaller than a bright one because there are fewer highlights to catch the eye at the edges, though 46mm is still 46mm. Dial and Legibility Black with a fine triangular texture, applied grey batons filled with white at the tips, and broad silver hands. The retrograde day arc runs across the top, the 24-hour register sits at nine and the date register below centre, both outlined in grey. This is the least legible layout of the three in the family, because so much of the dial is one tone, and the polished hands are doing most of the work. Movement and Functions Retrograde day, date and a 24-hour indication, set from the crown. The dial is marked 5 ATM, or 50 metres, which covers rain, hand washing and pool swimming, and rules out diving and hot showers. Strap Clasp and Fit Black silicone with a moulded panel near the lugs, on a coated pin buckle. Silicone shrugs off water and sweat and can simply be rinsed, which is what makes it the sensible strap for a watch with a real water rating. It picks up dust more than leather does, but a damp cloth deals with that. Who This Watch Suits Someone who wants a large all-black watch that is not trying to look expensive. It works with gym clothes, board shorts and jeans, and does not pretend to be anything else. Care and Maintenance Coated cases dull if you scrub them, so use a soft dry cloth. Rinse after salt water and never work the crown while the case is wet. Keep the strap out of long spells of direct sunlight and have batteries fitted by a watchmaker who will reseat the gaskets and preserve the rating.
