Tommy Hilfiger 1710493 Watch
Ref. 1710493
At 50mm across and close to 180 grams on the wrist, the Luca makes no attempt to go unnoticed. The ionic-plated blue case and matching bracelet read as a single continuous piece of colour, with the charcoal dial sitting behind it as a dark window rather than a contrast point. That weight and diameter will suit someone who finds most watches disappear on a larger wrist. The push-button deployment clasp and 24mm bracelet keep everything proportionate, and day-date at a glance is genuinely useful on a piece worn as a daily driver.

Learn more about Tommy Hilfiger
Tommy Hilfiger founded his label in New York in 1985, building it on American preppy sportswear — nautical stripes, red-white-and-blue, collegiate references. The watches are produced under licence by Movado Group.
They follow the clothing closely: large legible dials, silicone and steel bracelets, and frequent use of the house colour palette. Movements are quartz throughout at the volume end of the range.
These are accessible fashion watches. They are not attempting horological credibility, and their appeal is styling and price rather than mechanics.

Frequently asked questions, and things you should know about this watch
Can I swim with it?
Showering yes, swimming no. 50m covers splashes and brief immersion, but a swimming stroke generates well above the pressure that figure describes.
Water resistance explainedWill the glass scratch?
It can, over time. Mineral glass handles daily wear but will pick up fine scratches that sapphire would not.
Sapphire, mineral and acrylic comparedDoes it need a battery?
Yes. It is quartz, so expect a battery change every two to three years at a jeweller.
Quartz, automatic and solar comparedWhat size strap does it take?
24mm. Any strap of that width will fit, and on most modern watches quick-release bars make the swap a two-minute job with no tools.
Is it a men's or women's watch?
Listed as men's.
