Tommy Hilfiger 1710500 Men's Watch

Ref. 1710500

From the Ryder Collection, this watch commits entirely to a single colour story — gunmetal grey across the case, dial and mesh bracelet — broken only by three sub-dials carrying day, date and 24-hour display, and the trademark Hilfiger stripe detail worked into the design. At 44mm it sits large on the wrist, and the tonal approach means it reads as a coherent block rather than a busy one. The mesh bracelet folds flat against the wrist and the fold-over clasp adjusts precisely enough to find a comfortable fit without bulk.

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 explained

Will 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 compared

Does 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 compared

What size strap does it take?

21mm. 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.
