Stepping up in the same colour and case shape
A monochromatic blue treatment across both case and bracelet gives the Bruce a coherence that most colour-coordinated watches miss — the ionic plating runs through the whole piece rather than sitting on top of a contrasting base, so nothing interrupts it. Gold-tone indices and the brand's signature T-shaped seconds hand read cleanly against the navy dial, providing the contrast the rest of the watch deliberately withholds. At 43mm and 10mm thick it wears with some presence on the wrist without the bulk that often comes at this diameter, and the deployant clasp means daily on-and-off is straightforward once sized correctly.

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?
No. At 30m it will survive rain and handwashing, but not submersion of any kind.
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?
22mm. 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.
