Tommy Hilfiger 1782743 Blue IP Multifunction Bracelet Watch - W95352
Ref. 1782743
Sits in Tommy Hilfiger’s upper tier here — more premium than three quarters of the Tommy Hilfiger watches we list, which start at £80.
Price range £80 to £239 across 184 Tommy Hilfiger watches in stock.From the Mellie collection, this is Tommy Hilfiger's Sport Lux take on the boyfriend watch — a deliberately oversized silhouette softened by carnation gold details and crystal hour markers against a blue sunray dial. The all-over ion-plating carries the colour consistently from case to bracelet, so the watch reads as a single piece rather than components assembled together. At 40mm on a women's bracelet it wears with some presence, and the sunray finish means the dial shifts noticeably between direct light and shade. The push-button deployment clasp keeps the fit precise day to day without the minor variation of a standard fold-over.

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?
19mm. 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.
