Stepping up in the same dial colour
The Norah is Tommy Hilfiger's answer to the dress-watch-as-jewellery question: a mini-tonneau case at 22mm that sits closer to a bracelet charm than to a conventional watch face, paired with a chain-link bracelet narrow enough at 10mm to pass as a fine metal band. The proportions are deliberately retro, recalling the slim cocktail watches of earlier decades. What makes it work is the contrast between materials: the polished steel case against a gold-ion bezel, and both of those against a midnight blue sunray dial with Roman numerals. The dial catches light differently depending on angle, and the depth of that blue keeps it from reading as purely decorative. The deployment clasp is a considered choice on a bracelet this delicate — easier to manage than a fold-over and kinder to the links over time.

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?
10mm. 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.
