Stepping up in the same colour and case shape
From the Riley collection, this is a full-commitment monochromatic piece — case, bracelet and dial all finished in blue PVD, with a sunray effect on the dial face that shifts under changing light. The one break in the palette is a red and blue colour-blocked ring running the bezel edge, a deliberate nod to the brand's house colours that keeps the whole thing readable as a Tommy Hilfiger without needing a logo to do the work. At 44mm across but only 11mm deep, it carries more easily on the wrist than that footprint suggests, and the slim profile means it moves under a cuff without resistance. The date sits at twelve rather than the conventional three, which reinforces the symmetry the dial is clearly working towards. At 150 grams the bracelet has real weight behind it — this is not a watch that disappears on the wrist.

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?
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.
