Stepping up in Tommy Hilfiger's range
The Mason collection sits at the sportier end of Tommy Hilfiger's range — broad-cased, bracelet-wearing, and built to read clearly at a glance. What looks at first like a chronograph is actually a three-register calendar display tracking day, date, and a 24-hour window, all driven by an SII-manufactured quartz movement, the same Japanese sub-assembly found in watches produced well above this tier. At 45mm the case makes a confident mark on the wrist, but 10.5mm of thickness keeps it from stacking up under a cuff the way many watches this wide tend to. The navy dial wears differently depending on the light — closer to midnight indoors, noticeably brighter in daylight — with silver baton indices and a small flag logo beneath twelve giving it a clean, uncluttered face despite three sub-dials. The integrated three-link bracelet is sized down via removable push-pin links, and the dual push-button deployment clasp holds it securely without fuss.

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?
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.
Cheapest place to buy
F.Hinds is the only UK retailer we track stocking this reference, so there is nothing to compare it against today.
Has the price changed recently?
It's currently at its highest recorded price. It's ranged between £122 and £159, today it's £159.
