The deep blue sunray dial and polished steel accents make it a versatile accessory for both casual and business-casual attire.
Key Features
Sub-dial multifunction layout; iconic red, white, and blue logo branding; decorative open-work dial elements usually reserved for mechanical watches used here for aesthetic flair.

Sunray blue dial with a unique 'semi-skeletonized' or open-heart decorative element on the right side. Applied baton indices, sword-style hands with thin lume strips, and three sub-dials for calendar functions. Tommy Hilfiger flag logo at 12 o'clock.
Case Material
Stainless steel with a polished and brushed finish. Some versions feature grey or blue Ion-Plating (IP) to match the dial aesthetic.
Crystal Type
Flat Mineral Glass. This is standard for fashion-tier watches; it provides decent impact resistance but is susceptible to scratching compared to sapphire.
Bezel Details
Fixed, polished stainless steel bezel with a clean, thin profile to maximize the visual surface area of the dial.
Crown & Pushers
Push-pull crown at 3 o'clock with the Hilfiger logo. Flanked by two pushers that control the quick-set functions for the day and date sub-dials.
Bracelet or Strap
Three-link 'Oyster-style' stainless steel bracelet with a push-button deployment clasp and safety latch.

Origin & Provenance
American Brand; Movement is Japanese (typically Epson); Assembly is usually completed in China. An outsourced manufacturing model typical of licensed fashion watches.
Age Estimate
Circa 2018-2023. This design language reflects the brand's contemporary 'Parker' or 'Lars' collections popular in current retail environments.

Value Estimate
MSRP: $175 - $195. Secondary market value: $60 - $110 depending on battery life and proximity to 'new' condition.
Care & Maintenance
Battery changes every 2-3 years. Avoid high-heat environments (saunas) and ensure the crown is fully pushed in before contact with water. Clean the steel links with a soft cloth to maintain the polish.
