You’d look great wearing this timepiece applying for a job as you would enjoying dinner with your boss and co-workers. It is understated and sleek enough to look great in a wide range of occasions.

FEATURES

The intensity and brightness of the gold color of this watch don’t come off as gaudy, cheap, or in any way over the top. This alone is worth a ton of kudos.

With a gold-tone stainless steel case, a croc-embossed brown leather strap, and a white dial, the Tommy Hilfiger 1790874 is the epitome of elegance. Three sub-dials are likewise exhibited, two of which show the day and date, and a third displays the time in military fashion. The Hilfiger watch design team also designed dual time capabilities to this model. If you travel between different time zones frequently, this feature will definitely make time adjustment less of a headache.

DESIGN

Silver dial with gold-tone hands and Arabic numeral hour markers. Quartz movement. Scratch resistant sapphire crystal. Pull/push crown. Solid case back. Case diameter: 44 mm. Case thickness: 12.5 mm. Round case shape. Bandwidth: 21 mm. Tang clasp. Gold-plated stainless steel case with a brown embossed leather strap. Minute markers around the outer rim. Dial Type: Analog. Fixed gold-plated stainless steel bezel. Three multi-function sub-dials displaying: 24-hour, date and day of the week. Water resistant at 50 meters / 165 feet.

FINAL REMARKS

If you are looking for a watch that speaks to your personal elegance, understated charm, and classy sensibilities, you simply can’t go wrong with the Tommy Hilfiger Men’s 1790874 Watch. Regardless of your budget, this watch should be at the top of your dress watch options because it is so affordable and well put-together as far as looks go.

Review of SEIKO Prospex Street Sports Watch with Silicone Band - SNE535P1

By 4dwatch - May 03, 2019

The new Seiko SNE533P1 falls towards the latter, which is more urbanized in its design cues. Inspired by the 1975 original Seiko Diver’s watch, this watch features the same iconic outer protector, in a more compact design, perfect for urban living. This watch is executed in a modern style, with a reinforced case, lightweight yet robust, to be perfectly matched with daily or town use. Powered by almost any source of light, when fully charged, the power reserve can last up to 10 months. As part of the Prospex collection, this model is a guaranteed premium timepiece with all the finery expected from Seiko's superior sport model series.

ABOUT SEIKO

In 2019, Seiko set a new standard with the craftsmanship of their new range. Collaborating the classy style of dress watches, with their new mechanisms and technology. Bringing to life a range of watches different to anything they've done before. Seiko has always been known for its world-class diver’s watches, purpose-built and rugged, ready to take on any challenge, above and below the water.

FEATURES

The Seiko Prospex Solar Street Series Olive SNE535P1 features their proprietary Solar caliber V157 that operates for a good 10 months when fully charged. It has an accuracy of +/- 15 seconds per month. The watch uses low key colors on its case, bezel, strap, and dial. However, it has the same legibility as the rest of the Seiko divers due to its large and lumed hour markers and wide hands. The crown has screw-down protection to prevent it from being pulled out by any accidental operation. Greater security is achieved by positioning the screw-lock crown at the 4 o'clock position.

DESIGN

Displays date at the 4 o'clock position. Hardlex crystal lens. 200 meters water resistant. Reinforced silicone band that can withstand harsh operating environments. Navy silicone strap watch finished with a buckle clasp to ensure security on the wrist. The classic styling of this piece gives it an understated look while keeping all of the features of a divers watch. The easy to read dial features luminous indexes and hands. The precise and safe operation of the uni-directional bezel prevents accidental rotation. This is to prevent the watch from displaying the elapsed time shorter than it actually is. There are three color variants namely blue (SNE533P1), green (SNE535P1) and grey (SNE537P1).

FINAL REMARKS

The design of this model echoes that of the iconic shrouded diver from 1975 except it is executed with a modern style. It is smaller and lightweight, thus making it more suitable for daily use.

Review of SEIKO Brown Leather Watch SRPC99J1

By 4dwatch - May 03, 2019

The Golden Champagne Cocktail model from Seiko Presage is characterized by its champagne hands inspired by a cocktail, the Golden Champagne. This Presage cocktail watch has a mechanism that is an in-house-built 4R35 automatic movement. This caliber movement is complete with 23 Jewels and a 41-hour power reserve.
Japanese cocktail is a well-known and much-admired aspect of the Japanese culture and provides inspiration for this new Presage collection. The hands are delicately curved by the craftsmen. By turning the crown in a unique way, you can feel the force of the automatic movement. Both in design and manufacturing values, Presage belongs firmly in this tradition and offers the very highest levels of reliability and durability over time. Each Presage watch is built to last for generations.

ABOUT SEIKO

FEATURES

This is a new variant of the 4R35 cocktail time model except it has a different dial texture. These models of Seiko Presage Fuyugeshiki Star Bar Cocktail use two different calibers; 4R35 offers the thinness and simplicity of a three-hand arrangement, while 4R57 offers a central power reserve indicator.

The eight creations of the Seiko Presage Cocktail collection shares the subtle design details that made the original model so well-known. The sun-ray dials have a deep, pressed pattern that resplendent beauty is enhanced by seven layers of a glossy finish and the clarity of the box-shaped crystals.

DESIGN

Seiko Presage "Cocktail Time" Automatic Watch (SRPC99J1). Caliber 4R57 automatic movement with 41 hours power reserve. 3 gold-toned hands with Calendar. Champagne cocktail time dial with index hour markers, and a date window at the 3 o’clock position. Fixed stainless steel bezel set on a 41mm stainless steel case. Box-shaped Hardlex crystal & exhibition case-back. Water resistant to 50 Meters. Brown calf leather strap with push-button triple folding deployment clasp. Made in Japan.

FINAL REMARKS

Long lasting beauty and long-lasting performance express the deep desires of Japanese culture and are therefore at the heart of Japanese craftsmanship. The luxury fashion Seiko’s watches are particularly impressive and worth every penny of their considerable price tags.

Review of SEIKO PROSPEX Great Blue Hole Special Edition Diver's 200m Automatic Watch SPB083J1

By 4dwatch - May 02, 2019

This watch is inspired by the 1968 original diver's watch, re-created with a thinner bezel. It's powered by a 6R15 automatic movement, which beats at 21,600 times an hour. It's a great watch with a ton of wrist presence. The blue and black sunray dial really make this model stand out over the other black dialed models. The easy to read dial features luminous indexes and contemporary hands. The first impression that I got about the Seiko Prospex SPB083J1 after strapping it on is that this watch has a truly unique dial. The stunning blue gradient fill direction is different. The new Seiko has greatly improved the functionality, with the sapphire crystal, with more than 200 meters of water resistance in addition to the stainless steel strap.

ABOUT SEIKO

FEATURES

As part of the Prospex collection, this model is a guaranteed premium timepiece with all the finery expected from Seiko's superior sport model series. The Seiko house launches a limited version with unique features. Inspired by the sea of coral, the indexes express rays of sunlight penetrating to the bottom of the sea. Bezel and crown work smoothly as you'd expect, and it's been keeping time within a few seconds per day. Chapter ring lines up. The lume is typical Seiko excellent. The Seiko Prospex SPB083J1 uses Seiko’s trusty 6R15 automatic movement to ensure it provides dependable time-giving services to its owners.

DESIGN

It starts from a light blue pillar occupying the markers in the middle and transitioning into dark blue towards the outer edges of the dial. Overall case diameter sits at 44mm with a lug width of 20mm. The watch uses an anti-reflective sapphire crystal and its case is treated with Seiko’s Diashield coating ensuring better scratch protection and corrosive resistance. The stainless-steel strap comes with a dive-extension and fold-over safety clasp which I found really helpful and with purpose. Seiko Prospex watch with automatic movement caliber 6R15, 21.600 alternations per hour, power reserve approximately 50 hours, stainless steel case 44 m/m in diameter and 13.05 m/m thick, black bezel, blue dial, grey indexes and hands with Superluminova treatment, anti-magnetic resistance of 4,800 A/m, water resistant 20 BAR (200 meters), sapphire crystal, stainless steel bracelet.

Pro's

Unique and Beautiful Gradient Blue Dial.
Will be a future collectible piece since it’s a Special Edition Model.

Con's

Another variant of the Seiko Prospex SPB077 and SPB079.

FINAL REMARKS

Casual on-lookers and bystanders are also attracted to the overall watch appeal and dial as it would get a noticeable amount of second looks from people. You’re sure to feel like a boss. These luxurious yet reasonably priced watches are perfect for the office and beyond.
