Michael Kors MK4986 Lexington Green Dial Ladies Watch
Ref. MK4986
Sits in Michael Kors’s upper tier here — more premium than three quarters of the Michael Kors watches we list, which start at £109.
Price range £109 to £299 across 266 Michael Kors watches in stock.The Lexington is Michael Kors' case for a watch that reads closer to a bracelet than a tool — small, flat, and finished with the kind of care usually spent on jewellery. The green sunray dial with crystal-set markers gives this version a particular character: the surface shifts between deep and bright depending on the light, while the two-tone case ties silver and gold tones together without favouring either. At 26mm across and 7mm deep, it is built for slender wrists and sits flush against the skin rather than projecting from it. At 85 grams the bracelet has enough presence to feel considered without pulling at the wrist over a long day. The deployant clasp allows the fit to be dialled in by removing individual links — a small thing that matters more on a watch this size, where a loose fit looks wrong immediately.

Learn more about Michael Kors
Michael Kors founded his label in New York in 1981 and built it on accessible American luxury. The watches are produced under licence by Fossil Group and have been among the highest-volume fashion watches sold worldwide.
The design leans decorative: gold and rose gold plating, pavé crystal settings, oversized chronograph subdials that are frequently non-functional, and bracelets that echo the jewellery line. Movements are quartz.
These are styling-led accessories, priced accordingly, and they are honest about what they are.

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.
Will the glass scratch?
It can, over time. Mineral glass handles daily wear but will pick up fine scratches that sapphire would not.
Does it need a battery?
Yes. It is quartz, so expect a battery change every two to three years at a jeweller.
What size strap does it take?
14mm. 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 women's.
