Stepping up in the same colour and case shape
A 38 mm gold-plated stainless steel case, 11 mm thick, carries a brushed champagne dial with alternating Arabic numerals and baton indexes. Three sub-dials track 60-second, 30-minute, and 24-hour chronograph intervals, while a date window sits diagonally between the four and five o'clock positions. The luminous gold-tone hands are legible without being heavy. Mineral glass covers the dial, and a solid screw-down caseback completes the case. The bracelet combines brushed and polished links at 20 mm wide, secured by a fold-over deployment clasp with dual push-button release. Water resistance stands at 100 metres.

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?
Yes. At 100m it is rated for swimming and snorkelling, though not for diving.
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?
20mm. 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, though at 38mm it sits in the range that suits anyone.
