Stepping up in the same dial colour
The Runway collection is Michael Kors' long-running answer to a specific appetite: a watch that reads as a fashion accessory first, with enough horological function to justify the chronograph subdials. The MK5145 pushes that further than most entries in the line by mixing gold PVD and white silicone in a single bracelet — a hybrid construction where the centre links are wrapped in silicone rather than left as bare metal, which softens the wear against the wrist and gives the two-tone effect something structural to do rather than being purely decorative. At 38mm with a 46mm lug-to-lug span, the case sits prominently without tipping into the territory of wearing a men's watch. The white dial and matching bezel insert keep the gold from feeling heavy, and 120 grams is noticeable — this is not a watch that disappears on the wrist, and it is not trying to be.

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.
Will it fit my wrist?
Lug-to-lug is 46mm, which suits wrists from roughly 16cm (6¼ inches) upward.
Lug-to-lug decides fit more than case diameter does.
How to size a watch to your wristIs it a men's or women's watch?
Listed as women's, though at 38mm it sits in the range that suits anyone.
