Stepping up in Michael Kors's range
The Runway XL is built on a single, unapologetic premise: maximum presence. The champagne dial carries no hour markers and no numerals — just the interlocking MK logo embossed across the centre, which means the watch reads as an object before it reads as a timepiece. At 45mm in gold PVD and 215 grams on the wrist, it wears closer to a man's dress watch than anything sized for convention, and that is entirely the intention behind the Runway line. The bracelet sits flush and heavy, and the folding clasp with dual push-button release holds it securely without fuss. Links are friction-pin fitted, so a jeweller or a steady hand with a basic tool kit can size it down without specialist work — worth knowing given how far 45mm sits from a narrow wrist.

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.
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?
23mm. 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.
