Stepping up in the same colour and case shape
The Lexington line is Michael Kors shorthand for dressed-up boldness: a fluted bezel borrowed from the language of classic luxury watchmaking, worn without apology on a bracelet that goes straight through to a push-button deployant clasp. At 38mm it sits at the larger end of what the range offers, which suits the all-gold presentation — a dial and case this uniform in colour need a certain amount of presence to carry it off, and they get it. At 136 grams on the wrist the bracelet has perceptible weight, which tends to read as quality in this kind of piece. The chronograph subdials add structure to the dial without complicating it, and the date sits cleanly alongside them. The lume is limited to the hands rather than the markers, so low-light legibility is modest — functional in a dark restaurant, not a tool-watch claim.

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.
Has the price changed recently?
It's currently at its lowest recorded price since we began tracking it. It's ranged between £139 and £140, today it's £139.
