Stepping up in the same colour and case shape
At 48mm with a 13mm profile, the Dylan is built to be seen — this is a watch that reads as bold from across a room, the gold PVD case pulling against the matte black dial in a contrast that holds in most lighting. The chronograph subdials and date window at six o'clock keep things practical without softening the look. The 24mm lug width and silicone strap make it comfortable enough to wear through activity, and the 100m rating means it handles water without ceremony. The lume on hands and markers is functional rather than exceptional — adequate for a dimly lit room, not a dark ocean floor.

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?
24mm. 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 men's.
