Stepping up in Michael Kors's range
The Brecken Chronograph wears its all-black look consistently throughout: the 44mm round case is built from black ion-plated stainless steel, 12mm thick, with a fixed black bezel and a matching black link bracelet 24mm wide, secured by a double push-button deployment clasp. The black dial carries Roman numeral hour markers and black hands, with three sub-dials tracking 60 seconds, 60 minutes, and 24 hours. A date window sits at an angle between four and five o'clock. The mineral crystal is scratch-resistant, and the screw-down case back supports 100 metres of water resistance.

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.
