Stepping up in Michael Kors's range
The Lexington collection is Michael Kors at its most deliberate about borrowed prestige — the fluted coin-edge bezel lifts a detail associated with a particular Swiss institution and pairs it with a tri-compax chronograph layout that signals sport. The finish does something more considered than most fashion pieces manage: gunmetal and rose gold PVD alternate across the case and carry through the bracelet in matched proportion, so nothing reads as an afterthought. At 44mm it sits large on the wrist, which is the point of the collection, and 170 grams on a jubilee-style bracelet means it makes itself felt throughout the day. The grey sunburst dial handles the rose gold indexing well in shifting light — the warm tone reads clearly against the cool ground without the contrast becoming garish. The folding clasp adjusts by link removal at a jeweller rather than offering a micro-adjust, so getting the fit exactly right is a one-time job worth doing properly.

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?
22mm. 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.
