Michael Kors MK8726 Black Dial Gold Tone Men's Watch
Ref. MK8726
Sits in Michael Kors’s upper tier here — more premium than three quarters of the Michael Kors watches we list, which start at £109.
Price range £109 to £299 across 173 Michael Kors watches in stock.A 44mm yellow gold-plated stainless steel case houses a jet black sunray dial, the contrast between the two giving the watch a clean, direct character. The fixed bezel carries a black top-ring with gold indexes, while the dial itself features luminous gold-tone stick markers and three sub-dials tracking chronograph minutes, seconds, and 24-hour time. The date sits between four and five o'clock. At 11mm thick, the case wears with some presence on the wrist. A gold-tone stainless steel link bracelet, 22mm wide, fastens with a two-pusher foldover deployment clasp. Water resistance stands at 50 metres.

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?
Showering yes, swimming no. 50m covers splashes and brief immersion, but a swimming stroke generates well above the pressure that figure describes.
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?
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.
