Marc by Marc Jacobs Women’s 46mm Chronograph Watch (MBM5052)

Every surface on this watch is black, from the case down to the last link of the bracelet, so the 46mm chronograph reads as one solid block on the wrist rather than a case sitting on a strap. \n Case and Wrist Presence \n The 46mm stainless steel case is coated in a black PVD finish, a hard-wearing plating that resists scratching to bare metal better than paint. Brushed bracelet links keep the black tone matte rather than glossy, so it doesn’t flash under bright light the way a polished case would. \n Dial and Legibility \n White Arabic numerals sit against the black dial at every hour, giving strong contrast that’s easy to read even in low light. A date window at 3 o’clock breaks up the black face with a small white panel. \n Movement and Functions \n Two sub-dials handle the chronograph function, sitting just off-centre on the dial with white detailing that echoes the numerals. The pushers either side of the crown start, stop and reset the stopwatch independently of the date. \n Strap Clasp and Fit \n The bracelet carries the same black finish as the case, so the watch presents as a single tonal object rather than case-plus-strap. Sizing a metal bracelet is done by removing links, which gives a snug, permanent fit rather than one set by strap holes. \n Who This Watch Suits \n An all-black chronograph like this suits someone who wants a watch that pairs with anything dark in a wardrobe without drawing attention through colour. \n Care and Maintenance \n Clean the bracelet with a soft dry cloth rather than anything abrasive, which can wear through PVD plating over years of contact with a wrist. Keep it away from harsh chemicals that can dull the black coating. \n Technical Specifications \n Brand Marc Jacobs Collection Marc by Marc Jacobs Case Diameter 46mm Case Material Black PVD Stainless Steel Dial Colour Black Functions Chronograph, Date Strap Black PVD Stainless Steel Bracelet \n Buying With Confidence \n Backed by a 24-month international manufacturer warranty on the movement, excluding battery and normal wear.
