Marc Jacobs Chronograph Women’s 40mm Watch (MBM2596)

The MBM2596 is a genuine chronograph, built around a rotating-bezel dive-watch layout rather than the brand’s simpler three-hand fashion pieces – three subdials, a date window and a countdown-style bezel around a deep burgundy dial. \n Case and Wrist Presence \n The 40mm case is finished in rose gold-tone, with a matching rotating bezel marked off in five-minute increments. It’s a larger, sportier build than the Blade and Baker pieces in this batch, with real weight and presence on the wrist. \n Dial and Legibility \n The dial is a deep burgundy, marked with Arabic numerals at 12, 3, 6 and 9 and stick indices between. Three subdials are set at 3, 6 and 9 o’clock for the chronograph functions, with a date window at 4 o’clock. \n Movement and Functions \n Quartz chronograph movement with a date function. The three subdials handle the stopwatch’s running seconds, minutes and hours, while the rotating bezel can be used to track elapsed time separately from the chronograph itself. \n Strap, Clasp and Fit \n The bracelet combines rose gold-tone metal links with burgundy silicone inserts, matching the dial. It’s a sturdier build than a plain leather strap, suited to daily wear. \n Who This Watch Suits \n \n Someone who wants an actual working chronograph rather than a decorative dial \n A 40mm case with real wrist presence \n Burgundy and rose gold-tone as a rich, distinctive colourway \n \n Care and Maintenance \n Reset the chronograph hands to zero before storing the watch for any length of time, since a jammed pusher can be mistaken for a fault. Wipe the bracelet down with a damp cloth rather than harsh solvents. Have the battery replaced by a watchmaker experienced with chronograph movements, and have the case seal checked at the same time. \n About the Brand \n This chronograph sits apart from Marc Jacobs’ fashion-watch lines – a proper multi-function build with a rotating bezel and genuine subdials, aimed at a sportier customer than the Blade or Baker pieces. \n Technical Specifications \n \n Attribute Specification \n Brand Marc Jacobs \n Model / Reference MBM2596 \n Gender Women’s \n Case Diameter 40mm \n Case Colour Rose gold \n Dial Markers Arabic \n Movement Quartz \n Functions Chronograph, date \n Bracelet Rose gold-tone with silicone insert \n \n Buying With Confidence \n The MBM2596 ships new and unworn in its original box with the manufacturer’s paperwork, backed by a 24-month international manufacturer warranty on the movement, excluding battery and normal wear.
