Marc Jacobs Men’s Chronograph 46mm Gunmetal Watch (MBM5028)

A gunmetal case is what the Marc Jacobs MBM5028 is built around, in a substantial case. It measures 46 mm across. Case and Wrist Presence \n The case measures 46 mm in diameter. It is finished in gunmetal throughout. The surface treatment is polished. \n At 46 mm it reads as a statement piece without becoming unwearable, and suits a wrist of roughly 17 cm upwards. \n Movement and Functions \n A quartz movement drives the watch. That means accuracy which needs no daily attention, no winding routine, and no rate drift to correct. \n \n Chronograph – stopwatch timing from the dial \n \n Strap, Clasp and Fit \n The bracelet is gunmetal stainless steel. Links can be removed by any competent jeweller or watchmaker for a precise fit. \n Who This Watch Suits \n \n Larger wrists that swallow a conventional 40 mm to 42 mm case \n The buyer who wants unmistakable wrist presence without a precious-metal price \n Anyone who will actually use a stopwatch – or simply wants the busier dial that comes with one \n Gift buyers looking for something recognisable, boxed and properly warranted \n \n Styling Notes \n Gunmetal is the most forgiving of the metal tones. It sits against black, charcoal, navy, olive and raw denim without competing with anything else on the wrist, and it works with both silver and black jewellery. \n Care and Maintenance \n A watch at this level rewards very little maintenance, but the little it asks for makes the difference between one that still looks sharp in five years and one that does not. Have the battery replaced by a watchmaker rather than a kiosk – a proper service reseats the case gasket at the same time, which is what actually preserves the water rating. A flat battery left in the case is the single most common cause of avoidable movement damage. A bracelet collects more than people expect. A soft toothbrush, warm water and a drop of dish soap along the links once a season keeps it looking new. \n Keep it clear of perfume and solvents, off the speaker on your desk, and out of direct sun when you take it off. \n About the Brand and Ownership \n The appeal of a Marc Jacobs is that it is unmistakable. You are buying a design point of view rather than an anonymous case with a dial in it. Quartz keeps the running costs near zero – a battery every few years and the occasional seal check is the whole of the maintenance schedule. Basic care goes a long way – keep it clear of solvents and perfume, rinse the strap if it has been in salt water, and store it somewhere dry. \n The Short Version \n What you are getting is a big watch that knows it is a big watch, a chronograph dial with enough going on to hold your eye. A bracelet that gives it weight on the wrist rounds it out. It is not trying to be a heirloom piece and it does not price itself like one. It is a well-made, recognisable watch that does the job every day and looks considered doing it. \n Technical Specifications \n \n Attribute Specification \n Brand Marc Jacobs \n Model / Reference MBM5028 \n Gender Men’s (46 mm case) \n EAN 4051432654473 \n Case Diameter 46 mm \n Case Colour Gunmetal \n Case Finish Polished \n Movement Quartz \n Strap / Bracelet Stainless steel bracelet \n Strap Colour Gunmetal \n Warranty 24 months \n \n Buying With Confidence \n Buying a watch online comes down to trusting the seller, so here is exactly what you get.
