Marc Jacobs Women’s 34mm Watch (MBM1337)

The MBM1337 uses a skeleton-cut bezel: the Marc Jacobs lettering isn’t printed on top of the dial, it’s cut right through it, so you can see the blue dial colour through the open letterforms as well as around them. \n Case and Wrist Presence \n The 34mm stainless steel case sits between the brand’s smallest and largest sizes, finished in silver with a brushed surface rather than a high polish. \n Dial and Legibility \n The dial is blue, framed by a ring where the “MARC BY MARC JACOBS” lettering is cut clean through the surface rather than printed on it, so light and the case behind it show through the letters. There are no separate hour markers – the cut-out ring and the two hands are the whole story. \n Movement and Functions \n Quartz movement, hours and minutes only. \n Strap, Clasp and Fit \n Blue leather strap, matched to the dial. Leather softens with wear and takes on the shape of the wrist within the first couple of weeks. \n Who This Watch Suits \n \n Someone who wants a more three-dimensional take on the logo dial than a flat printed one \n A mid-size 34mm case that isn’t as compact as the brand’s smallest pieces \n Blue as a slightly less common colour choice than black or white \n \n Care and Maintenance \n Because the lettering is cut through the dial rather than sitting on top of it, keep the watch out of dusty environments where debris can settle into the open letterforms. Avoid soaking the strap – wet leather dries stiff and eventually cracks. Have the battery changed by a watchmaker, which also gets the case seal checked at the same time, protecting the movement from moisture afterwards. \n About the Brand \n This cut-through bezel treatment is a more technical execution of the same idea behind the plain Blade dials – the brand name doing double duty as both the decoration and the frame around the dial. \n Technical Specifications \n \n Attribute Specification \n Brand Marc Jacobs \n Model / Reference MBM1337 \n Gender Women’s \n Case Diameter 34mm \n Case Material Stainless steel \n Case Colour Silver \n Dial Colour Blue \n Movement Quartz \n Strap Blue leather \n \n Buying With Confidence \n This MBM1337 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.
