Michael Kors Men’s Accelerator 2.0 Chronograph 44mm Two-Tone Watch (MK9188)

The Accelerator 2.0 name points at what the Michael Kors MK9188 is going for: a 44 mm motorsport-styled chronograph with a tachymeter bezel and a chequered dial finish. \n Case and Wrist Presence \n The case measures 44 mm and mixes brushed silver-tone steel with polished gold-tone accents on the bezel, crown and pushers. At this size it reads as a proper statement piece and wants a fuller wrist to sit right under a cuff. \n Dial and Legibility \n The dial is white with a chequered flag pattern across the surface and gold-tone arabic numerals at 12 and 6. Two chronograph counters sit at 9 and 3, with a date window at 4 o’clock, and the tachymeter scale runs around the outer edge of the dial rather than the bezel. It is a busier face than a plain three-hand watch, but the white background keeps everything legible. \n Movement and Functions \n A quartz movement drives the watch. \n \n Chronograph – stopwatch timing from the sub-dials, paired with the tachymeter scale \n Date display – at 4 o’clock \n \n Strap, Clasp and Fit \n The bracelet is two-tone gold and silver stainless steel, matched link for link to the case. \n Who This Watch Suits \n \n Anyone who likes overt motorsport styling on a dress-watch bracelet \n Someone who will actually use the tachymeter and chronograph together \n Gift buyers after something with more visual presence than a plain three-hand watch \n \n Care and Maintenance \n Have the battery changed by a watchmaker rather than a kiosk – a proper service checks the case gasket at the same time, which is what protects against everyday moisture. A flat battery left sitting in the case for months is the most common cause of avoidable movement damage. Rinse the bracelet under fresh water occasionally and dry it fully, since gold-tone plating shows watermarks more readily than plain steel. Store it away from magnets and out of direct heat. \n About the Brand \n Michael Kors watches sit in the sweet spot between fashion and function: a recognisable design language, real build quality, and a price that never asks you to treat the watch as an investment. \n Technical Specifications \n \n Attribute Specification \n Brand Michael Kors \n Model / Reference MK9188 \n Collection Accelerator 2.0 \n Gender Men’s \n EAN 4064092310535 \n Case Diameter 44 mm \n Case Colour Two-tone gold and silver \n Dial Colour White \n Dial Markers Arabic \n Movement Quartz \n Bracelet Two-tone gold and silver steel \n Warranty 24 months \n \n Buying With Confidence \n The watch ships new and unworn in its original box with the manufacturer’s paperwork, and the 24-month international manufacturer warranty runs from the date you receive it.
