The Michael Kors MK6978 sets gold-toned Roman numerals and chronograph hands against an all-black case, on a bracelet broken up by cut-out “MK” links. \n Case and Wrist Presence \n The case is 42 mm, finished in black throughout, with a plain black bezel that lets the gold dial detailing carry the contrast. Chronograph pushers sit either side of the crown. \n Dial and Legibility \n The dial is black, with full Roman numerals at twelve and gold stick markers at the remaining hours. Three sub-dials in gold-ringed black handle the chronograph counters, with a date window built into the lower counter. \n Movement and Functions \n A quartz movement drives both the timekeeping and the chronograph, so there is no winding and no rate to manage. The chronograph times an event across its three counters, and the date window tracks the day of the month independently. \n Strap, Clasp and Fit \n The bracelet is black-toned steel, its centre links cut through with the brand’s “MK” monogram in gold. A jeweller can adjust the fit the same way as with any metal bracelet. \n Who This Watch Suits \n \n Someone who wants a black-and-gold combination rather than an all-metal tone \n A working chronograph rather than a purely decorative sub-dial layout \n A bracelet with a distinctive cut-out pattern rather than plain links \n \n Care and Maintenance \n Wipe the case and bracelet with a soft, damp cloth rather than anything abrasive, which can mark a black finish more visibly than a plain steel one. Have the battery changed by a watchmaker rather than a kiosk. \n About the Brand \n Michael Kors uses cut-out “MK” bracelet links across several of its bolder pieces, and the black-and-gold pairing here is one of the more graphic finishes in that format. \n Technical Specifications \n \n Attribute Specification \n Brand Michael Kors \n Model / Reference MK6978 \n Gender Women’s \n EAN 796483540095 \n Case Diameter 42 mm \n Case Material Black-toned steel, PVD \n Dial Black, Roman numerals, gold accents \n Movement Quartz \n Functions Chronograph, date \n Bracelet Black-toned steel, cut-out “MK” links \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, covered by a 24-month international manufacturer warranty on the movement, excluding the battery and normal wear.
