The Michael Kors Bradshaw MK5976 is a commanding chronograph timepiece that merges contemporary design with refined horological functionality. Housed in a generous 43mm round case crafted from polished stainless steel with gold-tone accents, this watch delivers bold presence on the wrist while maintaining the sophisticated aesthetic Michael Kors is renowned for. The striking blue dial features prominent Roman numeral hour markers in gold-tone, three chronograph sub-dials for elapsed time measurement, and a practical date window positioned at 4 o'clock. A scratch-resistant mineral crystal protects the dial, ensuring lasting clarity and durability through daily wear.

The two-tone stainless steel bracelet—alternating polished silver and gold-tone centre links—creates a luxurious visual contrast that complements both business attire and casual ensembles. With 100 metres of water resistance, this timepiece is suitable for everyday wear including hand washing and light swimming, though diving and high-pressure water sports should be avoided.

FAQ
Q: Is the Michael Kors Bradshaw MK5976 suitable for swimming?
A: Yes, with 100 metres of water resistance, the Bradshaw MK5976 is suitable for swimming, showering, and recreational water activities. However, it should not be used for diving, high-impact water sports, or exposure to hot water such as saunas, as these can compromise the seals and water resistance.
Q: How does the chronograph function work on this watch?
A: The chronograph feature allows you to measure elapsed time using the three sub-dials on the blue dial. The pushers on the right side of the case control the chronograph: the top pusher starts and stops the chronograph function, while the bottom pusher resets it to zero. The sub-dials typically measure elapsed seconds, minutes, and hours.
Q: What type of battery does this watch use and how often does it need replacing?
A: The MK5976 uses a standard quartz watch battery. Battery life typically ranges from 2 to 3 years depending on usage of the chronograph function. When battery replacement is needed, our watch servicing and repairs team can replace it while ensuring the water resistance seals are properly maintained.
Q: Can the bracelet be resized to fit my wrist?
A: Yes, the two-tone stainless steel bracelet can be professionally resized by removing or adding links. We offer complimentary bracelet sizing with purchase at our Mall of the South boutique. If you order online, you can visit us in-store for sizing or contact our team for guidance on having it sized locally.
Q: Is this watch covered by a manufacturer warranty?
A: Yes, when purchased from an authorised retailer like Cassim & Co., the MK5976 comes with a 2-year international Michael Kors warranty covering manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship. The warranty does not cover normal wear and tear, battery replacement, accidental damage, or water damage due to misuse.
Q: What is the difference between mineral crystal and sapphire crystal?
A: This watch features scratch-resistant mineral crystal, which offers good protection against everyday scratches and impacts at an accessible price point. Mineral crystal is more shatter-resistant than sapphire but slightly less scratch-resistant. For a fashion-forward timepiece like the Bradshaw, mineral crystal provides excellent durability for daily wear.
Q: Is the gold-tone finish on this watch real gold?
A: No, the gold-tone elements are created using a PVD (Physical Vapour Deposition) or similar plating process applied to stainless steel. This creates a durable, long-lasting gold colour that resists fading and tarnishing. With proper care, the two-tone finish will maintain its appearance for many years.

Care Guide
- Wipe the case and bracelet regularly with a soft, lint-free cloth to remove fingerprints, dust, and oils that accumulate during daily wear.
- Clean the two-tone stainless steel bracelet periodically with lukewarm water and mild soap using a soft brush, ensuring the crown is pushed in or screwed down fully before cleaning. Dry thoroughly with a soft cloth.
- Avoid exposing the watch to extreme temperatures, strong magnetic fields, chemicals, solvents, perfumes, and cosmetics, as these can damage the movement, seals, or finish.
- Although water-resistant to 100 metres, always ensure the crown is pushed in completely before water exposure. Never operate the crown or chronograph pushers while the watch is wet or submerged.
- Have the battery replaced by a professional watchmaker when the watch stops or shows weak timekeeping. Battery replacement should include a water resistance pressure test and seal inspection.
- Store the watch in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not wearing it. A watch box or soft pouch is ideal for preventing scratches.
- Avoid impact and shock to the watch, particularly to the mineral crystal and chronograph pushers, as these components can be damaged by hard knocks.
- The gold-tone PVD finish is durable but can show wear over time with heavy use. Avoid abrasive materials and have the watch professionally serviced if refinishing is needed.
- We recommend a professional service every 3-4 years to ensure optimal performance, including movement cleaning, lubrication, and water resistance testing.
