The Michael Kors Parker MK5896 is a statement of elegant femininity and precision timekeeping. This distinctive chronograph watch combines lustrous rose gold-tone stainless steel with blush acetate centre links, creating a sophisticated two-tone aesthetic that sets it apart from conventional timepieces. The 39mm case is encircled by a stunning bezel set with glittering crystals, framing a rose-toned dial adorned with three chronograph sub-dials and applied Arabic numeral hour markers. The watch's quartz movement ensures accurate timekeeping, while the date window at 4 o'clock adds everyday practicality to its glamorous design.
At Cassim & Co., we are proud to be an authorised retailer for MICHAEL KORS watches, ensuring that every timepiece comes with full manufacturer warranty and genuine authentication. The Parker MK5896 is crafted for the modern woman who appreciates both form and function — its water resistance to 50 metres protects against everyday splashes, while the mineral crystal safeguards the dial from scratches. The two-tone bracelet, featuring alternating rose gold-tone steel and blush acetate links, fastens with a secure fold-over clasp with push-button release.
This chronograph complication offers split-second timing capabilities across three sub-dials, allowing you to track elapsed minutes, seconds, and continuous seconds. The rose gold sunray dial creates a warm luminosity that catches the light beautifully, while the crystal-set bezel adds a touch of luxury to every wrist movement. Whether worn for special occasions or as an everyday statement piece, the Parker MK5896 transitions seamlessly from boardroom to evening engagements.

FAQ
Q: Is the Michael Kors Parker MK5896 suitable for swimming?
A: With 50 metres water resistance, this watch is splash-resistant and suitable for hand washing and light rain exposure. However, it is not recommended for swimming, showering, or water sports. The acetate components and chronograph pushers should not be exposed to submersion.
Q: How do I operate the chronograph function on this watch?
A: The chronograph is operated via the pushers on either side of the crown. The top pusher starts and stops the timing function, while the bottom pusher resets the chronograph hands to zero. The three sub-dials track continuous seconds, elapsed minutes, and elapsed hours.
Q: What is the difference between the rose gold-tone steel and the blush acetate links?
A: The rose gold-tone links are made from stainless steel with a PVD rose gold coating, while the blush acetate centre links are crafted from a durable resin-based material that provides a softer, translucent peachy-pink aesthetic. This two-tone combination creates the signature Parker look.
Q: How often will the battery need replacing?
A: Quartz watch batteries typically last between 2 to 3 years depending on usage of the chronograph function. Our watch servicing team at Cassim & Co. can replace the battery using genuine components to maintain your warranty coverage.
Q: Can the bracelet be resized to fit my wrist?
A: Yes, the bracelet can be professionally resized by removing or adding links. We provide complimentary sizing service with purchase at our Mall of the South boutique. Due to the alternating steel and acetate link design, resizing should be performed by trained professionals.
Q: Are the crystals on the bezel genuine or simulated?
A: The bezel is adorned with simulated crystals specifically selected and set by Michael Kors for their brilliance and durability. These are not natural gemstones but high-quality fashion crystals designed to complement the watch's aesthetic.
Q: Is this watch covered by the official Michael Kors warranty when purchased from Cassim & Co.?
A: Yes, absolutely. As an authorised Michael Kors retailer, all our watches come with the full 2-year international manufacturer warranty, complete with official warranty documentation and authentication.
Warranty
- This watch is covered by a 2-year international Michael Kors warranty from the date of purchase.
- The warranty is valid only when the watch is purchased from an authorised Michael Kors retailer such as Cassim & Co.
- The warranty covers manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship under normal use conditions.
- The warranty does not cover normal wear and tear, including scratches to the case, crystal, or bracelet, nor discolouration of plating or acetate components.
- Battery replacement is not covered under warranty, as batteries are considered consumable items with a limited lifespan.
- Water damage resulting from misuse, failure to observe water resistance limitations, or operating pushers/crown while wet is not covered.
- Accidental damage, improper handling, unauthorised modifications, or servicing by non-authorised technicians will void the warranty.
- The warranty requires presentation of the original purchase receipt and completed warranty card.
- Cassim & Co. as an authorised retailer will facilitate all warranty claims and communicate directly with Michael Kors on your behalf.
- After the warranty period expires, our watch servicing team remains available to provide ongoing maintenance and repairs using genuine components.
Care Guide
- Avoid exposing the watch to extreme temperatures, direct sunlight for prolonged periods, or magnetic fields which may affect timekeeping accuracy.
- Do not operate the chronograph pushers or adjust the crown while the watch is wet or submerged, as this may compromise water resistance.
- Clean the rose gold-tone stainless steel and blush acetate bracelet regularly with a soft, dry cloth to remove oils and perspiration. For deeper cleaning, use a slightly damp cloth and dry immediately.
- The acetate links require gentle care — avoid contact with harsh chemicals, perfumes, cosmetics, and cleaning solvents which may cause discolouration or damage.
- Store the watch in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not being worn. A watch box or soft pouch is recommended to prevent scratches.
- Have the water resistance seals checked every 12-18 months, particularly before any water exposure, as gaskets deteriorate over time.
- If the watch is not worn regularly, operate the chronograph function monthly to ensure the mechanism remains lubricated and functional.
- Should the crystal become scratched or damaged, have it replaced promptly to maintain water resistance and protect the dial.
- For battery replacement, always use our authorised service centre to ensure genuine components are fitted and water resistance is properly tested and restored.
- Avoid impact and dropping the watch, as this may damage the quartz movement or dislodge the bezel crystals.
