Prices at a Glance: Most Popular Michael Kors Dylan Watches

How much is a Michael Kors Dylan watch?

Like many timepieces from Michael Kors, the Dylan collection is affordable, with each piece costing just $300 USD or less. Although the price is low to midrange, the watches exceed expectations in terms of how it looks and works. 

Below are in-demand versions of the Michael Kors Dylan, what makes them popular, and how much each one is:

The Michael Kors Dylan Ref. MK8152 ($139 USD) is a 48mm-diameter sports watch that features a daring jet-black design. Although it is daubed black from the chunky stainless-steel case to the casual silicone strap, the timepiece is still easy to read because of its silver accents on the indexes and luminous hands.

Besides the hue, the timepiece is popular because it bears the iconic look of the Dylan watch. It features three sub-dials at the 3, 6, and 9 o’clock positions of its face. Furthermore, there is a big bottle cap-style crown in between two pushers on the right side of the case. The Dylan Ref. MK8152 watch is water-resistant up to 100m, which makes it usable even for underwater sports.

If the Ref. MK8152 watch is daring in black, then the Michael Kors Dylan Ref. MK8295 ($139 USD) is cool in navy blue. It is the latter sports watch’s dial and silicone strap that comes in that contemporary hue.

The rugged timepiece’s blue color is accentuated by the rose gold tone on the stainless steel case, luminous hands, baton-style indexes, and sub-dial and date window outlines.

The Michael Kors Dylan Ref. MK8831 ($275 USD) features gold and silver hues. Standing out with a gold tone are the watch’s branding, bezel, crown, pushers, index and hand outlines, and the central links of the bracelet. Equally beautiful with a silver tone are the timepiece’s face, sub-dials, case body, and the rest of the links of the bracelet.

The watch is designed to shine all over and look expensive for semi-formal and formal use. It can be made even more special with a buyer-specified back engraving.     For buyers who want a more premium-looking Michael Kors Dylan watch, the Pave Gold Tone Ref. MK8883 ($199 USD) is the best choice.

The timepiece looks golden from its thick stainless steel case to the bracelet. The face, sub-dials, indexes, and hands are also in gold. The dial is paved with diamonds for extra shine, making the style look more formal than any other Dylan watch.

If you want a Michael Kors Dylan watch that pairs with sporty and gentlemen’s outfits, the Dylan Gold Tone and Silicone Ref. MK8325 ($149 USD) is the version to purchase. The timepiece strikes a balance between casual and formal, having a thick gold-tone case, hands and indexes, and a black dial and silicone strap.

Michael Kors Dylan 2021: Limited Edition Pride Watch

In celebration of Pride Month in 2021, Michael Kors unveiled a limited-edition watch with a splash of color: the Michael Kors Dylan Gold Tone and Silicone Pride Watch Ref. MK8897 ($250 USD).

Big and bold like the classic Dylan watch, the new timepiece touts a 48mm-diameter case and enamel dial with a wavy detailing. The design also bears the same rainbow colors as the LGBT+ flag and is accentuated by the gold tone of the sleek case and the whiteness of the silicone strap.

This timepiece pairs well with Michael Kors’ Pride collection of rainbow-themed bags, shirts, hoodies, caps, and footwear.

History Behind the Michael Kors Dylan Watch

Michael Kors timepieces only came into the market in 2004. In turn, this makes the Dylan watches contemporary by default, making them highly compatible with present-day fashion accessory trends.

In fact, Dylan's design was adapted from a series of smartwatches by Michael Kors. These modern timepieces are none other than the Michael Kors Access Dylan that made waves in 2016. These black watches closely resemble the classic Dylan, especially when its dial is on analog display mode. Upon using it, one will find out that the watch adopts a touchscreen as its dial, and can work with Android and iOS devices. Due to the high-tech features, the timepiece costs more than the mechanical Dylan. Its price can go beyond $500 USD.

It was just in 2021 when the analog Dylan timepiece incorporated something unconventional to its usual style. The limited-edition Dylan Gold Tone and Silicone Pride Watch that is quite eccentric because of its rainbow dial is proof of that.

How to Identify a Fake Michael Kors Dylan Watch

Due to their low price and quartz movement, the Michael Kors Dylan watches are constantly plagued by counterfeits. To identify a fake Michael Kors Dylan watch from a genuine one, check the following five features:

1. Branding and Engraving

The brand is the identity of a watch and is also the first thing to check when verifying authenticity. You should keep an eye out for misspellings, font inconsistencies, and awkward spacing and alignment on the front stamped and back engraved branding.

 2. Sub-dial Markings

As Michael Kors Dylan watches double as chronographs, variations have three sub-dials on the face. Beyond the number of sub-dials, you should check that each disc has unique number series markings. If all discs display the same number combinations (Eg: 60-40-20), then the watch is fake.

3. Inverted M Shape on the Seconds Hand

The Michael Kors Dylan has three central hands apart from the sub-dial hands. Its seconds hand is distinct from the ones for the hour and minutes, having an inverted M shape on the shorter end closer to the middle of the dial.

4. Fine Print

Every original Michael Kors watch is accompanied by an official pamphlet that details everything about the timepiece, including the specifications and warranty terms and conditions. Any Dylan watch that doesn’t have this pamphlet or has one with inconsistencies is fake. 

5. Use Official Watch Photos for Comparison

There are more signs of a fake Michael Kors Dylan timepiece that are less significant than the ones mentioned. To make sure that you are not missing even the minor details, it is best to have official photos always ready for comparison.
