Overview

The Golden Yellow K-2023 is the newer, warmer-toned version of TAL’s entry Bassy chronograph. It keeps the same formula — a big 44mm three-dial face, an alloy-steel case, a 316L stainless-steel bracelet, mineral glass and 30-metre water resistance — but swaps the silver palette for gold-and-yellow accents that stand out more. It’s still a quartz chronograph with day/date, and still TAL’s most affordable entry point at under $135. Pick this over the silver K-2022 if you want the bolder, warmer look; the watch underneath is the same.

The good

  • TAL’s entry price, under $135

The trade-offs

  • 30m water resistance — not for swimming
  • Mineral (not sapphire) crystal
  • Bold colour won’t suit every outfit

FAQs

How is it different from the Silver K-2022?

Mainly the colour — the K-2023 has a warmer gold-and-yellow finish; the 44mm build, quartz chronograph and steel bracelet are the same.

Is it Swiss?

No — the Bassy line uses a non-Swiss quartz movement.

Can I swim with it?

No — it’s rated to 30 metres, which only covers splashes and rain.
