Stepping up in Burberry's range
A 40mm yellow gold PVD-plated stainless steel case houses a champagne dial with stick indices, a small seconds subdial at six o'clock, and a date window at three. The case runs to a slim 8mm thickness, giving it a clean, unimposing profile on the wrist. A scratch-resistant mineral crystal sits above the dial, while below, a checkered fabric-coated leather strap with a yellow gold PVD pin buckle carries the house's signature pattern through to the fastening.

Learn more about Burberry
Thomas Burberry opened a draper's shop in Basingstoke in 1856 and invented gabardine in 1879 — a breathable weatherproof fabric that clothed Antarctic expeditions and British officers in the trenches. The trench coat is his.
The watches are produced under licence and carry the house check on dials and straps, with Swiss quartz and automatic movements in generally restrained cases.
Among licensed fashion watches these are on the quieter end, drawing on the brand's genuine British heritage rather than on ornament.

Frequently asked questions, and things you should know about this watch
Can I swim with it?
Showering yes, swimming no. 50m covers splashes and brief immersion, but a swimming stroke generates well above the pressure that figure describes.
Water resistance explainedWill the glass scratch?
Unlikely. Sapphire is second only to diamond in hardness and shrugs off everyday marking.
Sapphire, mineral and acrylic comparedDoes it need a battery?
Yes. It is quartz, so expect a battery change every two to three years at a jeweller.
Quartz, automatic and solar comparedIs it a men's or women's watch?
Listed as men's, though at 40mm it sits in the range that suits anyone.
