Stepping up in Burberry's range
A 38mm stainless steel case, 8mm thick, keeps proportions neat and genuinely unisex. The black dial carries Burberry's signature check pattern pressed into the surface, with silver-tone baton indexes and luminous hands arranged on a three-hand layout. The date sits at three o'clock. A sapphire crystal protects the dial, while a solid case back encloses the Swiss quartz movement. The stainless steel bracelet fastens with a push-button butterfly deployant clasp, and the watch carries a 50-metre water resistance rating.

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 comparedWhat size strap does it take?
20mm. Any strap of that width will fit, and on most modern watches quick-release bars make the swap a two-minute job with no tools.
Is it a men's or women's watch?
Listed as unisex, and at this size it suits any wrist that takes the dimensions.
