Stepping up in Burberry's range
A round 38mm case in yellow gold PVD-plated stainless steel keeps proportions neat on the wrist, measuring just 8mm through the case. The champagne dial carries gold-toned baton indices and matching PVD-plated hands with luminous treatment, alongside a date window at three o'clock. The crystal is sapphire. The strap is a beige fabric base with Burberry's check pattern and a leather overlay, closing with a yellow gold PVD pin buckle at 20mm width. Swiss quartz movement. Water resistant to 50 metres.

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 women's, though at 38mm it sits in the range that suits anyone.
