Stepping up in Burberry's range
A circular 34mm stainless steel case finished in rose gold keeps this piece from The City Collection neat on the wrist. The dial carries Burberry's signature engraved check pattern in matching rose gold, with stick hour markers and luminous hands. A date window sits at three o'clock. The sapphire crystal resists scratching, and the Swiss quartz movement runs beneath it. An 18mm-tapering-to-16mm rose gold bracelet fastens with a push-button butterfly clasp. Water resistance is rated 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 comparedWhat size strap does it take?
16mm. 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.
