Stepping up in Burberry's range
The City collection is Burberry's attempt to carry the house's textile identity into metal — the dial's geometric texture is a direct translation of the trademark check into a surface that reads as a pattern in raking light and as a clean monochrome face straight on. At 26mm it sits neatly on a fine wrist without any pretension to sportiness, and the all-gold construction, dial to bracelet, holds together as a single considered object rather than a watch with a strap attached. The butterfly clasp operates with a push-button release that keeps the underside uninterrupted and makes the bracelet easier to get on and off than a conventional fold-over would.

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?
It can, over time. Mineral glass handles daily wear but will pick up fine scratches that sapphire would not.
Sapphire, mineral and acrylic comparedDoes it need a battery?
No. It is hand-wound, so it needs winding every day or two but never a battery.
Quartz, automatic and solar comparedWhat size strap does it take?
14mm. 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 women's.
