Stepping up in Burberry's range
A round 42mm case in black ion-plated stainless steel sits at a trim 9–10mm thick, giving the watch a relatively lean profile on the wrist. The sapphire crystal sits over a black dial carrying an embossed check pattern — a quiet but recognisable detail — alongside silver-toned hands, index hour markers, and a date window. A genuine black leather strap with a pin buckle completes the look. The Swiss quartz movement is 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 men's.
