Burberry BU9234 Swiss Gold Tone Stainless Steel Women's Watch
Ref. P286-BU9234
The City is Burberry's cleanest distillation of the house into watch form: the check pattern that defines the brand's identity pressed directly into the bracelet links rather than printed on a strap, so the reference survives the transition to metal without looking like an afterthought. At 26mm it sits quietly on the wrist, the champagne dial warm enough against gold PVD to read in low light without demanding attention. The deployant clasp keeps the bracelet flat and the fit consistent day to day, which matters more on a dress watch worn often than on one kept for occasions.

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.
