Burberry Men’s 38mm Watch (BU9037)

Burberry put a mid-sized case on the BU9037. \n Case and Wrist Presence At 38 mm, the case sits in a size most wrists can carry without feeling like a tool watch. That puts it in the middle ground: substantial enough to read at a glance, small enough to sit under most shirt cuffs. It is a size that works equally well with a shirt cuff or a t-shirt sleeve, which is most of what a watch actually needs to do. The case is stainless steel, polished, which resists the dings and scratches of daily wear better than a plated finish. Left in its natural steel colour, it pairs with either a silver or two-tone strap without clashing. A mineral crystal covers the dial – harder than acrylic and less prone to shattering than sapphire, a sensible trade-off for daily wear. \n Dial and Legibility The dial is white, laid out with applied baton markers. They catch the light at an angle and stay easy to read without a lot of contrast against the dial. \n Functions A date function is included, shown through a small cut-out on the dial. \n Water Resistance The 5 ATM rating covers rain, hand-washing and incidental splashes; it is not rated for swimming or diving. \n Strap, Clasp and Fit It is fitted with a stainless steel bracelet, which spreads the watch’s weight evenly across the wrist. A metal bracelet can usually have links removed or added at a jeweller to get an exact fit, and it will not need replacing the way a strap eventually does. \n Who This Watch Suits The bracelet suits someone who wants the plain white dial without a leather or fabric strap to replace down the line. \n Care and Maintenance Wipe the case down after a sweaty day and keep it off the nightstand speaker or any other source of a stray magnet; a battery service done by a watchmaker also renews the case seal, not just the cell. Have the bracelet’s links checked periodically for wear at the pins, and keep it away from sharp knocks that can mark the polished surfaces. \n About the Brand Burberry’s watches carry the same understated house codes as the rest of the label – plain dials and cases, with no unnecessary detail. The house is better known for outerwear than watches, and the timepieces are built to the same conservative brief – correct rather than showy. \n Technical Specifications Case diameter 38 mm Case material stainless steel Case colour silver Dial colour white Strap/bracelet stainless steel bracelet Water resistance 5 ATM Gender Men’s Warranty 24-month international manufacturer warranty \n Buying With Confidence This watch carries a 24-month international manufacturer’s warranty covering the movement, excluding the battery and normal wear.
