Burberry Men’s 38mm Watch (BU9039)

The BU9039 is Burberry’s take on a mid-sized watch. \n Case and Wrist Presence 38 mm is the diameter here. 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 rose-gold plated, which gives it a warmer read than plain steel without the cost of solid gold. The rose-gold tone case warms up the whole watch and works equally well against a dark or a light strap colour. 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 rose_gold, 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 window sits to the side of the dial, cut into the face rather than printed on it. \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 rose-gold-tone steel bracelet, matching the case rather than left in natural steel colour. As with any metal bracelet, a jeweller can remove or add links to get an exact fit, and the rose-gold-tone plating is baked onto the steel rather than a separate coloured layer that can peel. \n Who This Watch Suits The all rose-gold finish suits someone who wants the warmest-toned bracelet option in the 38mm case size. \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. A metal bracelet can be cleaned with a soft brush and mild soapy water to clear out the grime that collects between links, then dried thoroughly before wear. \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 rose gold plated Case colour rose gold Dial colour rose_gold Strap/bracelet ss rose gold 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.
