Burberry Men’s Watch (BU10012)

The BU10012 is Burberry’s take on a mid-sized watch. \n Case and Wrist Presence 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 On the brown dial, a mix of an applied Arabic numeral and baton markers do the work of marking the hours. It is a fairly common layout for a dress watch – one or two numerals for orientation, batons for the rest. \n Functions There is a small date aperture set into 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 The strap is leather, stitched along the edge, and will darken and soften with wear the way leather does. The colour is brown. A leather strap that does not fit straight out of the box can usually be resized in minutes by a jeweller or cobbler. \n Who This Watch Suits The rose-gold case and matching brown strap and dial make this the warmest-toned option in the range. \n Care and Maintenance Keep it out of direct sun when you take it off, away from magnets, and have the battery replaced by a watchmaker rather than a kiosk so the case seal gets checked at the same time. Leather ages with wear, so expect it to darken and soften over the first few months; keep it away from direct water and it will hold up for years. \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 material rose gold plated Case colour rose gold Dial colour brown Strap/bracelet leather 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. It ships new and unworn in its original box with the manufacturer’s paperwork, with nationwide delivery and tracking. As with any unworn watch in its original packaging, it is covered by your rights under the Consumer Protection Act. Case, strap and dial all sit in the same warm brown-to-rose-gold range, rather than contrasting with each other.
