Burberry Men’s Watch (BU9005)

The Burberry BU9005 is 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, applied baton markers do the work of marking the hours. 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 rose-gold finish and warm brown dial suit someone who wants a dressier alternative to the plain steel version of this case. \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. 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 material rose gold plated Case colour rose gold Dial colour brown 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.

Case, bracelet and dial all sit in the same warm brown-to-rose-gold range rather than contrasting with each other.
