Burberry Men’s Watch (BU9026)

Burberry put a mid-sized case on the BU9026. \n Case and Wrist Presence The case is gold plated over a base metal, which gives the warmth of gold without the cost or weight of a solid case. The gold-tone finish is the dressier option, built to read as jewellery as much as a timepiece. 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 Colour on the dial is champagne; the hour markers are 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 The strap is a woven fabric on a leather backing, stitched in the house check pattern rather than a plain colour. The colour is multicolour. The check pattern is woven into the strap rather than printed on, which is why it does not fade the way a printed strap would. \n Who This Watch Suits The gold-tone case dresses up the check strap more than the plain steel version of the same watch. \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. Keep a fabric strap away from prolonged damp, since the leather backing behind the weave can take longer to dry out than the fabric itself. \n About the Brand Burberry’s watches carry the same understated house codes as the rest of the label, with the signature check reserved here for the strap rather than the dial or case. 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 gold plated Case colour gold Dial colour champagne Strap/bracelet fabric 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. The gold-tone case picks up the warmer tones in the check pattern rather than reading as an unrelated colour.
