Burberry Unisex 42mm Watch (BU9906)

A 42mm black case carries a black dial on a black leather band that will darken and soften slightly with wear, the way any leather strap does, from Burberry. \n Case and Wrist Presence \n At 42mm this reads as a full-size case that holds its own on the wrist without being oversized. It is built in solid black pvd, finished polished, so the shine and the weight on the wrist are both coming from the metal itself. \n A small seconds sub-dial sits low on the dial alongside the date window — a simpler layout than the three-register chronograph elsewhere in the range. \n Dial and Legibility \n The dial is black with stick markers. A date window sits at three o’clock, small enough not to unbalance the dial layout. The crystal is sapphire, which is scratch-resistant enough that the dial should still look new well after the case has picked up its first marks. \n Movement and Functions \n The movement is quartz, so timekeeping accuracy is not something to think about — you set the date after a battery change and otherwise leave it alone. \n Strap and Fit \n It comes on a black leather band that will darken and soften slightly with wear, the way any leather strap does. Expect the leather to soften and pick up a little colour with wear, which is normal and not a defect. \n Who This Watch Suits \n This suits someone who wants an all-black case and strap with the small-seconds layout, rather than a steel case. \n Care and Maintenance \n None of the care below is demanding, but it is what separates a watch that still looks right in ten years from one that just gets old. Keep it away from perfume and solvents, off the speaker on your desk, and out of direct sun when it is not on your wrist. If it ever needs a battery, have a watchmaker do it rather than a kiosk — the same visit lets them check the case seals, which is what actually protects any stated water resistance over time. \n About the Brand \n Burberry’s watches are made under a Swiss watchmaking licence, which is why the dial carries a small ‘Swiss Made’ line despite the London-founded brand above it. The design language borrows from the house’s ready-to-wear: restrained cases, a tone-on-tone check pressed into the dial, and finishing aimed at daily wear rather than display-case collecting. \n Technical Specifications \n Brand Burberry Case Diameter 42 mm Case Material Black Pvd Case Colour Black Movement Quartz Dial Colour Black Crystal Sapphire Strap/Bracelet Leather Warranty 24-month international manufacturer warranty \n Buying With Confidence \n The watch arrives new and unworn, boxed with its manufacturer’s paperwork, backed by a 24-month international warranty on the movement that excludes the battery and normal wear items.
