Burberry Women’s 26mm Watch (BU9212)

A 26mm silver case carries a white dial on a house-check 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 26mm this sits on the smaller side of the size range, wearing close to the wrist rather than sitting proud of it. The case is stainless steel with a polished finish, which is what gives it the weight and cool touch of a proper metal case rather than a coated alternative. \n Dial and Legibility \n The dial is white with stick markers. There is a date window at three o’clock, which is the one complication most people actually use day to day. \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 house-check 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 the Burberry check carried onto the strap itself, in fabric rather than leather. \n Water resistance is rated 5 ATM (50m), which covers everyday wet-hands situations but stops short of swimming. \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 is a British house better known for its trench coats and check pattern than for horology, and that shows in how the watches are designed: understated cases, a house check worked subtly into the dial rather than shouted from it, and construction handled by a proper Swiss watchmaking partner. The result is a watch that reads as fashion-house jewellery first and a timepiece second, without cutting corners on the build. \n Technical Specifications \n Brand Burberry Case Diameter 26 mm Case Material Stainless Steel Case Colour Silver Movement Quartz Dial Colour White Water Resistance 5 ATM (50m) Strap/Bracelet Fabric Warranty 24-month international manufacturer warranty \n Buying With Confidence \n You get a new, unworn watch in its original box with the manufacturer’s documentation, a 24-month international movement warranty that excludes the battery and normal wear, and nationwide tracked delivery.
