Burberry Women’s 26mm Watch (BU9219)

A 26mm gold case carries a champagne dial on a beige 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. This is a gold plated case, brushed — the colour and shine sit in the plating layer, not a solid-metal case. \n Dial and Legibility \n The dial is champagne with diamond-set stick markers. The hour markers are set with stones rather than printed on, which catches light differently depending on the angle you look at it from. \n Movement and Functions \n Quartz drives the watch, which means the only maintenance schedule to remember is an occasional battery replacement. There is no date window or other complication on the dial — just hours, minutes and seconds. \n Strap and Fit \n It comes on a beige 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 a gold case and set-stone markers on a small, dressy case, with the house check running along the strap. \n It is rated 5 ATM (50m), enough to shrug off rain, hand-washing and a splash at the basin, but it is not built for swimming or diving — the crown should not be worked underwater. \n Care and Maintenance \n Treat it the way you would any watch you want to keep: out of direct sun for long periods, away from solvents and perfume, and dried off if it gets wet. A battery replacement is cheap insurance against a leaking cell, and a watchmaker doing the job can check the gaskets at the same 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 26 mm Case Material Gold Plated Case Colour Gold Movement Quartz Dial Colour Champagne Water Resistance 5 ATM (50m) 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.
