Burberry Women’s Watch (BU10114)

The Burberry BU10114 is a mid-sized watch. \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 a mix of an applied Arabic numeral and baton markers. It is a fairly common layout for a dress watch – one or two numerals for orientation, batons for the rest. \n Functions There is a small date aperture set into the dial. \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 and tan check strap read warmer than the steel-cased, black and white check version of the same watch. \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. 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 Women’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.

The strap narrows to 14mm at the buckle, keeping it in proportion with a smaller case.
