Burberry’s Britain

The ever luxurious brand of Burberry, founded by Thomas Burberry, has recently expanded their product line to include some stunning watches. These timepieces are styled in typical Burberry fashion, exuding chic sophistication.

Taking inspiration from their famous trench coats, the brand recently released a line of watches called ‘The Britain’, which echo that classic style. Each watch is automatic, with a rounded octagonal form and stylized bolts referencing the trench’s smart design.

With a sparkling finish, these watches are quite eye-catching in their cases of brushed and polished steel. As for the dial, its crystal window is constructed of a shock and scratch resistant sapphire crystal, and is anti-reflective as well. Adding a unique touch, the back has a sapphire crystal dome as well, revealing the mechanical movement of the watch’s self winding Swiss made Soprod 940.

‘The Britain’ collection demonstrates Burberry’s effortless, classic style in its refined finishes, such as the alligator straps done in quintessential Burberry fashion. Additionally, Burberry has created a stainless steel bracelet option, in both a brushed and polished finish.

Each watch of the collection is Swiss made design and equipped with a Sapphire crystal face and matte black dial with four-hand movement. Other features include a 47 mm case, 40 hour power reserve and date functions, two-year international warranty, and a curved transparent case back in sapphire crystal. As for the style, watches include alligator straps in iconic trench color, an ardillon buckle, a rounded octagonal black and gunmetal-plated stainless steel case, and a custom-made rotor with Geneva stripes.
