Reaching beyond clothing, shoes and bags, Burberry offers beautiful aptly-priced luxury watches made with gold, calf leather and other awesome materials and the infallible Burberry design etched into dials and bracelets.
Besides the quality, the price and the long-standing name, Burberry separates itself from a lot of competition by offering gold and rose-gold ion-plated styles. Paired with supple leather bands and stainless steel ion-plated bracelets that are often linked or etched with the brand’s instantly noticeable check design, Burberry situates itself just within the grasp of the upper-middle class and gives them something worth the money that the watches demand: real gold plating.
For $ 395, you had better get some real gold in there.
Compared to the buzzing Michael Kors, Burberry’s timepiece selections suggest a higher value and better quality. Furthermore, Burberry watches generally cost about as much as more expensive Michael Kors selections, with a few styles’ price points topping off at $ 675.
Performance watches by Burberry hold up to both design and necessity. Many styles sport useful stronger-than-silicone rubber straps and crystals secured by screwed-in machinated top rings. These water-resistant watches can perform in water as deep as 200 meters and range in price, from a modest $ 395 to $ 475. Chronographs add a bit more to the price and utility of Burberry timepieces, with many styles starting at $ 495.
Indeed, it is Burberry’s innate wearability that allows the brand to stay current in today’s trends, even among the younger Generation Y. The two selections below represents Burberry’s own guns and roses. The left selection features a 40 mm classic unisex rose gold-plated stainless steel piece fitted with a supple calf leather band and the checker-etched dial, complete with date and chronograph. The more rugged right style features an extra-large, 44mm gunmetal case with a diver’s crystal screwed down and held into place by a machinated top piece that can take anything. With oversized date and chronograph dials, ion-plated gunmetal stainless steel and Ronda Swiss Made movement, this striking Burberry piece is water-resistant up to 10 ATM and is keeping within current trends.

A more classic selection than most, Burberry offers timeless design and dressier styles for more discriminating tastes. And rather than just look the part and require consumers to pay an arm and leg for a watch that will ultimately fail them, Burberry does what any well-respected brand would do: continue to produce luxurious items that people don’t mind purchasing because they know the product is backed by reputation, customer care and a design that never goes out of style.
