FAQs

What does 50 meters (5 ATM) water resistance mean?

50 meters of water resistance means the watch can withstand splashes, rain, and brief immersion in water, such as washing hands. It is NOT suitable for swimming, snorkeling, diving, or showering, as these activities can exceed the pressure rating or expose the watch to prolonged water contact.

How do I use the chronograph function?

Press the top pusher to start the chronograph and begin timing. Press the top pusher again to stop it. To reset the chronograph hands to zero, press the bottom pusher. The subdials will show elapsed seconds, minutes, and hours.

How often does the battery need to be replaced?

The battery life for a quartz movement typically ranges from 2 to 4 years, depending on usage. When the watch stops, it's a sign the battery needs replacement. Always have it done by a professional to maintain water resistance.

Is the sapphire crystal truly scratch-proof?

Sapphire crystal is highly scratch-resistant, much more so than mineral glass. While extremely durable, it is not entirely scratch-proof and can still be scratched or chipped under extreme impact or contact with materials harder than sapphire, such as diamonds.

Can I replace the rubber strap with a different material?

Yes, the watch has a 20 mm lug width, allowing you to replace the original navy check-embossed rubber strap with any compatible 20 mm strap of your choice, though this may alter the original aesthetic.

How do I clean my Burberry watch?

Wipe the case and crystal with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth. For the rubber strap, use a slightly damp cloth with mild soap, then rinse well and dry thoroughly. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents.

Where is the date display located?

The date display window is conveniently located at the 4 o'clock position on the watch dial, providing easy visibility.

Can I use the rotating bezel for anything else besides timing?

While often associated with diving, the uni-directional rotating bezel can be used for any short-duration timing task, like tracking how long ago you parked your car, reminding yourself when to switch tasks, or simply measuring elapsed minutes in any context.

Troubleshooting

Watch is not running or has stopped.

Check if the crown is pushed in fully. If it is, the battery may need replacement. Contact a qualified watch technician for battery replacement.

Date is not changing at midnight.

First, ensure the time is set correctly for AM/PM (the date changes around midnight, not noon). Avoid adjusting the date between 9 PM and 3 AM. If the issue persists, a service may be needed.

Chronograph hands are not resetting to zero.

Some quartz chronographs have a reset procedure. For most, pull the crown out to the second position (time setting), then repeatedly press the top pusher to advance the 12-hour subdial hand. Use the bottom pusher to adjust the minute subdial hand. Pressing both simultaneously or specific sequences can align the second hand. Consult a detailed manual or technician if unsure.

Fog or condensation appears under the sapphire crystal.

This indicates moisture ingress. Stop using the watch immediately to prevent damage to the movement. Take it to a watchmaker for inspection, drying, and resealing.

Rubber strap feels uncomfortable or causes irritation.

Ensure the strap is not too tight. Clean the strap regularly with mild soap and water to remove dirt or sweat that can cause irritation. If irritation persists, consider a different strap material if available.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Stylish and distinctive design with Burberry's signature check.
  • Reliable and accurate timekeeping provided by a quartz movement.
  • Durable sapphire crystal offers excellent scratch resistance.
  • Chronograph functions add practical utility for timing various activities.
  • Comfortable and unique navy check-embossed rubber strap.
  • Luminous hands ensure readability in low-light conditions.

Cons

  • 50-meter water resistance is not suitable for swimming or diving.
  • Rubber strap, while distinctive, may not appeal to all preferences compared to metal or leather.
  • Quartz movement might be less appealing to mechanical watch enthusiasts.
  • The specific aesthetic may not suit all personal styles.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setting Up Your Watch:

  1. Time Adjustment: Pull the crown out to the second position. Rotate the crown clockwise or counter-clockwise to set the desired time. Push the crown back in fully to start the watch.
  2. Date Adjustment: Pull the crown out to the first position. Rotate the crown to set the correct date. Avoid adjusting the date between 9 PM and 3 AM, as this can interfere with the date change mechanism. Push the crown back in fully.

Compatibility: This watch is a standalone accessory. Its 20 mm band width allows for potential strap changes with compatible 20mm straps, though the unique check-embossed rubber strap is a signature feature.

Care and Maintenance:

  • Cleaning: Wipe the case and sapphire crystal with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth. For the rubber strap, a slightly damp cloth with mild soap can be used, then rinse thoroughly and dry. Avoid harsh chemicals.
  • Water Exposure: While water-resistant to 50 meters, avoid wearing the watch during activities like swimming, diving, or showering, which can expose it to higher pressures or prolonged immersion than it's designed for. Always ensure the crown is pushed in completely after setting.
  • Storage: When not in use, store your watch in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and strong magnetic fields to prolong battery life and maintain accuracy.
  • Battery Replacement: The quartz movement requires a battery. When the watch stops, have the battery replaced by a qualified watch technician to ensure proper sealing and function.
