A very impressive watch from high end clothing line, Burberrys, with great features.  Model reference 491551.

HOW DO WE DATE THIS WATCH?

Burberrys have a history dating back to 1856, but only made their first watch in 1987.  They were praised by International Wristwatch Magazine for designing their own cases, using ETA movements and having the watches made in Switzerland (although they don’t mention by whom).  Tissot started using this particular movement in 1988, and the design is very mid eighties, so we are comfortable with this watch being made circa 1988.  Burberrys became Burberry in 1999.

CONDITION

This really is an impressively put together watch, more reminiscent of brands like Concord and Dunhill than you might expect.  The case is all stainless steel, as is the long original bracelet, and the bracelet has a great clasp that reveals the logo – we have never seen that design before.  The bezel we presume is gold plated, but like the rest of the watch it doesn’t show much wear and tear.  The movement is an ETA quartz, so the same that was fitted to Zenith, TAG Heuer, Gucci, Tissot etc of the same time.  We will install a brand new battery before sending the watch out to the new owner.  The dial has a raised pattern in the Petite Tapisserie style.  The bracelet has been cleaned in our ultrasonic bath.

This watch will be supplied with our branded presentation box and our Certificate of Authenticity.
