Burberry The Britain Icon Check Titanium Watch with Skeleton Dial

The Burberry The Britain Icon Check watch was unveiled at Baselworld 2015, paying homage to the brand’s iconic check motif. Combining fashion-inspired design with horological sophistication, this timepiece features a 45 mm cushion-shaped titanium case with brushed and polished surfaces, coated in a bronze-toned DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon) layer, lending it a refined vintage aesthetic.

Design & Dial of Burberry The Britain Icon Check

The skeletonized check-pattern dial is a central feature of the Burberry The Britain Icon Check. Inspired by the lining of Burberry’s iconic trench coats from 1920, the openworked dial harmoniously integrates modern watchmaking with timeless fashion elements. The date window at 5 o’clock aligns with the angle of the check pattern, creating a visually cohesive display as if illuminated by diagonal light.

Case & Material Features

The 44.8 × 49.7 mm titanium case offers durability while remaining lightweight on the wrist. Its bronze-toned DLC coating ensures enhanced scratch resistance and a distinctive vintage look. With a thickness of 10 mm, the watch maintains a balanced presence, suitable for both casual and formal wear.

Movement – ETA 2824-2 Automatic

The watch houses the reliable ETA 2824-2 automatic movement, visible through the open dial. The movement features a 42-hour power reserve and 17 jewels, ensuring precise and consistent performance. The exposed date disc enhances the mechanical character of the design, appealing to enthusiasts who appreciate intricate watchmaking.

Limited Edition & Collectibility

The Burberry The Britain Icon Check is limited to just 20 pieces worldwide, enhancing its exclusivity and appeal to collectors. Its combination of distinctive design, heritage-inspired aesthetics, and high-quality titanium construction makes it a must-have for those seeking a unique luxury timepiece.
