Founded in 1856 by Thomas Burberry, Burberry is a British luxury fashion brand known for its trench coats, distinctive check pattern, and high-quality products. The brand has a rich history that reflects its evolution from a practical outerwear manufacturer to a global fashion icon.

Following World War II, Burberry expanded its product range to include accessories, fragrances, and other luxury goods.

In the late 1990s and early 2000s, Burberry underwent a significant transformation under the leadership of new CEO Rose Marie Bravo and creative director Christopher Bailey. They repositioned Burberry as a high-end luxury brand, focusing on its heritage while modernizing its product offerings which included high quality watches.

Here we have an all-time favorite amongst watch enthusiasts - the sporty yet elegant Burberry Curved Tank, Model 308.902.

Its curved silver shaped case, dial, Roman Numeral indices, and hands are in excellent condition after a good deep clean-up.

The ETA 901.001 Swiss movement was completely replaced and calibrated on 6 August 2024 that included a new battery, and should be able to operate unhindered until the next servicing thereby providing the owner peace of mind.

The crown is original and is located at the 3H position and is neatly tucked away to prevent damage and snags; yet, easily accessible. The hands quickset operate in the traditional manner by pulling out and rotating the crown accordingly.

The case width and height are approximately 18mm (w/o crown) and 39.5mm respectively. The lug width is 13mm and the strap can accommodate wrists up to 18cm; hence, this watch is suitable for men and the modern women.

The watch also comes with a brand new Hi-Quality Italian Genuine Leather Strap with Silver Buckle.

To the best of our knowledge while servicing this timepiece, no parts were replaced with aftermarket or modified parts.

Even though all seals and gaskets are in place, this timepiece has not been water-resistant tested due to its age.

The pictures provided shows the watch in excellent condition, and the movement within is brand new and squeaky clean. It has also been demagnetised to improve parts reliability, minimise wear & tear, and improve accuracy. The only drawback is the lack of documentation and original box. A nice purposeful carrying case or box will be provided instead.

Bear in mind that this watch has seen many of the previous owners’ ups and downs in life, and should be cherished and well taken care of for the next generation to savour such engineering beauty.

This very rare Burberry Curved Tank will make a beautiful birthday present for that special someone.

This particular highly sort-after Burberry Curved Tank ETA 901.001 is extremely rare and is not found on any online sites; so, be unique and wear a watch that is almost impossible to source in such fine condition.
