To complete THE BRITAIN collection, Burberry launches two new automatic watches. A 38 mm case version of the men’s automatic model worn by Gabriella Wilde for THE BRITAIN campaign, these models remain true to the brand’s savoir-faire and reflect the spirit of the collection. Both models will be available on Burberry.com, as well as in selected Burberry boutiques and authorized retailers internationally from April 2013.
