Stepping up in the same colour and case shape
The Sports Luxe Lustre sits at the point where Olivia Burton's affinity for natural pattern-making meets something closer to a conventional dress watch. The hexagonal links are the tell: the bracelet is built around the honeycomb geometry the brand returns to repeatedly, which gives it a structure quite different from the flat three-link construction that dominates at this size and price point. The result reads as designed rather than assembled. The mother-of-pearl dial is the iridescent, light-shifting kind — it will look different at noon than it does indoors, and different again under artificial light. Roman numerals and crystal indicators sit against that surface without crowding it, and the day-date sub-dials add utility without disturbing the calm of the layout. At 9.1mm the case sits close to the wrist for a watch carrying a calendar complication, and 36mm keeps it proportionate on smaller wrists without disappearing on larger ones.

Learn more about Olivia Burton
Lesa Bennett and Jemma Fennings started Olivia Burton in London in 2012, coming from fashion rather than watchmaking and treating the watch as an accessory to be designed rather than a instrument to be engineered.
That showed in the product: illustrated dials, floral and bee motifs, applied three-dimensional details, mesh and leather straps in soft colours. The bee became the signature, and the brand found a large audience among buyers who wanted something with a point of view at under £200.
Movado Group acquired the company in 2017, placing it alongside Movado, Ebel, Concord and MVMT. Production and distribution run through Movado; the design identity has stayed recognisably its own.
The watches are quartz and the appeal is the artwork, not the movement — which is a fair description of what the brand set out to do in the first place.

Frequently asked questions, and things you should know about this watch
Can I swim with it?
No. At 30m it will survive rain and handwashing, but not submersion of any kind.
Water resistance explainedWill the glass scratch?
It can, over time. Mineral glass handles daily wear but will pick up fine scratches that sapphire would not.
Sapphire, mineral and acrylic comparedDoes it need a battery?
Yes. It is quartz, so expect a battery change every two to three years at a jeweller.
Quartz, automatic and solar comparedIs it a men's or women's watch?
Listed as women's, though at 36mm it sits in the range that suits anyone.
