Stepping up in Olivia Burton's range
The Starlight collection draws its name and mood from celestial imagery, but the dial reads more like a square of clear ocean than anything overhead — a glossy lacquered blue that shifts between turquoise and aquamarine depending on the light hitting it. Minimal markers and Arabic indices keep the face clean rather than decorative. At 36mm on a five-link polished bracelet, the whole watch presents as a single continuous piece of silver and blue, the case and strap reading as one rather than as components assembled together. The crown carries an engraved Tudor rose, a small signature that Olivia Burton places across its range and which rewards a closer look after the fact.

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.
Will the glass scratch?
It can, over time. Mineral glass handles daily wear but will pick up fine scratches that sapphire would not.
Does it need a battery?
No. It is hand-wound, so it needs winding every day or two but never a battery.
Is it a men's or women's watch?
Listed as women's, though at 36mm it sits in the range that suits anyone.
