Stepping up in the same colour and case shape
The Classic collection from Olivia Burton has long favoured delicacy — fine mesh straps, slender cases — but this version takes the same mother-of-pearl dial and sets it on a three-link steel bracelet with noticeably more mass to it. The result reads differently on the wrist: the iridescent dial, framed in silver and marked with Roman numerals and baton indices, sits against something that holds its own rather than receding. At 30mm the case is modest, but the bracelet carries enough presence to balance it, and the deployant clasp keeps the underside clean against the wrist. The push-button release is more secure than a standard fold-over, which matters on a bracelet this fluid. Resizing requires removing links manually, so worth having done properly before wearing.

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 comparedWhat size strap does it take?
12mm. Any strap of that width will fit, and on most modern watches quick-release bars make the swap a two-minute job with no tools.
Is it a men's or women's watch?
Listed as women's.
