Olivia Burton 24000190 City Classic Rose Tone Bracelet Watch - W28138
Ref. 24000190
Sits in Olivia Burton’s upper tier here — more premium than three quarters of the Olivia Burton watches we list, which start at £60.
Price range £60 to £199 across 59 Olivia Burton watches in stock.The City Classic sits at the crossroads of Olivia Burton's two instincts — the clean, jewellery-inflected dial work the brand is known for, and the kind of multi-register face borrowed from sportier references. Three sub-dials tracking day, date and a 24-hour display give it genuine function; crystal baguette indices and a carnation gold sunray dial give it somewhere to go in the evening. At 38mm with a slim 9.55mm profile, it wears broadly without bulk, and the three-link rose gold bracelet keeps the weight and proportion in balance. The folding clasp operates on a double push-button — small detail, but it makes daily removal considerably less fussy than a standard fold-over.

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?
20mm. 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.
