Stepping up in Olivia Burton's range
Part of Olivia Burton's Celestial Collection, this watch takes its cues from the night sky — the soft pink dial carries a North Star marker and crystal star detailing, and a sub-dial at six o'clock shifts gradually from light to dark as the hours pass, standing in for a conventional moonphase indicator. At 34mm it sits neatly on the wrist without overpowering it, and the silver multi-link bracelet has the kind of weight that reads as jewellery as much as watchstrap. The folding clasp opens on push buttons rather than a pinch, which makes daily removal considerably less fiddly than it might otherwise be.

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 34mm it sits in the range that suits anyone.
