Stepping up in Olivia Burton's range
A 30mm gold PVD stainless steel case keeps the proportions neat on the wrist, sitting at 8mm thick for a slim, comfortable wear. The silver-white sunray dial carries gold-tone baton markers and a small metalwork bee motif at the centre — the signature detail of the collection. Mineral crystal sits over the dial, offering everyday scratch resistance. The gold ionic-plated mesh bracelet closes with a fold-over clasp and gives the watch a fluid, close-fitting feel. Water resistance is rated to 30 metres.

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.
Cheapest place to buy
Both Goldsmiths and F.Hinds list it at £139, so choose on delivery and warranty rather than price.
