Olivia Burton 24000386 Highbury Bracelet Watch - W28217
Ref. 24000386
Sits in Olivia Burton’s upper tier here — more premium than three quarters of the Olivia Burton watches we list, which start at £55.
Price range £55 to £199 across 86 Olivia Burton watches in stock.At 6.3mm thick, this sits among the slimmest bracelet watches available at this scale — the case barely registers under a sleeve, and the three-link bracelet lies flat enough that the whole thing reads more as a bangle than a watch at a casual glance. The Highbury collection is built around a particular silhouette: compact, fully gold-toned, with a fluted bezel and Roman numerals at the quarters against a sunray dial. The deployant clasp keeps that unbroken metallic line across the wrist, and the PVD treatment on the bracelet means the gold stays consistent rather than wearing through at the edges.

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.
