Olivia Burton OB16DC02 Art Deco Bracelet Watch - W2888
Ref. OB16DC02
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 Art Deco collection at Olivia Burton takes the visual grammar of 1920s architecture — fan vaulting, geometric repetition, the hard symmetry of that era's buildings — and presses it into watch-sized form. The case profile here is the clearest expression of that, with its fan detailing lifted directly from the period rather than merely nodding at it. At 30mm the dial reads as jewellery-adjacent on the wrist, and the emerald green mother-of-pearl surface plays differently under different light — more muted in shade, considerably richer when it catches a direct source. The crystal markers alternate baguette and round cuts around the dial, which sustains the geometric theme without overcrowding it. The bracelet tapers from 16mm at the case to 12mm, so it sits and moves with the wrist rather than holding flat like a fixed-width band.

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.
