Stepping up in the same colour and case shape
The Glitter Dial collection is Olivia Burton's answer to a specific brief: a watch that reads as dressed rather than functional, built for daily wear rather than the occasional evening. The dial is the whole argument — silver glitter catch light in the way that a plain sunray finish will not, shifting between understated and noticeably bright depending on the angle. At 34mm and just 8.25mm deep, it sits close to the wrist and disappears under a cuff without bulk. The mesh bracelet adjusts by sliding the clasp along the band, no tools needed, which matters more than it sounds on a 12mm lug width where aftermarket options are thin.

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.
Will the glass scratch?
It can, over time. Mineral glass handles daily wear but will pick up fine scratches that sapphire would not.
Does it need a battery?
Yes. It is quartz, so expect a battery change every two to three years at a jeweller.
What 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.
Is it a men's or women's watch?
Listed as women's, though at 34mm it sits in the range that suits anyone.
