Stepping up in the same dial colour
The Rainbow collection is Olivia Burton's answer to the all-rose-gold dress watch — same slim silhouette, same mesh bracelet, but with matte Swarovski crystals set around the dial in a sequence of distinct colours rather than a single uniform finish. It is a small but deliberate distinction that keeps the watch from reading as purely monochrome. At 34mm and 8.1mm thick, it sits flat and unobtrusive on a smaller wrist, and the sliding buckle on the mesh bracelet means fit can be adjusted in seconds without tools — useful for a watch worn daily, when the wrist changes slightly through the day.

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 10m 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.
