Stepping up in Olivia Burton's range
The bee has been a recurring motif throughout Olivia Burton's collections — a deliberate signature rather than a seasonal flourish — and this set presents it at its most considered. The dial bee is rendered with enough detail to reward a close look, set against a blush pink ground with crystal indices that catch light at close range. The matching open-ended bangle is sized to sit alongside the watch without competing with it, and the two read as a coordinated set rather than an afterthought pairing. At 30mm on a soft grey leather strap, this sits neatly on a slender wrist and wears closer to jewellery than to a sports or dress watch in the conventional sense. The rose gold PVD case and buckle carry the warm tone across both pieces, tying the set together.

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.
