Stepping up in Vivienne Westwood's range
The Seymour is Vivienne Westwood's recurring study in how a brand's signature mark can anchor a clean dial without overworking it. Here that mark is the Saturn Orb, placed at twelve o'clock, and the rest of the dial — pink, brushed to a soft peach, with baton indices and plain arrow hands — is deliberately left to breathe around it. At 38mm across and 9.5mm thick the case sits level on the wrist rather than proud of it, and the jubilee bracelet with its butterfly clasp closes flush enough that the whole thing reads as a single band of silver-and-pink. The bracelet adjusts by link removal and tops out at 180mm, so wrist fit should be checked before ordering.

Learn more about Vivienne Westwood
Vivienne Westwood and Malcolm McLaren opened a shop at 430 King's Road in 1971, and over the next few years it became the outfitter of British punk. Westwood went on to become one of the most decorated designers Britain has produced, with the orb logo — a sovereign's orb with a Saturn ring — as the house signature from 1987.
The watches are licensed rather than made in-house, produced under agreement by a British accessories manufacturer and sold through department stores and jewellers.
They carry the house language directly: the orb on the crown or the dial, tartan and heritage-check straps, asymmetric cases, and a willingness to be decorative that most watch brands avoid. Quartz movements, fashion pricing.
Westwood died in 2022. The house continues, and the watch line with it.

Frequently asked questions, and things you should know about this watch
Can I swim with it?
Showering yes, swimming no. 50m covers splashes and brief immersion, but a swimming stroke generates well above the pressure that figure describes.
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, though at 38mm it sits in the range that suits anyone.
Cheapest place to buy
Goldsmiths is the only UK retailer we track stocking this reference, so there is nothing to compare it against today.
