Vivienne Westwood Seymour 38mm Ladies Watches Champagne
Ref. VV240PKGD
Sits in Vivienne Westwood’s upper tier here — more premium than three quarters of the Vivienne Westwood watches we list, which start at £130.
Price range £130 to £325 across 46 Vivienne Westwood watches in stock.Named after the Seymour family townhouse that now holds the Wallace Collection in Marylebone, this watch draws on that address's mix of decorative grandeur and quiet respectability. The coin-edged bezel and Jubilee-style link bracelet carry that reference through into the details, while the Orb logo centred on the blush-pink dial does what Vivienne Westwood has always done — introduces a deliberate irreverence into something otherwise composed. At 38mm across and only 9.4mm deep, it sits flat and close to the wrist without the bulk that gold-tone cases often carry. The pink dial reads warm against the gold PVD, softening what could have been a harder combination. The butterfly clasp folds flush and out of sight, and the bracelet adjusts by link removal to a maximum circumference of 180mm, so it fits a range of wrists without the clasp interrupting the line.

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 comparedWhat size strap does it take?
18mm. 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 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.
