Vivienne Westwood Armour 28mm Ladies Watch Gold
Ref. VV314GDGD
Sits in Vivienne Westwood’s upper tier here — more premium than three quarters of the Vivienne Westwood watches we list, which start at £125.
Price range £125 to £325 across 48 Vivienne Westwood watches in stock.The Armour takes its name seriously: the 28mm stainless steel case is finished in yellow gold PVD and shaped with angular, polished and brushed contours, sitting just under 9mm thick on the wrist. A hexagonal crown reinforces the geometric theme. The champagne dial carries a sunray brushed texture, baton hour indices, and the signature Westwood Orb motif at 12 o'clock, with a three-hand quartz movement behind it. The angular-link bracelet echoes the case geometry, sharing the same gold PVD coating and closing with a butterfly deployment clasp. A mineral crystal sits above the dial, and the watch is rated to 50 metres water resistance.

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?
11mm. 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.
