Stepping up in Vivienne Westwood's range
The Hoxton sits within a collection shaped by Westwood's long-standing habit of grafting fine detail onto deliberately understated forms. At 28mm across and 8mm deep, it is built to read as an accessory first and a timekeeping instrument second — close to the wrist, unobtrusive beneath a cuff, and proportioned for smaller wrists without feeling slight. The black dial is the point of interest. Westwood's interlocking orb motif is pressed across its entire surface, giving it a texture that shifts under different light while the clean baton indices keep the face legible. The champagne-gold PVD on both the case and the H-link bracelet is consistent throughout, and the push-button butterfly clasp sits flush enough that the bracelet reads as a single unbroken piece on the wrist. Links are removable by standard split-pin, so sizing it down requires no special tools.

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?
14mm. 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 unisex, and at this size it suits any wrist that takes the dimensions.
Has the price changed recently?
It's currently at its lowest recorded price since we began tracking it. It's ranged between £150 and £315, today it's £150.
