Stepping up in Vivienne Westwood's range
The Audley sits at the jewellery end of what a watch can be. The oval case — described in the studio's own language as pebble-shaped — flows without interruption into the rigid bangle bracelet, so the whole piece reads as a single sculptural object rather than a watch on a strap. At 22mm it makes no claim to be anything other than a dressed wrist piece, and the champagne sunray dial with its raised Orb motif at twelve and crystal markers at three, six and nine reinforces that priority. Sizing is handled by removing the end clasp sections rather than individual links, so it is worth confirming the fit before purchase — the adjustment range is narrower than a conventional bracelet.

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.
Cheapest place to buy
Goldsmiths is the only UK retailer we track stocking this reference, so there is nothing to compare it against today.
