Stepping up in Vivienne Westwood's range
The Audley collection is where Vivienne Westwood makes the clearest argument that a watch is a piece of jewellery first. The oval, pebble-shaped case flows directly into a rigid bangle bracelet without interruption — there is no lug, no transition, just a continuous polished steel form that sits on the wrist the way a cuff does rather than the way a watch does. At 22mm the dial is small enough that the raised Orb at twelve reads more as a signature than a complication, and the crystal-set markers at three, six, and nine keep the face tonal and spare. The Swiss quartz movement inside is produced under Timex Group's arrangement with the Westwood label — quietly competent, with a Renata battery that typically runs one to two years between changes, and nothing to service.

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.
