Vivienne Westwood Armour VV314GDGD Gold Dial Stainless Steel Women's Watch

The Vivienne Westwood Armour VV314GDGD at a Glance

This Armour women's watch places the house's emblematic orb at the centre of the dial in a radiant gold version. It fully embraces its jewellery dimension, sitting at the intersection of watchmaking and fine jewellery. Here's what you need to know before choosing it.

• 28 mm gold stainless steel case: an ultra-compact jewellery format for delicate wrists.
• Gold dial with relief orb: the signature orb at the centre, clean two-hand display.
• Matching gold stainless steel bracelet: warm, monochrome and refined finish.
• Water resistance 50 M (5 ATM): comfortable in rain and hand washing.
• Mineral crystal: protects the dial and orb from everyday scratches.

The Emblematic Orb at the Heart of the Dial

The Armour collection places the house's signature orb in relief at the centre of the dial, a detail that transforms the watch into a truly recognisable identity jewel at first glance. In this gold version, the orb catches the light and becomes the focal point of the wrist, playing with reflections as you move. The clean two-hand display leaves all the space for this motif, with no date or counter to distract the eye. This approach makes the Armour a statement watch, designed for those who embrace a distinctive accessory and an affirmed house signature. It appeals to a clientele seeking less a functional watch than a horological jewel with meaning, capable of completing an outfit as a bracelet or ring would. It is this symbolic dimension that sets the Armour apart from purely utilitarian watches.

A 28 mm Format for Delicate Wrists

At 28 mm, the Armour is one of the most compact formats in the range, ideal for delicate wrists under 15 cm where it acts as a delicate jewel. The warm gold flatters the complexion and pairs naturally with jewellery in the same tone for a cohesive and luminous ensemble. Worn alone, it is enough to structure a formal look and give it a precious touch. On a sober outfit, the gold orb brings the identity touch that makes all the difference, never appearing garish or excessive in everyday wear. On fair or darker skin, the gold creates a luminous effect that enhances the wrist. It is a piece worn as much for its aesthetic as for what it evokes, and lends itself particularly well to special occasions and everyday outfits alike.

This model also makes a beautiful symbolic gift: the orb, a motif charged with meaning and immediately recognisable, gives the watch an emotional dimension that an anonymous dial does not have. Offered to mark an occasion, it takes on sentimental value beyond its function. Worn daily, it discreetly recalls the house's creative universe without ever tipping into ostentation, thanks to its contained format. The gold, warm and luminous, makes it a sunny piece that pairs particularly well with festive outfits and special moments, whilst remaining understated enough for everyday use.

Care of the Gold Finish and Relief Orb

The gold finish and relief orb require careful attention: wipe the watch with a soft, dry cloth after each wear to remove sweat and cream, which tarnish the plating over time. Gently insist around the orb, where residue accumulates more easily because of the relief. Apply perfume and cosmetics before putting on the watch rather than after, and avoid any abrasive cloth that would scratch the gold plating. Store the watch away from moisture, in a case or soft pouch, to preserve the shine of the plating and the sharpness of the central motif between wears. Have the water resistance seal checked each time the battery is changed by a watchmaker to ensure the movement is protected over time.
