Stepping up in Lorus's range
A clean, no-ceremony dress watch from Lorus's Classic line, built around the idea that putting a watch on should take no thought at all. The stretch-link bracelet slides over the hand without a clasp to fumble, which sounds like a small thing until you are doing it one-handed every morning. At 37.5mm and 9mm thick it sits unobtrusively under a cuff, and the all-silver dial — baton indices, date at three — reads immediately in any light. The VJ32 inside is an SII calibre, made within the Seiko group, which means the timekeeping will be accurate and the battery will last rather than surprise you.

Frequently asked questions, and things you should know about this watch
Can I swim with it?
No. At 30m it will survive rain and handwashing, but not submersion of any kind.
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?
20mm. 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 men's, though at 37.5mm it sits in the range that suits anyone.
