Stepping up in the same colour and case shape
The dial is the reason to look twice. Beneath the mineral crystal, a seigaiha-mon pattern — the traditional Japanese overlapping wave motif — is pressed into a black sunray base, a detail more usually found on dress watches than on a sports bracelet piece at this size. For Lorus, a marque that sits within the Seiko group, it is an unusual move: a piece of Japanese decorative heritage on a 42mm steel case rated to 100 metres. At 10.2mm thick, it wears closer to the wrist than the rating might suggest, and 100 grams keeps it from feeling slab-like through a long day. The PC33 is a Seiko-sourced quartz calibre — accurate, low-maintenance, and backed by the same engineering infrastructure as movements that cost considerably more to replace. Sizing the bracelet is straightforward: standard split-pin links and a push-button folding clasp, no tools beyond a pin punch.

Frequently asked questions, and things you should know about this watch
Can I swim with it?
Yes. At 100m it is rated for swimming and snorkelling, though not for diving.
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.
