Stepping up in Lorus's range
Lorus sits within the Seiko Watch Corporation, and the PC32 movement here is a direct expression of that — a Seiko-sourced calibre accurate to within 30 seconds a month, asking very little of its owner in return. The gold sunray dial catches light in a way that shifts between champagne and warm yellow depending on the angle, and the fluted bezel reinforces that dressy register without much subtlety. At 11.2mm thick it wears flat enough for a 42mm case, and the two-tone bracelet — silver and gold running through to the three-fold clasp — keeps the whole thing coherent rather than mismatched.

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 comparedWhat size strap does it take?
22mm. 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.
