Stepping up in the same colour and case shape
A sports watch from Lorus, the Seiko-owned label, running the PC32 movement — a quartz calibre drawn from the same corporate well as the movements in far more expensive Seikos. At 10.1mm it sits flat enough to clear a cuff without drama, and at 60 grams on the wrist the leather strap makes itself forgotten quickly. The black sunray dial earns the green second hand rather than being upstaged by it, and the same green reappears in the strap's side accents and the white-stitched leather ties the whole thing together without looking contrived. Arabic numerals keep the dial readable at a glance, which is the right call on a watch positioned as a sports piece.

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.
