Stepping up in the same colour and case shape
Lorus sits within the Seiko group, and that relationship is quietly useful here: the PC32 movement inside is an SII calibre, built to Seiko's tolerances and rated to within thirty seconds a month — more than most wearers will ever notice. The case is 10.2mm at its thinnest, which for a 40mm watch with a 100-metre rating is genuinely slim — it disappears under a shirt cuff without the bulk that depth ratings usually demand. Full titanium throughout, case and bracelet, means it sits lighter on the wrist than its proportions suggest, and for anyone who reacts to the nickel content common in steel bracelets, the hypoallergenic properties are a practical advantage rather than a marketing note. The blue dial reads clearly in most light, with baton indices and a single Arabic numeral anchoring the 12 o'clock position.

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 resists most everyday knocks. Hardlex is a hardened mineral glass — tougher than standard mineral, softer than sapphire.
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 40mm it sits in the range that suits anyone.
