Stepping up in the same dial colour

Price range £30 to £160 across 94 Lorus watches in stock.

The octagonal case is a deliberate nod to dress watches of the 1970s, when geometric cases were the language of occasion wear. At 19mm it sits closer to a bracelet than a conventional watch face, hugging the wrist rather than asserting itself, and at 6.5mm deep it disappears under a shirt cuff entirely. The white dial with Arabic numerals reads clearly at a glance, which matters on something this small, and the gold PVD case against the black leather strap is a contrast that has worked for fifty years without requiring revision.

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 explained

Will 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 compared

Does 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 compared

What size strap does it take?

10mm. 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 women's.
