Stepping up in the same colour and case shape
A clean field-style watch from Lorus's Classic range, sitting at 39mm — broad enough to read easily without demanding the wrist. The white dial carries straightforward hour numerals, a day-date window at three o'clock, and the LumiBrite treatment applied across the full face rather than the hands and indices alone, so the entire dial glows in the dark rather than just its skeleton. The VJ33 movement behind it is Seiko Group engineering at an accessible tier — reliable, accurate, and unlikely to need attention. On a plain black leather strap with a pin buckle, this is a watch that dresses up or down without trying, and gets out of the way of whichever it does.

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 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, though at 39mm it sits in the range that suits anyone.
