Stepping up in the same colour and case shape
Lorus sits within the Seiko Watch Corporation family, and the movements it uses carry the reliability that implies — a quartz calibre with around three years between battery changes and no meaningful maintenance in between. The Classic range puts that movement into a case designed for daily wear without fuss. At 41mm across and only 9mm thick, the case wears lighter than the size suggests: 48 grams on the wrist, and a profile flat enough to pass under a shirt cuff without catching. The blue sunray dial shifts with the light, the silver baton markers reading cleanly against it, and the day-date at three keeps the layout uncluttered. The matching dark blue leather strap ties the whole thing together, the tone consistent enough that dial and strap read as a considered pair rather than a coincidence.

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?
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.
