Lorus RL405BX9 Automatic Stainless Steel Bracelet Watch - W16246
Ref. RL405BX9
Sits in Lorus’s upper tier here — more premium than three quarters of the Lorus watches we list, which start at £30.
Price range £30 to £140 across 44 Lorus watches in stock.Lorus sits within Seiko's wider family of brands, and the Y676 movement inside this watch makes that lineage tangible — it is a close relative of the 7S26, the self-winding calibre Seiko has built by the million and which has earned a reputation for running without complaint for decades. The exhibition caseback lets you watch it working, which is a reasonable thing to want from an automatic at any level. The dial reads clearly at a glance: large Arabic numerals in a field-watch arrangement against dark blue, with a red-tipped seconds hand that makes tracking the sweep easy even in poor light. At 42mm across and 12.5mm thick, it sits with some presence on the wrist without becoming unwieldy, and the bracelet adjusts by conventional link removal to sit flush once sized correctly.

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?
No. It is automatic — the motion of your wrist winds it, and there is no cell to replace.
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.
