Lorus RL468AX9 Gold Tone Automatic Bracelet Watch - W16207
Ref. RL468AX9
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 £160 across 94 Lorus watches in stock.The green sunray dial is the reason to look at this watch twice: depending on the angle, it shifts between deep forest and something closer to khaki, and the gold-tone hands and indices sit against it with enough contrast to read clearly without dominating. The combination is bolder than a standard dress watch and more considered than a plain sports piece. The Y676 automatic inside shares its bones with the architecture Seiko built the 7S26 on — a movement valued for running reliably over years rather than for complications or finishing. It does not hack and cannot be wound by hand, so setting it means wearing it or giving it a shake; that is the only real concession. The exhibition caseback at 12.52mm keeps the profile surprisingly wearable for a 43mm case, and the push-button deployment clasp with a safety catch makes the bracelet as secure as it is straightforward to use.

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?
22mm. 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.
Cheapest place to buy
F.Hinds is the only UK retailer we track stocking this reference, so there is nothing to compare it against today.
