Lorus RM327JX9 Two Tone Chronograph Bracelet Watch - W16273
Ref. RM327JX9
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 Sports collection is Lorus's working brief for a chronograph that reads as purposeful rather than precious, and the combination of a deep green sunray dial with gold-toned accents is the most direct expression of that. It is a pairing that courts attention without pretending to be something it is not. At 45mm the case makes its presence felt, but 11.9mm of thickness keeps it from sitting too proud — this is a watch that wears larger than it stacks, which matters when a chronograph pushed under a cuff tends to catch. The VD57 inside is a Seiko-sourced calibre, which means the quartz movement behind all the sport-watch ambition is built to a standard the parent company stakes its name on. The sunray finish on the green dial shifts with the light in a way that flat printing cannot replicate, and the gold accents on the bracelet pick up the dial detail rather than simply matching the case metal.

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?
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?
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.
