Stepping up in the same colour and case shape
Lorus sits under the Seiko umbrella, and the VD57 movement inside this watch is a Seiko-manufactured calibre — the same group that builds movements for considerably more expensive pieces. That provenance means the quartz engine here is more carefully assembled than the price bracket would suggest, with a reputation for long, accurate service. At 44mm the case fills a wrist with purpose, but 11.3mm of thickness keeps it from stacking awkwardly under a cuff. The black sunray dial catches light differently as the wrist moves, and the red accents on the sub-dials give the chronograph layout a readable hierarchy without becoming garish. The fixed tachymeter bezel completes the sports brief cleanly. Folded-link bracelets of this kind carry the watch lightly for their size, and the push-button deployant makes for a secure, repeatable fit.

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.
