Stepping up in the same colour and case shape
Lorus is a Seiko subsidiary, and the VD57 movement inside this watch is a direct expression of that parentage — a quartz chronograph calibre engineered by Seiko, chosen for accuracy and the near-absence of servicing demands over a long working life. The blue sunray dial is the detail that lifts it out of the ordinary for the Sports range: the red accents on the sub-dials and hands read as a considered contrast rather than decoration, and they give the chronograph layout a legibility it earns in use. At 11.4mm the case sits flatter on the wrist than most 42mm chronographs manage, which means it clears a cuff without the usual bulk. The folding deployant clasp makes daily on-and-off straightforward, with link removal the route to a precise 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.
