Stepping up in the same colour and case shape
Lorus sits within the Seiko Watch Corporation's portfolio, and the Y121 movement inside this watch is the same Seiko-built calibre found across that group's reliable everyday pieces — accurate, battery-operated and straightforwardly maintained. At 7.8mm thick, the case is genuinely slim for a 40mm watch, and it disappears beneath a shirt cuff without the bulk that catches on a sleeve. The black sunray dial reads clearly against the silver baton markers, and the polished steel case keeps things dressed without demanding a formal occasion.

Frequently asked questions, and things you should know about this watch
Can I swim with it?
Showering yes, swimming no. 50m covers splashes and brief immersion, but a swimming stroke generates well above the pressure that figure describes.
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?
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, though at 40mm it sits in the range that suits anyone.
