Lorus RS905EX9 Blue Dial Bracelet Watch - W16343
Ref. RS905EX9
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.Lorus sits in the same corporate family as Seiko, and the VJ42 movement inside this watch reflects that — it is a Seiko-derived calibre, accurate to within 30 seconds a month, which is a dependable performer for a watch worn daily without ceremony. The dial is the thing worth stopping on. A colour-fade gradient in deep blue, read through a double-curved mineral crystal that adds a gentle visual depth, shifts in tone as the light changes across the day. At 9.8mm thick and 40mm across, this is a case that sits flush rather than proud, and it wears easily against a cuff.

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.
