Stepping up in Lorus's range
At 7.4mm thick, this is genuinely slim for a 40mm case — the kind of profile that disappears beneath a shirt cuff and sits flush against the wrist rather than riding above it. That geometry is the whole point of the Dress collection: a clean, low-profile watch that works in formal settings without requiring a dressy strap to signal it. The champagne sunray dial with baton markers keeps the face uncluttered, and in raking light the gold PVD case and bracelet read as a single continuous surface. Sapphire crystal is an unusual specification at this level of the market from a brand in Seiko's orbit, and it means the crystal will stay unmarked through daily wear in a way mineral glass does not.

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?
Unlikely. Sapphire is second only to diamond in hardness and shrugs off everyday marking.
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.
