Stepping up in Lorus's range
A straightforward sports chronograph from Lorus's active-wear line, built around the VD53 — a Seiko-made quartz calibre that runs quietly, accurately, and without the fuss of a power reserve to manage. Being a Seiko group movement, it carries a reliability that sits well above what the sports tier usually demands. At 43mm the case reads confidently on the wrist, but 11.4mm keeps it from stacking too high under a cuff. The black sunray dial organises three sub-dials cleanly — split time, running seconds, and a 12-to-24-hour register — with the date cut neatly between four and five o'clock. The red stitching on the leather strap gives the steel-and-black combination somewhere to land visually without overplaying its hand.

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.
