Lorus RT387KX9 Chronograph Tan Leather Strap Watch - W16346
Ref. RT387KX9
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.The cushion-shaped case is the first thing to notice — rounder at the corners than a standard sports case, which softens what would otherwise be a purely functional watch. Against the grey sunray dial, the bronze-toned accents read as a deliberate flourish rather than a standard trim choice, and they pull through to the strap in a way that holds the whole thing together. The VD53 is a Seiko-built calibre, which means it is made by the parent company that supplies movements to its own prestige lines — straightforward to service, accurate without adjustment, and the chronograph function runs without the hesitation that cheaper column-wheel alternatives can show at cold temperatures. The padded brown leather strap adds some thickness underhand but wears in quickly, and a pin buckle at 20mm lug width means resizing needs nothing more than a pin. Rated to 100m, it handles more than swimming and considerably more than most leather-strapped watches are expected to face.

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?
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.
Cheapest place to buy
