Lorus RU425AX9 Automatic Green Dial Bracelet Watch - W16352
Ref. RU425AX9
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 within the Seiko group's stable of brands, and the Sport Motion line draws directly on that heritage — the Y675 calibre inside is an SII movement, built by the same Seiko Instruments arm that supplies the engineering behind several of the parent company's own lines. It is a robust, self-winding workhorse that asks little of its owner beyond regular wear to keep it wound within its 40-hour reserve. The diver-style layout follows a familiar grammar — green dial, matching rotating bezel, luminous hands and markers, date at three — but at 12.9mm the case sits flatter than the silhouette might suggest, which keeps 42mm from feeling as imposing on the wrist as that diameter can. The exhibition caseback gives a clear view of the movement, and on a watch at this end of the automatic market that is not a trivial detail: it makes the mechanism part of the object rather than something hidden beneath a blank disc.

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?
No. It is automatic — the motion of your wrist winds it, and there is no cell to replace.
Quartz, automatic and solar comparedHow long does it run for when it's not worn?
About 40 hours fully wound — enough to survive a night off the wrist, but not a full weekend.
Is it a men's or women's watch?
Listed as men's.
