Stepping up in Lorus's range
Lorus sits within the Seiko Watch Corporation family, and the Z021 movement here reflects that connection — it is the same organisation's engineering underneath, bringing a ten-function electronic circuit that handles dual time tracking, alarm, countdown, stopwatch and auto-calendar alongside the analogue display. The ana-digi format is a deliberate choice for a watch in the Sports range: the analogue hands read the time at a glance while the digital window carries everything else, keeping the dial legible without sacrificing function. At 46mm and 155 grams on a gold-tone bracelet, this sits firmly in bold-wrist territory. The black dial creates strong contrast against the gold case and markers, which helps both the analogue and digital registers read cleanly in low light — the EL backlight covers situations where that is not enough. The case is not subtle, but it is not trying to be.

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.
