Lorus RW649AX9 Stainless Steel Chronograph Bracelet Watch - W16236
Ref. RW649AX9
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 Z021 inside is a Seiko-engineered ana-digi module, which is more than a lineage footnote — it means the hybrid display, where analogue hands share the dial with recessed digital windows, is executed with the kind of calibration that keeps the two readings genuinely in step rather than merely decorating each other. At 46mm across and 16mm deep, this sits firmly in bold-casual territory: the proportions are made for a bare wrist, not a cuffed sleeve, and the black dial with its mix of analogue and digital readouts rewards that kind of visibility. The bracelet clasp uses push-button safety releases on both sides, which at this weight makes a practical difference to how securely the watch stays put during the activities the 100m rating actually invites.

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.
