Stepping up in the same colour and case shape
Lorus sits beneath Seiko in the group's hierarchy, sharing access to Seiko Epson movements while keeping things uncomplicated. The AS32 solar-quartz calibre here charges from both natural and artificial light, removing battery changes from the ownership equation entirely — practically speaking, it means the watch runs without any maintenance the owner needs to think about. At 42mm and 60 grams, the case wears with more presence than weight, and 11.3mm of thickness keeps it relatively unobtrusive under a cuff. The combination of polished and brushed finishing on the steel breaks the light two ways, which does more for a black dial than a uniform surface would. Luminous hands and indices handle low-light legibility without fuss, and 100m of water resistance puts it comfortably beyond anything a leather strap is likely to survive anyway.

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 charges from light, and the cell behind that is designed to last a decade or more.
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.
