Lorus RX389AX9 Solar Blue Dial Bracelet Watch - W16333
Ref. RX389AX9
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.A straightforward sports watch from Lorus's current lineup, built around the Seiko-made AS32 solar calibre. That movement charges from any light source — natural or artificial — and once fully charged will run for around four months in complete darkness, which removes battery changes as a practical concern for most owners. The sunray blue dial picks up light well enough to shift between near-navy in shade and a cleaner mid-blue in brighter conditions, and at 40mm the case sits at a size that suits a broad range of wrists without demanding attention. At 11mm thick it is not a slim watch, but it carries 100m of water resistance and the weight — 102 grams on the bracelet — gives it a solid, present feel without becoming tiresome through the day.

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?
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, though at 40mm it sits in the range that suits anyone.
