Sits in Roamer’s upper tier here — more premium than three quarters of the Roamer watches we list, which start at £159.

Price range £159 to £509 across 21 Roamer watches in stock.

The Gran Sportivo is Roamer's sport-chic proposition: a chronograph with a tachymeter bezel and 100m water resistance that reads as considerably more dressed than most watches doing that job. At 41.5mm across and 12mm deep it sits comfortably in the middle of the current mainstream, neither demanding attention by size nor disappearing on the wrist. The blue sunray dial rewards a moment's attention — applied indices, the date sitting cleanly at six o'clock, and a layout that keeps the chronograph subdials from crowding one another. The Ronda Z50 is Swiss-made and unshowy, which suits a watch of this type well. What separates it from the single-strap version is the push-pin interchangeable system: the steel bracelet for the week and the matching blue leather for the weekend, swapped without tools in seconds.

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.

Will the glass scratch?

Unlikely. Sapphire is second only to diamond in hardness and shrugs off everyday marking.

Does it need a battery?

Yes. It is quartz, so expect a battery change every two to three years at a jeweller.

What 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.
