Roamer 983983 41 45 50 Optimus Automatic Bracelet Watch - W60306
Ref. 983983 41 45 50
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 18 Roamer watches in stock.The Optimus sits in Roamer's range as a dressed-up everyday automatic — Swiss in origin, classical in layout, and built to a specification that holds up against considerably more expensive competition. Dauphine hands, faceted and catching light at angles, work well against the blue dial, and the applied indices give the whole face a quiet depth that flat printing cannot match. At 11.5mm thick, the case wears closer to the wrist than most 42mm automatics, which means it passes under a shirt cuff without the usual bulk. The Sellita SW240-1 inside is a solid Swiss workhorse with a 48-hour reserve — reliable enough that the seven-year manufacturer warranty behind it does not feel like a gesture. The butterfly clasp keeps the bracelet's profile unbroken at the wrist, a detail that reads as considered rather than incidental at this level of finishing.

Frequently asked questions, and things you should know about this watch
Can I swim with it?
Showering yes, swimming no. 50m covers splashes and brief immersion, but a swimming stroke generates well above the pressure that figure describes.
Water resistance explainedWill the glass scratch?
Unlikely. Sapphire is second only to diamond in hardness and shrugs off everyday marking.
Sapphire, mineral and acrylic comparedDoes it need a battery?
No. It is automatic — the motion of your wrist winds it, and there is no cell to replace.
Quartz, automatic and solar comparedHow long does it run for when it's not worn?
About 48 hours fully wound — enough to survive a night off the wrist, but not a full weekend.
What 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.
