Storm 47246/B V2 Navigator Lazer Blue Bracelet Watch - W87121
Ref. 47246/B
Sits in Storm’s upper tier here — more premium than three quarters of the Storm watches we list, which start at £45.
Price range £45 to £270 across 72 Storm watches in stock.The original Navigator was one of Storm's defining pieces from the 1990s, when the brand built its reputation on functional, instrument-heavy designs that looked like they meant business. The V2 is a direct revival of that watch, bringing the same multi-tool ambition — dual time zones, compass, thermometer, date — into a current production case. At 47mm it wears as a deliberate presence, and the brushed steel does useful work here, softening what might otherwise read as aggressive. The lazer blue dial is the signature Storm move: high contrast, legible, and unapologetic about being noticed. With this many functions displayed at once, dial organisation matters, and Storm has kept it readable rather than cluttered.

Learn more about Storm
Storm was founded in London in 1989 and spent the next decade doing something few watch brands attempt: treating the case as sculpture rather than a container for a dial.
The house style is immediately identifiable — mirror-polished steel, faceted and asymmetric cases, dials with no numerals at all, and a fondness for finishes that make the whole watch look like a single machined block of metal.
Some of the designs abandon conventional time display entirely, using rotating discs, hidden apertures or coloured mirror crystals that only reveal the time at certain angles. The Remi and Zorex lines have carried that idea for years.
The brand designs and produces its own watches rather than licensing the name, and sells through its own stores and jewellers, mostly in the UK and Europe.
Movements are quartz throughout. The point has never been the mechanics; it is that a Storm watch does not look like anything else in the window, which after thirty-five years remains a fair claim.
