Storm 47246/IP/GY V2 Navigator IP Matt Grey Watch - W87360
Ref. 47246/IP/GY
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 Navigator first appeared in Storm's catalogue in the 1990s, and this V2 is a deliberate return to that template rather than a reinvention of it — the silhouette and the multi-function brief both carry over, updated in matt grey PVD and wearing the brand's characteristic laser-cut dial treatment. At 47mm with a square case, it sits large and flat on the wrist, and the instrument-panel layout of the dial earns its space: GMT, compass and thermometer alongside the date give it a genuine reason to run that size rather than doing so purely for effect. The deployant clasp with its push-button release and secondary safety mechanism is a considered choice on a bracelet this substantial.

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.

Frequently asked questions, and things you should know about this watch
Will the glass scratch?
It can, over time. Mineral glass handles daily wear but will pick up fine scratches that sapphire would not.
Does it need a battery?
Yes. It is quartz, so expect a battery change every two to three years at a jeweller.
Is it a men's or women's watch?
Listed as men's.
