Storm 47313/LB Starletti Lazer Blue Bangle/Bracelet Watch - W87418
Ref. 47313/LB
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 £100 across 24 Storm watches in stock.The Starletti sits somewhere between watch and bangle, which is precisely what Storm intended. The 38mm measurement here runs across the wrist rather than down it — the lug-to-lug span of 30mm keeps the rectangular dial compact on the wrist while the wide, articulated metal band reads as jewellery from across the room. At 7.3mm thin and 59 grams total, it disappears in the wearing. The defining element is the edge-to-edge Lazer Blue crystal, which behaves more like a lens than a conventional glass. It shifts between deep blue, turquoise and violet as the light angle changes, with a bare minimalist dial beneath — no hour markers, just three silver hands against the shifting colour. The result is that the watch reads differently in morning light than in the evening, which keeps it from feeling static.

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.
Will it fit my wrist?
Lug-to-lug is 30mm, which suits wrists from roughly 15cm (6 inches) upward.
Lug-to-lug decides fit more than case diameter does.
Is it a men's or women's watch?
Listed as women's, though at 38mm it sits in the range that suits anyone.
