Storm 47343/B Alvara Lazer Blue Watch - W87151
Ref. 47343/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 57 Storm watches in stock.The Alvara is Storm's attempt at collapsing a watch and a bangle into a single piece — the cutout bracelet reads as jewellery until you notice the rectangular dial sitting within it. On the wrist it spans 32mm in total, wide enough to register as an accessory rather than disappear under a cuff. The dial's blue tint comes from Storm's lazer glass, which shifts the apparent colour depending on the angle of light — what reads as deep blue straight on can soften or intensify as the wrist moves. The same rectangular case and cuff architecture appears in several colourways, but the lazer blue glass is the detail this version is built around.

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
Can I swim with it?
No. This watch carries no water resistance rating — keep it dry, and take it off before washing your hands.
Water resistance explainedWill the glass scratch?
It can, over time. Mineral glass handles daily wear but will pick up fine scratches that sapphire would not.
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 comparedIs it a men's or women's watch?
Listed as women's.
