Stepping up in Storm's range
The Mini Sotec is Storm's smaller take on one of its better-known designs, trimmed to 33mm and kept almost aggressively flat at 6.8mm — thin enough that the mesh bracelet drapes against the wrist rather than sitting proud of it, and light enough at 49 grams that both together barely register. The teal dial runs edge to edge beneath the crystal, eliminating any visible bezel and giving the watch more face than its dimensions suggest. That colour shifts with the light — cooler and more architectural indoors, warmer against the gold case in direct sun. The sliding folding clasp on the mesh bracelet adjusts without tools, which matters more than it sounds on a bracelet this fine.

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.
What size strap does it take?
16mm. 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.
Will it fit my wrist?
Lug-to-lug is 39mm, 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.
