Storm 47502/LB Avalonic Lazer Blue Watch - W87335
Ref. 47502/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 £270 across 72 Storm watches in stock.Storm's Avalonic collection is built around spectacle rather than subtlety, and the Lazer Blue variant makes that intent as literal as possible. The defining element is the iridescent mineral crystal, which catches and shifts through blue in a way that changes with every angle of light — not a static colour but something closer to an oil slick or a butterfly wing, held under glass. At 47mm and 160g, this is a watch that declares itself on the wrist without ambiguity. The dual-time layout splits the dial into two discrete time zone displays, which suits the industrial architecture of the case and gives the dial a structured, almost mechanical busyness that matches the proportions. The 24mm bracelet is proportionate to that footprint and keeps the whole thing from reading as top-heavy, though anyone who finds large watches uncomfortable will want to try it before committing — 160g is genuinely 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
Can I swim with it?
Showering yes, swimming no. 50m covers splashes and brief immersion, but a swimming stroke generates well above the pressure that figure describes.
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?
24mm. 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.
Is it a men's or women's watch?
Listed as men's.
