Storm 47530/AQ Roxin Aqua Bracelet Watch - W87366
Ref. 47530/AQ
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 £70 across 13 Storm watches in stock.The Roxin is Storm's answer to a particular kind of dressing watch: small enough at 28mm to sit neatly on a slender wrist without bulk, and finished in a two-tone mix of brushed and polished steel with gold-toned accents that keeps it from reading as purely utilitarian. The pale aqua dial, ringed by a fluted bezel and marked with crystal indices at the hours, catches light differently depending on the angle. At 9mm thick the bracelet and case stack stays close to the wrist, and the integrated three-link construction gives the whole thing a cohesive look that a separate strap would not. The folding clasp fastens securely without requiring fiddling.

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?
13mm. 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 women's.
