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 builds the Dualation around an industrial aesthetic that has always sat at the brand's core — layered, mechanical-looking dials with visible cog architecture, finished here with a red accent that lifts the skeleton work against the brushed steel case. The special edition packaging and certificate of authenticity mark this as a deliberate cut above the standard run. At 47mm it makes no attempt at subtlety, and the crown guards and multi-layer dial construction give it genuine visual depth rather than the flat look that catches out many oversized quartz pieces. The GMT complication adds a second time zone to the skeleton display, making the watch more useful than its styling alone might suggest.

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.

Does it need a battery?

Yes. It is quartz, so expect a battery change every two to three years at a jeweller.

Is it a men's or women's watch?

Listed as men's.
