Storm 47553/SL/R Camera V7 Slate Red Bracelet Watch - Special Edition - W87424
Ref. 47553/SL/R
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.The Camera line began in 1995, and this is its seventh iteration — thirty years of the same central idea, refined rather than replaced. The design takes the camera aperture as its organising principle, and unlike most watches that borrow visual language from photography and stop there, this one makes the mechanism literal: a bar at six o'clock, turned anticlockwise, opens the bezel like a shutter, progressively uncovering the red sunray dial beneath. It is a piece of theatre that still functions as a watch, and the special edition etched steel certificate acknowledges that the gesture is deliberate. On the wrist at 43.5mm with a slate-finished case, it reads as unambiguously industrial — the engine-turned bezel edge reinforces that register rather than softening it. The red dial, revealed or concealed depending on how far you have turned the mechanism, shifts the character of the watch in your hand in a way that almost nothing else in this price bracket attempts.

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.
