Stepping up in Storm's range
Storm has built a niche around watches that read more like objects of industrial design than conventional timekeeping, and the Oston is a clear example of that instinct. The all-metal dial face and revolving disc display replace the usual hands entirely, giving the time in a way that takes a beat to learn but becomes second nature quickly. At 43mm and 129g, this sits firmly on the wrist and makes itself known — the bracelet is substantial enough to carry the weight evenly, though anyone with a slender wrist may find the proportions demanding. The futuristic aesthetic is consistent front to back, and the brushed steel finish unifies case and bracelet without relying on contrast to hold interest.

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.
Is it a men's or women's watch?
Listed as men's.
