Lorus Sports Chronograph Quartz Black Dial Stainless Steel Bracelet Mens Watch RT397JX9

Following on from their successes of the past 100 years, Seiko decided to launch its sister-brand Lorus into the European market, in 1982. Lorus offers not only affordable products, but products with high design and technology qualities. The production of all Lorus watches is overseen by Seiko and promises to deliver on the same standard of excellence as all other Seiko products.

The Case:

The Lorus Sports Chronograph RT397JXP features a circular 42mm case that is made out of brushed stainless steel. It features a fixed black bezel and short tapered lugs that compliment the watch’s sporty aesthetic. A crown is located at 3 o’clock on the side of the case, it is flanked by crown guards that prevent it from being knocked out of place. Two push-buttons are located either side of the crown at 2 and 4 o’clock; they can be used to engage with the dial’s chronograph functions. Mineral glass provides the watch with protection against scratches and shattering. 

The Dial:

The dial is presented in black with an eye-catching sunburst textured pattern. It exhibits three sub-dials at 3, 6 and 9 o’clock that each display a 24 hour timer, a 60-second timer and a 60-minute timer, respectively. It also features baton-style hour markers, that are interspersed by a 60-minute scale, and a silver sword-style handset that is coated with a luminous material that enables the dial to be read in the dark. A tachymeter scale is located around the chapter ring. The Lorus logo is presented in white beneath the 12 o’clock marker.

The Bracelet:

The watch is equipped with a sporty 3-link oyster style bracelet that is made out of brushed stainless steel. The bracelet fastens through the use of a fold over push-deployment clasp. 

The Functions:

The RT397JX9 is powered by Japanese made VD53 calibre quartz mechanisms. It is water resistant to 100 metres, which means that the watch can be worn when snorkelling.
