Lorus Collections

Every Lorus watch is backed by the Seiko Watch Corporation, one of the most established names in watchmaking. Movements are quartz, automatic, or solar, and cases made from durable materials such as including stainless steel and mineral crystal glass. The collection is built for attractive, dependable, everyday timekeeping at an accessible price point.

The Lorus Men’s Collection covers a broad selection of styles. You will find classic dress watches, chronographs with stopwatch functions, automatic watches with exhibition case backs, solar-powered models, field watches with Lumibrite dials, and sports watches with timing features. Strap and bracelet options include stainless steel, leather, nylon, and silicone.

The Lorus Ladies’ Collection features a range of designs from stainless steel bracelet watches (including expandable bracelet options) to models with leather and silicone straps. Finishes include silver-tone, gold-tone, two-tone, and rose gold-coloured options. Dial colours span white, silver, black, blue, pink, champagne, and more. The collection includes simple three-hand designs as well as watches with date functions and solar-powered movements.

Yes. The Lorus Kids Collection is designed specifically for younger wearers. There are both analogue and digital models suitable for children at different stages of learning to tell the time and in different sizes for a variety of ages. The watches feature lightweight cases with polyurethane or silicone straps in a range of vibrant colours. Displays are clear and easy to read, and the materials are built to handle everyday wear.

A Lorus automatic watch is powered by the natural movement of your wrist, so it does not require a battery. A weighted rotor inside the case spins as you move, winding the mainspring and storing energy. Most models in the Lorus Automatic Collection feature exhibition case backs, allowing you to see the Seiko-designed movement at work. Bracelets and straps are available in stainless steel, leather, nylon, and silicone depending on the model. If the watch is left unworn for an extended period, it will need to be manually wound or worn again to restart.

Lorus solar watches are fitted with a solar cell beneath the dial that converts both natural and artificial light into energy stored in a rechargeable battery. This means the watch charges whether you are outdoors in sunlight or sitting under a desk lamp or office lighting. Once fully charged, Lorus solar models can continue running for approximately four months without further light exposure. Because the battery is continuously recharged by light, it lasts significantly longer than a standard watch battery and requires less frequent replacement, though it will still need to be changed eventually.

Lumibrite is a luminous coating developed by Seiko, applied to the hands and hour markers of certain Lorus watches. It absorbs light and glows in the dark, making it easier to read the time in low-light conditions. Lumibrite charges quickly with brief exposure to any light source and provides a consistent, even glow. It is most commonly found on Lorus sports watches and field watch models, including titanium variants. Some Lumibrite models feature nylon or silicone straps suited to outdoor and active use.

Lorus field watches are designed with legibility and durability as priorities. They typically feature clear, high-contrast dials with Lumibrite-coated hands and markers for visibility in low light. Some models use lightweight titanium cases, reducing weight on the wrist without compromising strength, while others use stainless steel. The field watch range draws on a military-inspired design language, with a focus on practical, functional timekeeping and a stripped-back aesthetic.

Lorus sports watches are built for active wear. Useful features include chronograph timing functions, clear luminous displays, and durable stainless steel or plastic cases with silicone or polyurethane straps. The range covers analogue, digital, and duo-display formats. Some sports models also include Lumibrite flow-in-the dark highlights for low-light readability. Lorus sports watches are available for adults and younger wearers across a range of dial colours and strap options.

Lorus offers titanium models, primarily within the field watch range. Titanium is significantly lighter than stainless steel while maintaining comparable strength, making it a practical and comfortable choice for all-day wear. Lorus titanium watches typically feature dials with Lumibrite-coated hands and markers, keeping the focus on readability and function.

Yes. Lorus offers digital watches across its Men's and Kids collections. These models feature clear LCD displays, alarm functions, stopwatch timing, and backlighting for use in low light. Some adult models are duo-display, combining an analogue face with a digital readout for additional functionality. Digital Lorus watches are available for men, women and children.

Yes. Most Lorus watches use standard lug widths, so replacement straps and watch bracelets are widely available from high-street jewellers and online watch strap retailers. For bracelet models, Lorus stainless steel bracelets can typically be adjusted or replaced. To find the correct strap size, check the specifications on the product page or look at the SKU number on your watch case back, which will help you identify the right fit.

Lorus quartz and chronograph watches use standard watch batteries that can be replaced by our official Seiko UK service centre, some high-street jewellers or watch repair services. It is recommended to have the battery replaced professionally to ensure the case back is resealed correctly. If your Lorus watch is a solar-powered model, it does not use a conventional replaceable battery and charges through light exposure instead. Solar watches can charge from either artificial or natural light. For the correct battery size and type, a watch repairer can check the calibre number on the case back of your watch.

A quartz watch uses a battery-powered quartz crystal to regulate timekeeping. Lorus quartz watches typically keep time to within approximately +/- 30 seconds per month and require very little maintenance beyond periodic battery replacement. The majority of the Lorus collection, including men’s, ladies’, chronograph, and sports models, use quartz movements, making them a straightforward and low-maintenance choice for everyday wear.

Yes. Lorus offers gold-tone watches for both men and women. These models feature gold-coloured cases and bracelets, giving the appearance of gold at an accessible price point. The range includes full gold-tone designs as well as two-tone options that combine gold and silver effect finishes. Gold-tone Lorus watches are available across men's and ladies’ collections.

Instructions for your Lorus watch can be found by looking up the calibre number on your warranty, receipt or case back. Visit the Lorus UK instructions page https://www.lorus-watches.co.uk/instruction-manuals/ and enter the calibre number to locate the correct instruction manual for your model. The manual covers setting the time, using additional functions such as chronograph timing, alarms, or date adjustment, and provides general care guidance. For digital models, the calibre number is especially important as it determines the specific button functions.

Lorus watches work well as gifts thanks to the wide variety of styles and price points across the range. The collection covers men’s, ladies’, and children’s watches, with options including classic dress watches, sporty chronographs, colourful youth models, and solar-powered watches. The brand’s backing from Seiko Watch Corporation provides confidence in the build and reliability of every timepiece, whether you are buying for an adult or a child.
