Product Information

Full details

This Lorus Solar watch is designed for the modern gentleman who values both style and sustainability. Its key benefit is the solar-powered movement, eliminating battery changes and ensuring consistent timekeeping powered by any light source. A potential caveat is the 40mm dial size, which may be larger than some prefer for a dress watch. This timepiece features a striking blue sunray dial, semi-luminous hands and markers for readability, a two-tone stainless steel case and bracelet, and a date window, all within a 100-meter water-resistant design.

FAQs

How long does the solar charge last?

A full charge typically lasts for approximately 6 months in darkness. However, regular exposure to light ensures continuous operation without needing to rely on stored power.

What kind of light can I use to charge it?

Any light source can charge the watch, including natural sunlight and artificial indoor lighting. Sunlight is the most efficient for charging.

Do I need to change the battery?

No, this watch features a solar-powered movement, which eliminates the need for traditional battery replacements. It uses a rechargeable power cell.

Is this watch suitable for swimming?

Yes, with 100-meter water resistance, this watch is suitable for swimming and showering. However, it is not recommended for high-velocity water sports or deep-sea diving.

How do I set the date?

Pull the crown out to the second position and rotate it to set the date. Be sure to avoid setting the date between 9 PM and 3 AM to prevent potential issues with the date change mechanism.

What is the case made of?

The case is made of two-tone stainless steel, combining durability with a stylish aesthetic.

What are the dimensions of the watch?

The watch features a 40mm dial size and a contemporary design.

Troubleshooting

Watch has stopped or is losing time.

Expose the watch to a bright light source for at least 8 hours to fully recharge the power cell. If the issue persists after charging, ensure the crown is pushed in fully.

Date is not changing correctly.

Ensure you are setting the date correctly by pulling the crown to the second position and rotating it. Avoid setting the date between 9 PM and 3 AM, as this can cause the date mechanism to engage incorrectly.

Reduced luminosity on hands/markers.

The luminous material stores light. Expose the watch to a light source for a few minutes to 'charge' the luminosity. It will fade over time and requires light exposure to be effective.

Water resistance compromised (fogging under crystal).

Immediately take the watch to an authorized service center for inspection and drying. Do not attempt to use the watch if water ingress is suspected.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Environmentally friendly with solar power, reducing waste from battery replacements.
  • Exceptional readability in most lighting conditions thanks to luminous elements.
  • Durable construction with stainless steel case and bracelet.
  • Versatile design suitable for both casual and formal occasions.
  • No need for regular battery maintenance, offering long-term convenience.

Cons

  • The 40mm dial size may be too large for individuals with smaller wrists.
  • While water-resistant for swimming, it is not recommended for deep-sea diving.
  • Requires exposure to light to maintain power; prolonged darkness can stop the watch.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Initial Setup: The watch is powered by light. Upon first use or after prolonged darkness, expose the watch to a bright light source for several hours to fully charge the power cell. The watch should then resume normal operation.

Compatibility: This watch is a standalone timepiece and does not require connection to other devices. It is compatible with any light source for recharging.

Care Instructions:

  • Clean the case and bracelet regularly with a soft, dry cloth.
  • For stubborn dirt, use a slightly damp cloth, ensuring no moisture enters the watch.
  • Avoid exposing the watch to harsh chemicals or extreme temperatures.
  • Rinse with fresh water after exposure to saltwater or chlorinated water, then dry thoroughly.
  • Periodically check the crown and pushers to ensure they are properly secured to maintain water resistance.
