Automatic 18997/1 Watch

The Watch

Spanish brand Lotus brings remarkable expertise to every timepiece it creates. Its watches are sophisticated, well-equipped, and built to accompany you every day - combining bold design with reliable mechanics and durable materials. Today, Lotus invites you to discover the Automatic 18997/1 watch, crafted to adorn men's wrists in any condition. It features a round case measuring 40.50 mm in diameter in stainless steel, with a brushed and polished finish that gives it a striking silver tone. A protected gray crown with a grooved finish at 3 o'clock ensures easy handling. The dial elements are shielded by a sapphire crystal set within a notched bezel for impact protection. Finally, this model delivers 10 ATM water resistance via its screw-back case - which is also transparent, offering a view of the movement within.

The Dial

With its striking presence, this dial adds bold character to the timepiece. It features a blue sunray finish for a brilliantly eye-catching effect. Three silver hands at the center ensure accurate timekeeping - the hour and minute hands mark the time while the slender seconds hand sweeps the elapsed seconds. Together, they move across a minute railroad track of Arabic numerals grouped in fives around the rim, along with Arabic numerals at 6 and 12 o'clock, and gray hour indexes - all treated with a luminescent coating for optimal legibility in the dark. A black chapter ring with Arabic numerals adds further timekeeping precision. A dual window at 3 o'clock displays the day (in English abbreviation) and the date. Near 6 o'clock, the crystal type is noted, and below 12 o'clock, Lotus displays its logo, brand name, and movement type as its signature.

The Movement

This watch is powered by a Japanese automatic movement - specifically the Miyota 8205 caliber - which drives all functions with precision. It is vibration-resistant and beats at an oscillation frequency of 21,600 Alt/h. The movement features 21 jewels to minimize friction and delivers a power reserve of approximately 42 hours.

The Bracelet

Clean and refined, this bracelet completes any look for any occasion. Crafted in stainless steel, it ensures comfortable, secure wear. Its brushed and polished links conform naturally to your wrist, and the silver tone pairs seamlessly with all your accessories. Equipped with a quick-release system and a lug width of 19 mm, it fastens with a 17 mm deployant clasp for effortless use.

Water Resistance

With water resistance up to 100 meters - that's 10 ATM - this bold timepiece is just as at home at a gala as it is in the water. Wear it in the shower, the bath, or even during an energetic swim session. Keep in mind, however, that our watchmaking experts confirm this model is not designed for scuba diving, freediving, or high-pressure cleaning equipment. Remember: showers, baths, and swimming only - and always avoid operating the crown or pushers while underwater.
