Automatic Watch 18996/2

The Watch

Founded in Spain in 1980, Lotus quickly carved out a place in the watch market with its modern, sporty design. The brand offers a wide range of models in varied styles, all built to exacting standards. From everyday wear to special occasions, Lotus watches deliver both style and functionality - built tough and ready for anything, just like this Automatic Watch 18996/2. Designed for men's wrists, it features a round case with a 39 mm diameter. Crafted in stainless steel, a material celebrated for its resilience in watchmaking, it is brushed and polished and topped with a sapphire crystal to protect the dial from potential impacts. At 3 o'clock, a grey grooved crown provides a secure grip and controls the central functions. The whole is sealed by a screw-down caseback ensuring water resistance to 10 ATM, fitted with an exhibition opening for a mesmerizing view of the movement in action.

The Dial

This navy blue dial lends a polished edge to this timepiece. Its round shape is enhanced by a sunray finish that gives it an eye-catching brilliance. The outer edge features a minute track with square and grey baton indices for easy hour reading. They are swept over by the three matching hands at the center. The hour and minute hands feature a luminescent treatment, as do the hour markers, for optimal legibility in low light. A date window with a white background and cyclops lens joins them at 3 o'clock. Near 6 o'clock, the crystal type is noted, and just below 12 o'clock, the brand logo and name are displayed alongside the movement type as a signature.

The Movement

This timepiece is driven by an automatic movement of Japanese origin. It is specifically the Miyota 8215 caliber, which powers the hands and date window with precision. It beats at a frequency of 21,600 vph and resists vibrations. Reliable by design, this mechanism is fitted with 21 jewels to minimize friction and delivers a power reserve of approximately 42 hours.

The Bracelet

This silver bracelet pairs beautifully with all your accessories. Crafted in stainless steel, it offers lasting durability. It features three rows of brushed links alternating with polished links for a striking contrast. It hugs your wrist naturally for a comfortable fit all day long. Its lug width is 18 mm, and its deployment clasp makes it effortless to put on and take off.

Water Resistance

This model offers water resistance of 10 atmospheres, or 100 meters. It's a genuinely water-resistant watch! Ready to make a splash wherever you go - from puddles to the pool - this timepiece handles showers, baths, and active swimming without missing a beat. That said, the Ocarat watchmaking experts want you to know this water-resistant model is not suitable for diving (professional or recreational) and should be kept away from high-pressure cleaning equipment. We also recommend avoiding use of the crown or pushers while submerged.
