The Watch

Founded in 1980, Lotus has stood as a symbol of elegance and modernity in the watchmaking world. The brand sets itself apart with refined, design-forward timepieces that seamlessly blend technological innovation with aesthetics. Built from premium materials and equipped with cutting-edge mechanisms, they make for truly exceptional companions. Today, the Spanish brand invites you to discover the Automatic Watch 18996/5 - crafted to deliver a one-of-a-kind timekeeping experience. It features a round case measuring 39 mm in diameter with a sleek silver tone. Crafted in stainless steel, it is brushed and polished for lasting durability. Its surface is protected by a sapphire crystal that shields the inner elements from impacts. Setting is handled via a grooved crown positioned on the right side of the case. The whole is sealed by a screwed, transparent caseback guaranteeing water resistance to 10 ATM. Thanks to its open caseback, you can admire the intricate movement within.

The Dial

This dial is thoughtfully laid out for a reading experience that is both effortless and captivating. Its black background features a minute track around the edge, with square indices and baton markers for the hours. At the center, three grey hands sweep across and indicate the time with precision. The hour and minute hands are coated with a luminescent treatment, as are the hour markers, ensuring optimal readability whenever you need it. The slim seconds hand joins them for the seconds, and for added functionality, a date window is positioned at 3 o'clock. It features a white background with a cyclops lens for easy reading. At 6 o'clock, the crystal type is noted, and just below 12 o'clock, the dial is signed with the brand logo, name, and movement type.

The Movement

This watch is powered by a reliable and precise automatic movement. Of Japanese origin, it is specifically the Miyota 8215 caliber, which drives the various functions with accuracy. This mechanism beats at a frequency of 21,600 vph and features 21 jewels that minimize friction. It resists vibrations and offers a power reserve of approximately 42 hours.

The Bracelet

This bracelet is designed to deliver both comfort and durability. Crafted in stainless steel, it ensures a secure and comfortable wear every day. It features a domed, polished finish in a grey tone that pairs effortlessly with all your accessories. Its lug width is 18 mm, and thanks to its deployment clasp, it's easy to put on and take off.

Water Resistance

With water resistance of 100 meters - or 10 ATM in watchmaking terms - this bold timepiece is equally at home at a black-tie gala and in the water. Feel free to wear it in the shower, in the bath, or while swimming (even at a vigorous pace!). That said, our team of watchmaking experts wants you to know this model is not designed for scuba diving - whether freediving or with tanks - nor for use with high-pressure cleaning equipment. Remember: showers, baths, and swimming only - and keep the crown and pushers dry.
