Blue Minimalist Watch 18693/2

The Watch

Since its founding in 1980, Lotus has built a reputation for cosmopolitan, urban, and modern collections. The brand presents the Minimalist 18693/2 watch - a streamlined design built around a classic round case crafted in 316L stainless steel and measuring 42 mm in diameter. Elegant in its simplicity, it is topped by a flat mineral crystal covering the dial, while the right side features a knurled crown for setting the hours, minutes, and date. The case back ensures 10 ATM water resistance.

The Dial

This watch features a beautiful, clean, and understated dial in a rich navy blue enhanced by an attractive sunray finish. Around its edge, a minute track is paired with small square white indices marking the hours. The hour markers take a rose gold trapezoid shape and benefit from a luminescent coating for improved readability in the dark. The baton hands and the apple seconds hand are also rose gold and filled with luminescent material. The date is displayed above 6 o'clock in a white window framed in the same tone as the other markers. Finally, the brand signature sits just below 12 o'clock, which is indicated by an Arabic numeral.

The Movement

This model runs with precision thanks to a Japanese-made quartz movement - specifically the Miyota 2315 caliber, powered by an Sr626sw battery with a 3-year autonomy. It drives the hands and the date window with reliability and accuracy.

The Bracelet

The look of this watch is completed by a handsome bovine leather strap measuring 22.50 mm wide at the lug. It features a brown tone with a smooth finish and a standard pin buckle for a secure fit.

Water Resistance

This model offers 10 atmospheres of water resistance - that's 100 meters. This one is truly water-ready. From puddles to the pool, this timepiece will handle it all without complaint. Showers, baths, and lap swimming are all fair game. That said, our watchmaking experts at Ocarat want you to know that despite its water resistance, this model is not rated for diving (recreational or professional) and should be kept away from high-pressure cleaning equipment. We also recommend not operating the crown or pushers while submerged.
