Chrono Watch 18989/1

The Watch

Founded by Miguel Rodriguez in Barcelona, Lotus has made a name for itself with bold contemporary design. The brand crafts watches from durable materials built to last - and this 18989/1 from the Chrono collection is a perfect example. It features an elegant round stainless steel case that's made for the long haul. The stunning gray tone, highlighted by polished and brushed finishes, delivers both comfort and style throughout the day. With a diameter of 41 mm and a thickness of 10.60 mm, it's perfectly proportioned for a man's wrist. A mineral crystal protects the dial, while two pushers and a crown at 3 o'clock on the right side give you easy control of all central functions. Finally, the case back provides water resistance of 5 ATM.

The Dial

Clean and understated, this dial delivers a clear, detailed read of the time. The crisp white color contrasts beautifully with the rest of the watch, while the sunray finish adds unmistakable charm. A black minute track runs along the edge, complemented by gray baton indexes for easy hour reading. For added functionality, three sub-dials sit at 3, 6, and 9 o'clock, displaying 24-hour, 60-second, and 30-minute functions respectively. The two gray hands are coated in a luminescent material and display the hours and minutes, while a slender seconds hand with a red tip tracks the chronograph seconds. The brand's name and logo appear at 12 o'clock, with the water resistance rating noted at 6 o'clock.

The Movement

This timepiece runs on a Japanese quartz movement, prized by watchmakers for its reliable and efficient timekeeping. Specifically, it uses the JS20 caliber by Miyota. The mechanism is powered by a Sr621sw battery, delivering a battery life of 3 years.

The Strap

A sleek gray strap rounds out this model with a clean, refined touch. It features 5 rows of brushed and polished links that give it a classic, polished look. Crafted from stainless steel, it's built for long-term wear that stays as sharp as day one. It has a lug width of 20.95 mm and is fitted with a deployment clasp.

Water Resistance

This model offers water resistance of 5 atmospheres, or 50 m. It's designed to be a showstopper - but that doesn't mean it can't handle a little real life. You can wear it in the shower, though the Ocarat team recommends setting it on the edge of the sink to preserve its finish and integrity over time. Swimming and scuba diving are not recommended, as water exposure beyond the stated rating could cause damage and lead to costly repairs.
