The Watch

Founded in 1980, Lotus has carved out a strong presence in the world of contemporary watchmaking. The brand integrates bold design elements and practical features into its timepieces, delighting watch enthusiasts everywhere. Its models are built from robust materials and span a wide range of styles - from classic to sport - combining performance with aesthetics. Today, the brand presents the Automatic Watch 18996/3, a versatile companion for every occasion. It features a case in brushed and polished stainless steel for a refined, well-finished look. Sturdy and round, it measures 39 mm in diameter - a perfect fit for any wrist. Fitted with a sapphire crystal to protect the dial from shocks and a silver-tone crown at 3 o'clock, its textured grip makes it easy to adjust the central functions. Finally, the screwed case back ensures water resistance of 10 ATM, and its transparent display lets you admire the movement within.

The Dial

This dial is thoughtfully designed for smooth and accurate timekeeping. It features a captivating green base enhanced by a sunray finish that gives it a radiant glow. At its center, three gray hands ensure precise time reading. The slender seconds hand tracks the seconds, while the hour and minute hands point to the minutes and hours. The two main hands feature a luminescent treatment for optimal legibility in any condition. Together, they sweep over geometric hour markers also coated with the same luminescent treatment, as well as the minute railroad track along the edge. For added functionality, a date window with a white background and a cyclops magnifier joins them at 3 o'clock. The crystal type is noted at the bottom, while opposite, just beneath 12 o'clock, the brand places its logo, name, and movement type as its signature.

The Movement

At the heart of this watch beats a Miyota 8215 automatic movement. Vibration-resistant, it drives the hands and date display with precision. Equipped with 21 jewels to minimize friction, it beats at an oscillation frequency of 21,600 alt/h. This reliable Japanese caliber promises a power reserve of 42 hours.

The Bracelet

This elegant bracelet is sure to enhance your style. Crafted in stainless steel, it brings a versatile gray tone to the wrist. Its brushed and polished links add a touch of sophistication to any occasion. Durable and comfortable for everyday wear, it fastens easily with a deployment clasp. The lug width is 18 mm.

Water Resistance

This model offers a water resistance of 10 atmospheres, or 100 meters - making it a genuinely water-resistant timepiece. From puddles to the pool, this watch is ready to join you in the water without complaint. Shower, bath, and sporty swim sessions? No problem. That said, our Ocarat watch experts want to be clear: this model, while water-resistant, is not suited for diving (professional or recreational) and is sensitive to high-pressure cleaning equipment. We also recommend keeping the crown and any pushers out of operation while the watch is submerged.
