RL423AX9G Lorus Classic Automatic Men's Watch

A watch with an excellent movement that’s a pleasure to wear. That’s why this is the second Lorus Automatic I’ve owned. It’s a shame the brand is moving away from automatic watches.

A watch with a very good movement that is great to wear. That's why it's the second Lorus Automatic I have. It's a pity that the brand is moving away from vending machines.

Even as a little boy, I wore a watch. It was an electronic watch, on a bracelet. Such was the fashion then and such models were very popular. Later, as the pockets of Poles took over cell phones, and then smartphones, I came to the conclusion that the watch is an unnecessary gadget. After all, the timing function is in the "cell". And so it stayed for several years. However, years later I changed my mind. I believe that a watch can be an elegant accessory to your clothes, and at the same time it will always allow you to quickly control the time. This is how the idea of buying a watch was born in my head. The general pattern was already established: a delicate, not too large case on a leather strap. The question was whether to choose a watch with an automatic movement or not. While intensely searching for a suitable model, one of them caught my attention in particular. This is the choice of the Lorus Classic Automatic RL423AX9G. The watch has a Seiko Y676-X021 automatic movement. The Seiko Group is a proven watch manufacturer that has been on the market for years, so you can rest assured about the quality of the movement. After a few weeks of use, I am satisfied with its performance. The slightly audible ticking is nice to the ear. The date display is a useful addition, although I must admit that for me it was not a factor determining the choice of this model. Undoubtedly, the great advantage of the watch is its appearance. It fits perfectly with a suit as well as with more casual styling. The shape of the case and its size - 42 mm - make this model look good even on a slim wrist. A perfectly polished metallic case and silver hands harmonize perfectly with the black leather strap and black textured dial. The only drawback at the beginning of use was the hard belt. However, after a dozen or so days, the user ceases to feel this discomfort. To sum up, the Lorus Classic Automatic RL423AX9G is an eye-catcher for people who like to be distinguished by good taste. It can be an interesting proposition for people starting their adventure with an automatic watch, introducing them to this segment of timers. It is an excellent choice for men who appreciate the precision of workmanship combined with an elegant appearance.
