My Lorus Watch Collection Continues

Last week we covered a recently rediscovered Lorus watch.  But I have two in my collection.  Here is the other vintage Lorus watch that I own.  This one is very minimalist in it's approach, but offers a sleek metallic look in a compact package.

This Lorus is almost space-age looking and it makes for a great bang around watch.  The one featured below is unusual because it has a face that changes color from blue to silver to green.

My Long Lost Lorus Watch: Vintage or Old?

When you have as many watches as I do, you have to rotate your collection around so that you have new things to wear.  I recently turned up this really cool old Lorus Sports watch that is great for banging around on the weekends.  I've probably had this Lorus watch for twenty years.  I'm not sure if it's vintage or old.  I'm not even sure if I'm vintage or old.  But, it is a cool casual watch.

Lorus Sports Watch - Corvette Not Included

This watch uses luminous materials nicely to make it easy to tell time at night.  It also has a small case size by today's standards.  After approximately twenty years of ownership, my Lorus runs strong.  I just have to replace a battery every couple of year.

Of course, that reliability is no surprise.  Lorus is a Seiko watch brand sold by their dealer networks in Europe, Canada, South Africa, Fiji, and Oceania.  So, if you are American, you aren't likely to see many Lorus watches.

Alas poor Lorus!

A Look at a Lorus Sports Watch

I knew this watch.  I put a new strap on it and, now, I'm wearing it again.  It's a little retro and a lot of no nonsense in a watch.  Plus, it's a Seiko brand.

Too bad they don't market them here in the United States.  It's another one from the back of my watch drawer.
