I've worn the Lorus Sport Lumibrite regularly for what must be at least 10 years now. I'm an adventure motorcyclist and it has suffered the vibration of on and off-road touring through over 20 countries from -25c to +50c. I don't recall ever changing the battery, the Lumibritie is amazing for a watch in this price bracket and the slim profile fits perfectly under the cuff of my motorcycle gloves. I am a watchmaker and collector. I have a choice of many more expensive watches but this one ticks all the boxes. If it ever broke I'd buy another one in an instant. The strap is now a little frayed but is exceptionally comfortable and still going strong. Great review. Thank you.

@jonathanblock2542 3 года назад

Ben, these are stellar finds! I'm a year late to the party here. Now in the market for a field watch. These both hit so many requirements for me and for the price is insane. I just bought the Lumibrite model for £30 on Argos UK as I'm unable to find the Titanium anywhere. I look forward to picking that up when it becomes available. Something I can beat around with with good water resistance where the second hand makes good effort to hit the markers. I have watches I am terrified of scratching and always so nervous when wearing that actually sucks something out of the experience. I look forward to scratching this Lumibrite up and telling a story.

I bought one last year and recommend it. The strap for me was terrible because it was so stiff and itchy. That was remedied by getting other straps to change the look and comfort factor. The lume is not long lasting if that is a factor and is not plentiful on the slim minutes and hour hands.

@mcalax5901 4 года назад

Why choose? Why pay £100 combined for two field watches that are almost identical. For another £150 you get a Hamilton Khaki. For another £120 you could get one of the new Seiko 5 range. There is a tipping point where buying too many low cost watches becomes a false economy. Because you could have used the combined cost to purchase something higher end and iconic. Have one or two low cost watches in your collection, but don’t over do it. Get one of these and get a Casio A158W.

@grahampinnock309 4 года назад

I was considering buying both but got the titanium version for a better price than the steel. I would like the option of a full lume dial on the titanium because it is poor on the hands. Does the full lume dial stay bright for long? Let us know here if the dial swap was successful. I'm sure there are many that want to know.

@acebone2 3 года назад

I have the lumibrite and I just loove it. Actually you do not have to be an adventurer to appreciate the lume of the dial, you can just be the sort of person who stays up way too late - hence my preference. I really like the green tint to the creamcolor, so for me that's just perfect, trick is to use either a more green strap, or some more vivid colors on the strap (looks great with black strap with an orange stripe for instance) - it's a slim watch, so a NATO-strap works just great. I can't compare it to it's titanium-sister, since I don't have one nearby, but looking at Bens video here, I can tell that the greater contrast between hands and dial on the lumibrite, will make it much easier for me to read at a glance. I have slender wrists, but I'd still like the diameter to be juuust a little larger - 40mm or so, but it's not a dealbreaker. It's a great watch: you put it on, forget you're wearing it, and get a pleasant surprise each time you need to tell the time :)

If you compare it to 5be Hamilton khaki they share similar design. All together a good shout from Ben !

Mine is an older plated brass case, but looks identical to the current model.

Why would anyone want a mechanical field watch though? You drop them and they need repairing. Mechanical watches haven’t been used in the field since quart and Casio came along. Nice to look at but not fit for purpose. And at the very least you would need a self wnd. Not just an automatic. They stop too often to be of any use in the field.

Seiko's sub companies use this case to have all kinds of combos in SS, Ti, Quartz, Solar, etc etc... Check out Alba for instance.

Enjoyed your excellent review, Ben. I bought a couple of the cheaper stainless steel version with the insanely bright full dial Lumibrite lume, which lasts all night. I've put a grey NATO G10 on one and a mat finish shark mesh bracelet on the other to give it a slightly dressier look. The steel version has the benefit of drilled lugs and a day/date feature, as well as the incredible lume - the tungsten version is also great and I've got one on the way. I think it will look smart on a decent Bond G10 NATO, with mat SS fittings. Both watches are amazing value for money and I'd slot both watches into the ice-cool category.

@@grahampinnock309 What you'll find is that the Lumibright works best (if it has charged) walking out of the office to your car or to catch the train. It's, initially, much blighter than the Titanium. But, if you're in total darkness, say several hours later, then the Titanium version is just about readable, while the Lumibright version is completely unreadable. Neither are particularly good (the push-button lighting of Timex is much better), but for my use the Titanium has the slight edge. If I wake up at night, I can (only just) read the time on the Titanium. Hope this helps.

I’ve owned both. I lost the Titanium and sorely miss it. Having owned it for many years and it had gone through all with me. Its crystal was rather scuffed from all my adventurers but it maintained it accuracy throughout. Eventually I bought a Lumibrite, simply because I couldn’t find another Titanium for sale. But managed to smash the crystal less than 8mths. later, (don’t get hit by a tree is my advice). After effectively losing both and after a couple of months of looking, I eventually bought another Lumibrite. Hoping I don’t get hit by another tree anytime soon. As of 2022 - the Lumibrite has been discontinued. I think the Titanium has too.

Very true, I have the pulsar now, and its brilliant! Strange none of the youtubers picked this model up so far, oh and btw, the titanium lorus is perfect as well.

I have the Titanium watch and it is a very good watch. I purchased it in August 2020 for about $50 and it was hard to find then. I ended up finding it in Croatia I believe.

Hello I like your blog! I'm looking for a Field Watch in bigger size. Do you know a filed watch in 46mm with a 22mm armband?

Does anyone know where to get a sapphire crystal for the lumibrite?

@TomFoolery9001 2 месяца назад

I want the combination of the two! I want the titanium with the luma bright face. Anybody know if you can swap the movement and face from one to the other?

@SidBonkers51 3 года назад

Love both but own the SS Lumibrite, that said I think I prefer the cleaner face of the Titanium, wonder if I can still find one?

I'm looking for a durable, small, outdoor watch for walking and camping that is not expensive so I don't need to worry if it gets smashed. The lumibrite version looks ideal

@markharwood7573 Год назад

Clear, helpful video. Thanks for that. Lorus is a sound budget brand.

@femkefennema5710 2 года назад

I consider buying the green one after having the lumibright one second hand. But it seems like no one bought the green one, only stock images of that one! Maybe with a brown strap 😍

@roycropper420 Год назад

Can you shed any light on the day wheel? i bought one of these watches a couple of days ago but soon returned it as it had both English and a foreign language on the day wheel (which really confused me when trying to set it up) do you know anything about that? do you know anymore watches with the same full luminous dial lume of the stainless steel model? I only bought it for the full face lume on the dial and canvas strap however I do prefer the titanium case for its case but with the lume of the stainless steel model, the stainless has better one peice strap. Do you know which model has the day & date just above the 6 o’clock number ? Thanks

I have both of these watches in my collection but also the green dialled version of the titanium Lorus. All great watches but the better quality you can't go wrong with the two titanium versions.

@diamondbed86 4 года назад

Nice reviews. I am a sucker for the Lumbrite one.

@ShadyNaufal 4 года назад

These watches sure looks awesome, it will be better if you could make a comparison between this one and the timex expedition scout👌

Hi I had the stainless steel one for the last 15 years as a Firefighter and it performed without fault. Avaliable at Argos £29.99.

Please review the lorus rs935dx9. Its $40USD and looks to be a field watch with a rotating bezel. Id be interested in checking it out as i am comparing it to the lorus titanium field watch.

@gabrielmaria2762 9 месяцев назад

Eyeing the Lumibrite exactly for the "bad print" on the dial. To me it looks a little more "vintage", kind of like a patina... goes really well with the black painted hands and small case/dial diam. Also full lume dials are rare. would definetly polish away the coating tho. Swapping the dials and building a titanium full lume watch seems a pretty good idea too!

@GECX-mj4vc 2 месяца назад

I would like to color-fill the accents on the titanium model. I think black accent marks would look very nice with a black and gray stripped nato.

@felixr126 3 года назад

For me the Lumibrite just makes the difference, for a weekend outside camping that is the perfect companion.

Where can I get the Lorus RXD425L8 watch in the U.S.?

@syedumerahmed9514 Год назад

Very nice video 👍

@LeClerc48 3 месяца назад

Ive got both of these, the only difference with my lumibrite is that after i had had it for about five years the plating started to wear off and underneath it is brass is this an odd one or were the early ones brass or is it Gold@

@demej00 Год назад

I have the Lorus Sport, love it muchly. It is light too, has must have day/date and 100meters and Lumbrite. So wish it had titanium option with sapphire crystal.

@Tapo3x 7 месяцев назад

What is the material /chemical which is lighting in the dark ?

@stevelewis7263 2 года назад

How about reviewing the Sekonda 1506 Pilot which is very similar to the Lumbrite Sport

@MrPleers 4 года назад

The titanium one has a much cleaner dial. And I like the look of the hands more. So it would be my number one pick.

@andreaskuhn7619 3 года назад

it would be nice if you could include the wide and the lengt of the Wristband. Something like "Its a 22mm, and it will fit your wrist from xy cm to xy com" PS: I like the Titanium better too But I would love to have it with the other movement and dial, but withe the hands of the titanium one.
