Lee Cooper LC08196.390 Dark Blue Dial Silver Metal Men's Watch

The Lee Cooper LC08196.390 is a men's metal watch with a dark blue dial, a 40 mm round case and a matching silver-toned band. It suits men who want one dependable timepiece for the office and for weekends, and its 5 ATM water resistance covers everyday splashes.

The watch runs on a quartz date movement, so it keeps time without winding and shows the date in a window on the dial. Super metal forms the case, finished with silver plating for a bright, polished look, and the metal band matches it in colour and material. Mineral glass covers the dark blue dial and resists scratches better than acrylic. At 40 mm across and round in shape, the Lee Cooper men's metal watch sits comfortably on most wrists and slides under a shirt cuff.

Key features and benefits of the Lee Cooper LC08196.390

• Quartz date movement: The movement is battery powered and drives a date display as well as the hands. You get steady timekeeping without winding the crown each morning.
• 40 mm case size: The case measures 40 millimetres across, a middle-of-the-road size that suits most wrists. It looks balanced on both slender and broader arms rather than oversized or small.
• Round case shape: The classic round profile works in formal and casual settings. It sits flat against the wrist and passes easily beneath a buttoned cuff.
• Super metal case with silver plating: The case is built from a durable alloy and coated in silver plating. That gives a bright, polished surface that stands up to daily contact with desks, sleeves and bags.
• Silver metal band: The bracelet matches the case in colour and material for a consistent look. Links can be removed to adjust the fit, and the metal holds its shape over time.
• Dark blue dial: The deep blue face contrasts clearly with the silver hands and hour markers. It adds a little colour to a plain outfit while staying easy to read.
• Mineral glass: Hardened mineral glass protects the dial and resists scratches better than acrylic. It shields the face from everyday knocks at work or on the move.
• 5 ATM water resistance: The watch is rated to 5 ATM, which covers pressure equal to 50 metres of static water. Hand washing, rain and brief splashes are fine, but it is not built for swimming.

Who the Men's Watch is for

The Lee Cooper LC08196.390 suits men who prefer to wear a single watch through the working week and into the evening. The silver metal finish and dark blue dial read as smart without being flashy, so the same watch pairs with a shirt and tie or a polo shirt. Because the case is 40 mm and the profile is round, it wears comfortably on most wrist sizes, and the mineral glass and metal band take ordinary knocks in their stride.

• Office days where a polished metal watch finishes off a formal look.
• Daily commutes and errands where a splash-resistant watch adds peace of mind.
• Evening meals and social events where the dark blue dial adds quiet colour.
• Short trips and weekends where a metal band and mineral glass handle rough handling.

Less suitable if: you swim, snorkel or dive regularly, since 5 ATM does not cover sustained water pressure.

Using and caring for the Lee Cooper LC08196.390

Metal and mineral glass are easy to look after. Wipe the case and bracelet with a soft, damp cloth to lift sweat and dust, then dry them with a dry cloth so the silver plating keeps its shine. Keep the watch away from sharp temperature swings, which can disturb the quartz movement, and rinse off salt water or chlorine with fresh water before drying. Battery changes are best done at a watch service point so the case back is sealed again properly.

• Clean the bracelet once a week with a microfibre cloth to keep the silver finish bright.
• Set the date with the crown in its first position, and avoid changing it between 9 PM and 3 AM when the date gears are engaged.
• Store the watch in a dry place when you will not wear it for a long stretch.
• Have the seals checked by a watchmaker every two years to keep the 5 ATM rating intact.

How to choose the right Men's Watch

Four things decide whether a metal watch will suit you: case size, case and band material, water resistance and dial colour. This Lee Cooper model uses a 40 mm case, which sits mid-range and fits most wrists. Its super metal case and band carry silver plating, so they hold a polished look with basic wiping. The 5 ATM rating covers splashes and rain but not swimming, and the dark blue dial keeps the watch smart enough for work and relaxed enough for weekends. If you need a bigger presence or regular pool use, look at larger cases and higher water-resistance ratings instead.

Frequently asked questions

What is the Lee Cooper LC08196.390 made of?

The case and band are made from super metal with a silver plating finish. The dial is dark blue and the crystal is mineral glass.

What size is the case on this watch?

The round case measures 40 millimetres in diameter. That size sits comfortably on average wrists and slips under a shirt cuff.

Is the Lee Cooper LC08196.390 suitable for swimming?

No. The 5 ATM rating covers hand washing, rain and brief splashes only, so take the watch off before swimming or diving.

How do I set the date on the Lee Cooper LC08196.390?

Pull the crown to the first click and turn it until the correct date shows. Keep date changes away from the 9 PM to 3 AM window to protect the date mechanism.

What movement does the watch use?

It uses a quartz date movement, which is battery powered and needs no winding. The date appears in a window on the dark blue dial.

Can the metal band be adjusted?

Yes, the bracelet is built from links, so a jeweller or watch repairer can remove or add links to fit your wrist. A snug fit keeps the case from turning on the arm.

How does a metal band compare with a leather strap?

Metal is more durable and easier to wipe clean than leather, and it handles splashes better. It can feel heavier on the wrist and usually needs link adjustment for the right fit.

Who is this watch best suited for?

Men who want one silver metal watch for office wear, weekends and light outdoor activity. The dark blue dial and 40 mm case make it easy to wear with both formal and casual clothes.
