Lee Cooper LC08256.590 Supermetal Watch Dark Blue Dial Silver Band

The Lee Cooper LC08256.590 Supermetal Watch is a men's wristwatch with a 43mm supermetal case, a dark blue round dial and a silver metal band. It suits men who want one watch for office days, commutes and evenings, with a two-tone finish that reads clearly and a multifunction movement.

The case and band use supermetal alloy, a material the maker says is harder than ordinary brass or steel, so the silver and rose gold plating should hold its brightness longer. Mineral glass covers the dial and stands up to keys or desk edges better than acrylic. A multifunction quartz movement runs the hour, minute and second hands plus day, date and 24-hour sub-dials. The 5 ATM rating covers hand-washing, rain and a brief plunge, while a deployment clasp lets you fasten the silver bracelet with one hand.

Key features and benefits of the Lee Cooper LC08256.590 Supermetal Watch

• Supermetal alloy case: The 43mm case is made from a supermetal alloy that the maker rates as harder than ordinary brass or steel. That extra hardness helps the finish stay bright through daily desk and commute use.
• Silver and rose gold plating: The case carries a two-tone silver and rose gold finish. It lets the watch sit with silver jewellery or gold cufflinks without looking out of place.
• 43mm case diameter: The case measures 43mm across, a mid-size that should suit most men's wrists. It gives a clear view of the dial while still slipping under a shirt cuff.
• Dark blue round dial: The dial is round and dark blue, with silver-tone hands and markers for contrast. It is easy to read at a glance and pairs with navy, grey or black business clothes.
• Silver metal band: The bracelet is silver in colour and uses the same supermetal alloy as the case. The colour match keeps the watch looking consistent from case to clasp.
• Deployment clasp: A deployment clasp opens and closes the bracelet with one hand. It helps you put the watch on quickly and keeps the band secure on the wrist.
• Mineral glass: Mineral glass protects the dial and resists scratches from keys or desk edges better than acrylic. It is not sapphire, so a sharp knock can still chip it.
• Multifunction quartz movement: The movement drives hour, minute and second hands plus day, date and 24-hour sub-dials. You can check the day and date without reaching for your phone.
• 5 ATM water resistance: A 5 ATM rating means the watch handles hand-washing, rain and showering. It is not made for swimming laps or diving.
• Two-year international warranty: The watch comes with a two-year international warranty that covers manufacturing defects in the movement and case. Battery changes and strap wear are not included.

Who the men's watch is for

The Lee Cooper LC08256.590 Supermetal Watch is aimed at men who want one watch to cover work and social plans without changing straps. The two-tone case and dark blue dial give it enough presence for dinner or a celebration, yet the silver bracelet and restrained 43mm size keep it suitable for an office dress code. It also works as a gift for someone who needs a branded everyday watch with calendar functions and a water rating that copes with wet weather.

• Business meetings where a two-tone case needs to match silver or gold accessories.
• Daily commuting when you want the day and date on the dial without checking a phone.
• Travel to humid places or rainy weather, thanks to the 5 ATM rating.
• Evening events that call for a dressier watch than a plain sports model.
• A gift for a man who needs one reliable watch for work and weekends.

Less suitable if: you swim laps or dive, because 5 ATM does not cover sustained water pressure.

Using and caring for the Lee Cooper LC08256.590 Supermetal Watch

Rinse the Lee Cooper LC08256.590 Supermetal Watch with fresh water after contact with salt water or heavy sweat, then dry it with a soft cloth. Press the crown in fully before the watch meets water. Clean the bracelet with a soft brush and mild soapy water, and keep the watch away from speakers or phone magnets, which can affect quartz timing. Have the battery changed by a qualified watchmaker so the water-resistance seals are not disturbed.

• Wipe the case and glass with a microfiber cloth each day to remove skin oils.
• Store the watch flat in a box or pouch so the bracelet does not pick up scratches.
• Ask a watchmaker to check the water-resistance seals every 12 to 18 months if you wear the watch in humid conditions.
• Adjust the bracelet links for a close fit so the case back stays in contact with your wrist.

How to choose the right men's watch

When you choose a men's watch, start with case size, water rating, movement and band material. The Lee Cooper LC08256.590 has a 43mm case, which should suit wrists around 17cm to 20cm; a smaller wrist may prefer a case below 40mm. Its 5 ATM rating covers rain and hand-washing, while swimming needs a higher rating. The multifunction quartz movement gives day, date and 24-hour readouts without winding. The supermetal bracelet is harder than ordinary brass or steel and is plated in silver and rose gold.

Frequently asked questions

What is the case made of?

The case is made from a supermetal alloy with silver and rose gold plating. The maker states that this alloy is harder than ordinary brass or steel, which helps the finish resist wear.

How large is the watch?

The case measures 43mm across, not counting the crown. It wears as a mid-size men's watch on most wrists.

Can I swim with this watch?

No. The 5 ATM rating protects against splashes, rain and brief immersion, but it does not cover sustained swimming or diving.

What does the multifunction movement show?

The multifunction quartz movement shows hour, minute and second hands plus day, date and a 24-hour sub-dial. That keeps calendar information on the dial.

Is the bracelet adjustable?

Yes, the metal bracelet has removable links. A watchmaker or jeweller can size it to your wrist.

Does the warranty cover the battery?

The two-year international warranty covers manufacturing defects in the movement and case. Battery replacement is routine maintenance and is not covered.

What glass is used on the dial?

Mineral glass is used over the dial. It is more scratch-resistant than acrylic but less resistant than sapphire crystal.

Will the two-tone plating fade?

Supermetal holds plating better than base metals, but any plated finish can wear over years at high-contact points such as the clasp and case edges.
