Lee Cooper LC08268.251 Men's Black Dial Leather Strap Watch

The Lee Cooper LC08268.251 is a men's analog watch with a black dial and black leather strap, built for everyday wear and occasional formal moments. Its quartz movement keeps time reliably with little upkeep, and the 5 ATM water resistance handles splashes and brief immersion.

The Super Metal case pairs with mineral glass to protect the dial from scratches, while luminous hands and markers make the face readable in low light. A standard clasp secures the leather strap, and the 5 ATM rating means the watch copes with rain or hand‑washing without worry. This men's leather strap watch delivers practical features in a clean, versatile design.

Key features and benefits of the Lee Cooper LC08268.251

• Quartz movement: The battery‑powered mechanism keeps accurate time without winding. It means you set it once and it runs for months with minimal attention.
• Black dial with luminous hands and markers: The dark face contrasts with glowing indicators for easy reading at night. You can check the time in a dim restaurant or cinema without a phone light.
• Mineral glass: Hardened glass covers the dial to resist scratches from keys or desk edges. It keeps the face looking clear through daily knocks.
• 5 ATM water resistance: The case withstands pressure equal to 50 metres of still water. Splashes, rain and brief submersion while washing hands are safe, but swimming or diving is not recommended.
• Black leather strap with standard clasp: Genuine leather wraps the wrist comfortably and fastens with a simple pin buckle. The strap ages naturally and can be swapped for a different look.
• Super Metal case: The alloy case provides a solid, lightweight housing for the movement. It resists corrosion and keeps the watch feeling light on the wrist all day.

Who the men's watch is for

The Lee Cooper LC08268.251 suits men who want a single watch that moves between office, weekend and evening without looking out of place. The black dial and leather strap keep it understated enough for a suit but relaxed enough for jeans.

• Daily commute and desk work where a slim, readable watch stays comfortable.
• Business meetings or dinners where a black leather strap matches dress shoes.
• Weekend errands or travel where 5 ATM water resistance handles rain or hand‑washing.
• Gifting for birthdays or graduations when a branded, warrantied timepiece feels thoughtful.

Less suitable if: you need a watch for swimming, diving or high‑impact sports, because 5 ATM only covers splashes and brief immersion.

Men's watch specifications

Using and caring for the Lee Cooper LC08268.251

The quartz movement runs on a single battery that typically lasts two to three years; have a watchmaker replace it to keep the seal intact. Clean the Super Metal case and mineral glass with a soft, damp cloth, and avoid soaking the leather strap.

• Wipe the case and glass weekly with a microfibre cloth to remove skin oils and dust.
• Keep the leather strap dry; if it gets wet, pat it dry and let it air‑dry away from direct heat.
• Do not press the crown or buttons while the watch is wet, to preserve the 5 ATM seal.
• Store the watch flat in a box or pouch to prevent the strap from creasing and the glass from scratching.
• Schedule a battery change and pressure test every two years to maintain water resistance.

How to choose the right men's watch

When picking a daily watch, consider movement type, case size, strap material and water rating. The Lee Cooper LC08268.251 uses a quartz movement for low‑maintenance accuracy, a Super Metal case that measures a standard men's diameter, a black leather strap that fits wrists from roughly 16 to 21 cm, and 5 ATM water resistance for everyday splash protection. If you prefer a metal bracelet, automatic movement or 10 ATM rating for swimming, you would look at different models.

The case is Super Metal alloy, the crystal is mineral glass, and the strap is genuine black leather with a standard pin buckle.

How big is the watch case?

The supplier data does not list case diameter or thickness; it is a standard men's size that fits most wrists comfortably.

Is the watch suitable for swimming?

No. The 5 ATM rating protects against splashes, rain and brief immersion such as hand‑washing, but not swimming or diving.

Does the watch have a date window?

The product data does not mention a date complication; the dial shows hours, minutes and seconds with luminous hands and markers.

Can the leather strap be replaced?

Yes, the strap uses standard spring bars so any compatible leather, NATO or rubber strap of the same lug width can be fitted.

What warranty comes with the watch?

Lee Cooper provides a 2‑year warranty covering manufacturing defects in the movement, case and crystal.

How do I set the time?

Pull the crown out to the time‑setting position, turn to adjust the hands, then push the crown back in to restart the quartz movement.

Is the watch face readable in the dark?

Yes, the hands and hour markers are luminous, so they glow after exposure to light and remain visible in low‑light conditions.
