Lee Cooper LC08269.140 Men's Gold Supermetal Watch

The Lee Cooper LC08269.140 is a men's gold supermetal watch with a square dark brown dial, gold-plated case and matching gold bracelet. It suits men who want a dress watch for work and evenings, and its 5 ATM water resistance covers everyday splashes without needing to be removed.

The rectangular case measures 38.3 by 46 millimetres, a mid-size profile that sits neatly under a shirt cuff. Supermetal, the alloy used for the case, is lighter than stainless steel while staying rigid enough to hold its shape. Mineral glass protects the dial, and a quartz date movement shows the date at three o'clock. The integrated bracelet closes with a deployment clasp, so the watch stays centred on the wrist. Rated at 5 ATM, the Lee Cooper LC08269.140 handles rain, hand washing, showering and surface swimming, but not diving.

Key features and benefits of the Lee Cooper LC08269.140

• Supermetal case with gold plating: The case is made from a supermetal alloy and finished with gold plating. That combination gives a warm gold tone and helps the surface resist tarnish through normal daily wear.
• Square dark brown dial: The dial is square and dark brown, with gold-tone hands and markers. A square face gives the watch a dressier look than a round dial and makes the time easy to read at a glance.
• Quartz date movement: A battery-powered quartz movement drives the hands and the date window at three o'clock. Quartz timing is accurate and needs little attention apart from a battery change every few years.
• Mineral glass crystal: Mineral glass, a hardened glass, covers the dial. It resists everyday scratches better than acrylic, though a sharp impact can still chip it.
• Gold-tone metal bracelet: The integrated bracelet matches the case in gold tone. Metal bracelets are durable, and links can be removed so the fit can be adjusted by a watchmaker or jeweller.
• 5 ATM water resistance: The watch is rated at 5 ATM, about 50 metres of water pressure. That covers rain, hand washing, showering and surface swimming, but not diving or high-speed water sports.
• 38.3 by 46 millimetre case dimensions: The rectangular case measures 38.3 millimetres across and 46 millimetres from lug to lug, the span where the bracelet attaches. This mid-size shape suits most men's wrists without looking oversized or too small.
• Deployment clasp: The bracelet uses a folding deployment clasp that locks in two places. It opens and closes easily and helps keep the watch centred on your wrist.
• Two-year international warranty: Lee Cooper provides a two-year international warranty. It covers manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship under normal use.
• Supermetal construction: The supermetal alloy is lighter than stainless steel yet rigid enough to hold its shape. Less weight on the wrist can make all-day wear more comfortable.

Who the men's watch is for

The Lee Cooper LC08269.140 suits men who want a gold-tone dress watch that can move from the office to an evening out. Its square dark brown dial and gold bracelet pair well with shirts, blazers and tailored trousers. The 5 ATM rating means it can stay on for hand washing or a sudden shower. It is a good choice for a single watch worn most days, and for marking a graduation, promotion or anniversary.

• Office days when a gold watch needs to sit alongside business attire
• Dinners, receptions and theatre evenings where a dress watch fits the occasion
• Daily wear for men who prefer one watch that works from desk to dinner
• Gifts for graduations, promotions or anniversaries
• Travel where humidity, splashes and hotel pool use are part of the trip

Less suitable if: you need a watch for scuba diving, sailing or high-impact sports, because 5 ATM does not cover those pressures.

Using and caring for the Lee Cooper LC08269.140

Set the time by pulling the crown to the second position, and set the date in the first position. Avoid changing the date between 9 PM and 3 AM, when the mechanism is engaged.

• Pull the crown out one click for the date and two clicks for the time.
• Rinse off salt water or chlorine with fresh water, then dry with a soft cloth.
• Have a watchmaker replace the battery so the water resistance seals are checked.
• Store the watch in a dry place away from strong magnets when it is not worn for long periods.
• Check the deployment clasp is closed each time you put the watch on.

How to choose the right men's watch

When you choose a men's dress watch, the main factors are case size, metal tone, water resistance and bracelet type. The Lee Cooper LC08269.140 has a 38.3 x 46 mm rectangular case, so it suits average to larger wrists. Its gold-plated supermetal case and matching gold bracelet give a consistent warm tone without a strap change. At 5 ATM, it is built for everyday wet conditions rather than diving. The square dark brown dial and quartz date movement keep the look distinctive and the upkeep low.
