Lee Cooper LC08269.230 Supermetal Gents Watch Silver Gold 38x46mm

The Lee Cooper LC08269.230 is a gents supermetal watch with a two-tone silver and gold finish. Its square 38 by 46 millimetre case and metal bracelet suit men who want a durable everyday timepiece with a dressier look.

This gents supermetal watch runs on a date movement and protects the silver dial with mineral glass. The supermetal case carries a silver and gold plating that resists daily wear, while the matching metal band secures with a deployment clasp. Water resistance rated at 5 ATM handles splashes and brief immersion, making the watch practical for office and weekend use.

Key features and benefits of the Lee Cooper LC08269.230

• Case material: Supermetal: The case is crafted from a proprietary supermetal alloy that offers higher scratch resistance than standard stainless steel. This means the watch keeps its polished look longer through daily contact with desks, door frames and cuffs.
• Case plating: Silver and gold two-tone: A dual-tone ion plating covers the case in alternating silver and gold hues. The finish adds a formal accent that pairs with both business shirts and smart-casual outfits without needing a separate dress watch.
• Case size: 38.3 by 46 millimetres square: The rectangular case measures 38.3 millimetres across and 46 millimetres top to bottom. This mid-size profile sits comfortably on most wrists while remaining visible enough to read the time at a glance.
• Dial: Square silver with date window: A silver sunburst dial carries applied indices and a date aperture at three o'clock. The clean layout ensures legibility in bright office lighting and low evening light alike.
• Band: Metal bracelet silver and gold: The integrated bracelet matches the case plating and uses a deployment clasp with push-button release. Metal links adjust easily with a link-removal tool, giving a secure fit that does not stretch or fade like leather.
• Glass: Mineral crystal: Hardened mineral glass covers the dial and resists everyday knocks and surface scratches. It is more shatter-resistant than acrylic and less costly to replace than sapphire if damaged.
• Water resistance: 5 ATM: The case withstands pressure equivalent to 50 metres of static water. You can wash hands, get caught in rain or rinse the watch under a tap, but it is not suited for swimming or diving.
• Movement: Date function: A quartz calibre drives the hours, minutes, seconds and date. Battery changes are typically needed every two to three years, and the date advances automatically at midnight.
• Warranty: Two year international: The manufacturer provides a two-year warranty valid across authorised service centres worldwide. This covers defects in materials and workmanship, giving peace of mind for the first ownership period.

Who the gents watch is for

The Lee Cooper LC08269.230 suits men who want a single watch that transitions from weekday meetings to weekend gatherings. Its two-tone metal bracelet and square dial make it a natural partner for shirts, polo tops or a lightweight blazer, while the 5 ATM rating handles everyday moisture without worry.

• Office professionals needing a polished accessory that matches silver and gold jewellery or cufflinks.
• Commuters who value a tough mineral glass and supermetal case that shrug off knocks in crowded transport.
• Weekend wearers who want a watch they can rinse off after outdoor errands or light sport.
• Gift buyers looking for a branded timepiece with a two-year warranty and a versatile colour scheme.

Less suitable if: you plan to swim laps, dive or expose the watch to sustained water pressure beyond splashes, as 5 ATM does not cover those activities.

Using and caring for the Lee Cooper LC08269.230

The supermetal case and mineral glass tolerate daily wear, but a few habits extend the watch's appearance and function. Rinse the bracelet with fresh water after exposure to salt or chlorinated water, then dry with a soft cloth. Avoid strong magnets, which can affect quartz accuracy, and store the watch flat when not worn to prevent bracelet kinks.

• Wipe the case and bracelet weekly with a microfibre cloth to remove skin oils that can dull the two-tone plating.
• Have a jeweller pressure-test the seals every 12 to 18 months if the watch is frequently wet, to maintain the 5 ATM rating.
• Replace the battery at an authorised service centre to preserve water resistance and warranty coverage.
• Adjust the bracelet length using a proper link-removal tool; forcing pins can scratch the plating.
• Avoid wearing the watch in hot showers or saunas, as rapid temperature changes can stress the gaskets.

How to choose the right gents watch

When selecting a daily-wear metal watch, weigh case size, material durability, water resistance and style versatility. The LC08269.230 offers a 38.3 by 46 millimetre square case that fits most wrists without overhang. Its supermetal alloy resists scratches better than standard steel, while the 5 ATM rating covers hand-washing and rain but not swimming. The silver and gold two-tone plating works with both cool and warm accessory tones, reducing the need for multiple watches. If your priority is a single, low-maintenance piece for office and casual settings, this model meets those criteria.

Frequently asked questions

What is the case made of?

The case uses a proprietary supermetal alloy that is harder than standard stainless steel. This material helps the watch resist scratches from daily desk and door contact.

How large is the watch on the wrist?

The square case measures 38.3 millimetres wide by 46 millimetres tall. This mid-size profile suits most male wrists and remains easy to read at a glance.

Can I swim with this watch?

The 5 ATM rating protects against splashes, rain and brief immersion such as hand-washing. It is not designed for swimming, snorkelling or diving.

Does the bracelet fit all wrist sizes?

The metal bracelet adjusts by removing links with a standard link-removal tool. A jeweller can size it precisely for wrists from roughly 16 to 21 centimetres.

What type of glass covers the dial?

Hardened mineral crystal protects the dial. It resists everyday knocks and surface scratches better than acrylic and is less expensive to replace than sapphire.

How often does the battery need changing?

The quartz movement typically runs two to three years on a fresh battery. Have the battery replaced by an authorised service centre to keep the water resistance intact.

Is the two-tone plating durable?

Ion plating bonds the silver and gold colours to the supermetal base. With normal care it resists fading, though harsh chemicals or abrasive polishing can wear it over time.

What does the warranty cover?

The two-year international warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship. It does not cover battery depletion, accidental damage, or wear from normal use.
