Lee Cooper LC08379.331 Silver Dial Leather Strap Men's Watch

The Lee Cooper LC08379.331 is a men's analog watch with a silver dial and black leather strap, powered by a quartz movement. It offers 5 ATM water resistance and luminous hands for low-light reading, making it a practical choice for everyday wear and smart-casual occasions.

Its case is built from Super Metal, a durable alloy that resists daily knocks, while the mineral glass protects the dial from scratches. The quartz movement keeps time accurately with minimal upkeep, and the 5 ATM rating means the watch handles splashes, rain and brief immersion without issue. A two-year manufacturer warranty covers the movement and case. The leather strap fastens with a standard buckle and fits most wrists comfortably.

Key features and benefits of the Lee Cooper LC08379.331

• Quartz movement: The watch uses a battery-powered quartz movement that keeps time precisely. You only need to replace the battery every few years, so maintenance stays low.
• 5 ATM water resistance: The case withstands pressure equivalent to 50 metres of water depth. It handles hand-washing, rain and accidental splashes, but is not suitable for swimming or diving.
• Luminous hands and markers: The hour and minute hands plus the hour markers glow after exposure to light. This lets you read the time in dark rooms or at night without a backlight.
• Mineral glass: The dial window is made from hardened mineral crystal that resists everyday scratches. It keeps the silver dial looking clear longer than standard acrylic would.
• Black leather strap: The strap is crafted from genuine leather with a classic texture and a silver-tone buckle. Leather moulds to the wrist over time and suits both casual and formal dress codes.
• Super Metal case: The case uses a proprietary alloy called Super Metal that offers good hardness and corrosion resistance. It keeps the watch light on the wrist while standing up to daily wear.
• Silver dial: The dial features a sunburst silver finish with applied indices and a date window at three o'clock. The neutral tone pairs easily with most clothing colours.
• Analog three-hand display: The watch shows hours, minutes and seconds with a smooth sweeping second hand. The layout is clean and instantly readable at a glance.
• Date window: A small date aperture sits at the three o'clock position, showing the day of the month. It adds practical function without cluttering the dial.
• Two-year manufacturer warranty: Lee Cooper backs the movement and case against defects for two years from purchase. This gives you repair coverage if a manufacturing fault appears.

Who the watch is for

The Lee Cooper LC08379.331 suits men who want a single watch that works for office days, weekend errands and evening events. Its silver dial and black leather strap sit comfortably under a shirt cuff or with an open collar, and the 5 ATM rating means you never need to remove it for rain or hand-washing. The quartz movement appeals to anyone who prefers set-and-forget reliability over mechanical winding.

• Daily commute and desk work where a slim, professional watch is expected.
• Business-casual meetings where a leather strap signals polish without formality.
• Weekend social gatherings where the silver dial adds a subtle accent.
• Travel when you want one versatile watch that handles temperature changes and occasional water exposure.
• Gifting for a graduate or new professional building a watch collection.

Less suitable if: you plan to swim, snorkel or dive regularly, as 5 ATM does not cover sustained water pressure, or if you prefer a metal bracelet for a sportier look.

Watch specifications

Using and caring for the Lee Cooper LC08379.331

Set the time and date by pulling the crown out to the first or second position, then push it back in fully to maintain water resistance. Clean the case and crystal with a soft, dry cloth; for the leather strap, wipe with a slightly damp cloth and let it air dry away from direct heat. Avoid exposing the watch to extreme temperatures, strong magnets or chemical solvents, which can affect the movement and degrade the leather.

• Wind the crown gently if the watch stops after long storage; quartz models only need a battery change every two to three years.
• Remove the watch before showering or swimming to preserve the leather strap and seals.
• Store the watch flat in a box or pouch to prevent the crystal from contacting hard surfaces.
• Condition the leather strap occasionally with a leather cream to keep it supple and prevent cracking.
• Have the water-resistance seals checked by a watchmaker every two years, especially after battery replacement.

How to choose the right watch

When picking a men's leather-strap watch, consider the movement type, water resistance, case material and strap quality. The Lee Cooper LC08379.331 uses a quartz movement for low-maintenance accuracy, offers 5 ATM water resistance for everyday splashes, features a Super Metal case that balances durability and weight, and provides a genuine leather strap that ages well. If you need higher water resistance for swimming, a mechanical movement for enthusiast appeal, or a metal bracelet for a sportier look, you would look at other models in the category.
