Slazenger SL.9.2477.1.04 42mm Stainless Steel Men's Watch

The Slazenger SL.9.2477.1.04 is a men's wristwatch with a 42mm stainless steel case and a matching silver metal bracelet. It runs on a quartz date movement, has mineral glass and offers 5 ATM water resistance for everyday splashes and brief swimming.

The 42mm case diameter sits comfortably on most wrists without feeling oversized. Stainless steel construction resists corrosion and keeps its finish through daily wear. Mineral glass protects the dial from common scratches better than acrylic. A 5 ATM rating means the watch handles rain, hand washing and surface swimming, though not diving. The integrated silver bracelet fastens with a deployment clasp for a secure fit.

Key features and benefits of the Slazenger SL.9.2477.1.04

• 42mm stainless steel case: The mid-size case fits a wide range of wrist sizes. Stainless steel resists rust and holds its polish over years of use.
• Quartz date movement: A battery-powered movement drives the hands and date window. It keeps accurate time with no winding needed.
• Mineral glass: Hardened glass covers the dial. It withstands everyday knocks better than plastic crystals.
• 5 ATM water resistance: The case seals against pressure equal to 50 metres depth. You can swim at the surface but should not dive or press buttons underwater.
• Silver stainless steel bracelet: The matching metal band complements the case. Solid links add weight and durability compared to folded metal.
• Deployment clasp: The hidden folding clasp locks securely and opens with a push. It keeps the watch centred on the wrist.
• Date window at three o'clock: A white-on-black date disc shows the day of the month. The date changes automatically at midnight.
• Corrosion-resistant finish: The steel case and bracelet receive a brushed and polished treatment. Sweat and humidity do not cause pitting.
• Integrated bracelet design: The bracelet flows directly from the case lugs. There are no spring bars to loosen over time.
• 42mm case diameter: This size balances presence and comfort. It slides under a shirt cuff without catching.

Who the watch is for

The Slazenger SL.9.2477.1.04 suits men who want a single watch that moves from office to weekend without a strap change. The stainless steel build handles daily knocks, while 5 ATM water resistance covers gym sessions, pool laps and sudden rain. The neutral silver tone pairs with business shirts, polo tops or a sweater. Quartz date movement means you set it once and forget it until the battery needs replacement.

• Daily commuter who washes hands frequently and wants no leather-strap worries
• Weekend swimmer who needs a watch that survives pool time
• Office professional preferring a metal bracelet that matches cufflinks or belt buckle
• Gift buyer looking for a recognised brand with a clean, classic dial
• First-time watch owner who values low maintenance and readable date

Less suitable if: you need 10 ATM or higher for snorkelling or diving, you prefer a leather or fabric strap for lighter weight, or you want an automatic mechanical movement.

Watch specifications

Using and caring for the Slazenger SL.9.2477.1.04

Rinse the watch with fresh water after exposure to salt water or chlorine to prevent residue build-up on the bracelet links. Wipe the case and glass with a soft microfibre cloth to remove oils and keep the mineral crystal clear. Avoid extreme temperature changes such as saunas followed by cold plunges, which can stress the seals. Have a jeweller check the bracelet fit and clasp tension once a year. Replace the battery through a qualified watchmaker to ensure the case back is resealed correctly for continued water resistance.

• Rinse under lukewarm tap water after swimming in pool or sea
• Dry thoroughly with a lint-free cloth, especially between bracelet links
• Store away from strong magnetic fields such as speakers or phone magnets
• Do not operate the crown or pushers while the watch is wet
• Schedule battery change every two to three years with pressure test

How to choose the right watch

When picking a daily men's watch, consider case size, case material, water rating and movement type. The Slazenger SL.9.2477.1.04 offers a 42mm diameter that fits most wrists without overhang. Stainless steel provides scratch resistance and a weight that feels substantial but not heavy. A 5 ATM rating covers hand washing, rain and surface swimming, which matches typical urban and light-sport use. Quartz date movement delivers set-and-forget accuracy with a battery life of several years. If your priority is deeper water activity, look for 10 ATM or above; if you prefer a lighter feel, consider a titanium or resin case.

Frequently asked questions

What is the case made of?

The case is solid stainless steel with a mixed brushed and polished finish. This material resists corrosion and keeps its colour without plating wear.

How water resistant is the watch?

It carries a 5 ATM rating, meaning it withstands pressure equivalent to 50 metres depth. You can swim on the surface but should not dive, snorkel or press the crown underwater.

What type of movement does it use?

A quartz date movement powers the hands and date window. It runs on a standard button cell battery that typically lasts two to three years.

What comes in the box?

The watch ships with the Slazenger SL.9.2477.1.04 on its integrated stainless steel bracelet, along with the manufacturer's instruction booklet and warranty card.

Can the bracelet be resized?

Yes, a jeweller or watch shop can remove or add solid links to adjust the length. The deployment clasp also offers micro-adjustment holes for fine tuning.

Is it suitable for swimming?

Surface swimming in a pool or calm sea is fine. Rinse with fresh water afterwards. Avoid hot tubs, high-speed water sports and pressing any buttons while wet.

What glass protects the dial?

Mineral glass covers the dial. It is harder than acrylic and resists everyday scratches, though it can still chip under sharp impact.

How does the date function work?

The date disc advances automatically at midnight. You can also quick-set the date by pulling the crown to the first position and turning it, avoiding the 9 PM to 3 AM changeover window.
