The Lacoste 2001036 puts mid-sized presence on the wrist, built around a ss ip rose gold case. It measures 38 mm across. Case and Wrist Presence \n The case measures 38 mm in diameter, worked in ss ip rose gold. At 38 mm this is a mid-sized case that reads as unisex, and it wears easily on most wrists. \n Movement and Functions \n A quartz movement drives the watch. That means accuracy which needs no daily attention, no winding routine, and no rate drift to correct. \n \n Calendar – date indication on the dial \n Water resistance – 3 ATM (30 metres) \n Mineral crystal – protecting the dial \n \n Strap, Clasp and Fit \n The strap is ss ip rose gold. \n Water Resistance and Everyday Durability \n The watch is rated to 3 ATM, or 30 metres of static pressure. That covers rain and incidental splashes. Take it off before you shower or swim. Make sure the crown is fully seated before any contact with water. \n A mineral crystal protects the dial – harder than acrylic and more shatter-resistant than sapphire, which is a sensible trade-off on a case this size. \n Care and Maintenance \n None of the care below is onerous. It is the difference between a watch that ages well and one that simply gets old. Have the battery replaced by a watchmaker rather than a kiosk – a proper service reseats the case gasket at the same time, which is what actually preserves the water rating. A flat battery left in the case is the single most common cause of avoidable movement damage. Keep it away from the shower and the pool – the rating here covers splashes, not immersion. \n Keep it clear of perfume and solvents, off the speaker on your desk, and out of direct sun when you take it off. \n About the Brand and Ownership \n The appeal of a Lacoste is that it is unmistakable. You are buying a design point of view rather than an anonymous case with a dial in it. Quartz keeps the running costs near zero – a battery every few years and the occasional seal check is the whole of the maintenance schedule. Kept out of direct heat, away from magnets and wiped down after a sweaty day, a watch like this will outlast several phones. \n The Short Version \n What you are getting is a case that wears close and stays out of the way. It is not trying to be a heirloom piece and it does not price itself like one. It is a well-made, recognisable watch that does the job every day and looks considered doing it. \n Technical Specifications \n \n Attribute Specification \n Brand Lacoste \n Model / Reference 2001036 \n Gender Unisex (38 mm case) \n EAN 7613272270946 \n Case Diameter 38 mm \n Case Material Ss ip rose gold \n Crystal Mineral \n Movement Quartz \n Strap / Bracelet Ss ip rose gold \n Water Resistance 3 ATM / 30 metres \n \n Buying With Confidence \n Buying a watch online comes down to trusting the seller, so here is exactly what you get.
