The Roamer Optimus is an elegant automatic men's watch for a suit and the office. Its 5 ATM water resistance copes with everyday splashes, but this is not the watch to swim with. You can order the variants online, with the manufacturer warranty and home delivery. Strap changes and water resistance checks are done by our own service.
Who is the Roamer Optimus for?
For the man who wants an automatic watch for the office, for meetings or for a wedding, and does not want to bother with battery changes. The automatic movement charges itself from the motion of your wrist, so if you wear it regularly, it runs by itself.
What to know about the accuracy of automatic watches
A mechanical movement will never be as accurate as quartz – a deviation of a few seconds a day is perfectly normal. In return, you need no battery, and with servicing the movement can keep working for decades.
- At night, lay it down dial up.
- Avoid strong magnetic fields.
- If it stops, wind it with the crown and set it.
Optimus, PrimeLine or Searock?
All three are automatic men's Roamers. The Optimus is the more classic, the PrimeLine adds a day and date display, and the Searock survives swimming with its 10 ATM. You can compare the full range on the Roamer page.
The leather strap of the Optimus is worth replacing in time, especially if you wear it in summer too; our service will do the strap change in a matching colour.
How to choose a size online
The Optimus has a classic case size that is well proportioned with a suit; you will find the exact diameter on the product page. Draw around it on paper and hold it on your wrist: the lugs should not overhang the edge of the wrist.
Frequently asked questions about the Roamer Optimus
What determines the price of the Roamer Optimus?
The design: the leather-strap and the metal-bracelet versions, and the finish of the dial, make the difference. Every version has an automatic movement.
Does the Roamer Optimus need a battery?
No, the Roamer Optimus is automatic and is wound by the motion of wearing it. If you do not wear it for days, it has to be restarted.
How water resistant is the Roamer Optimus?
The Optimus is 5 ATM, meaning strongly splash resistant. It handles hand washing and rain, but for swimming choose a 10 ATM watch.
