The Watch
Here, we have a 2024 Lorca Model No.1 GMT Silver Dial on Bracelet with a curvaceous 36mm round stainless steel case that curves over your wrist with thick tapered drilled lugs. Brushed and polished surfaces transition with crisp, well-defined edges, leading to a lug-to-lug length of 44mm and a case thickness of 11mm, giving the watch an impressive wrist presence. On the right side, a coin-edged crown. The thick fixed bezel has an engraved 24-hour scale filled with black lacquer and holds a double domed sapphire crystal AR coated on the inside above a striking sunburst silver crosshair dial. SuperLumiNova pips surround applied slim baton indexes and black printed markers for the minutes; at 3 o’clock, a date window, polished steel hands are complemented by a tapered second hand and a GMT hand with a square SuperLumiNova head; at 12 o’clock, we have the Lorca motif and at 6 o’clock “20ATM GMT” completes this sporty travellers companion. On the reverse a screw-down case back, inside an automatic Soprod C125 R4, 25 jewels, beating at 28,800 beats per hour. It has GMT, hand-winding and hacking functionality. Soprod is a division of the Festina group. It comes paired with its 19mm flowing stainless steel “Bead of Rice” bracelet secured by a signed push-button deployant clasp. This watch is sold with its original Lorca box and paperwork.
Personal Note
This fantastic Lorca Model No.1 GMT makes for a great option for someone wanting a GMT in their collection that won't break the bank but also offers something a little different design-wise. The case at 36mm is great on the wrist, featuring lovely defined lugs and a fixed steel bezel with a super attractive font. Then you have the silver dial and the subtle pop of red with the GMT hand. All of this is only elevated by the incredibly comfortable bracelet. I would not hesitate to add this watch to your collection today as they don't seem to come up often at all on the secondary market!
The Brand
Lorca Watch Company was established in 2022 by the talented New York-based recording artist Jesse Marchant, who brings a unique cultural perspective as the son of a Swiss mother and a Canadian father. Marchant’s vision for creating the brand was sparked during his extensive tours across Europe as a solo performer. Throughout his travels, he often found himself yearning for an ideal wristwatch that could serve as a reliable companion—one that encapsulated elegance, functionality, and the spirit of adventure but was conspicuously absent from the market.
The journey began with the launch of the Model No.1 GMT, which marked the starting point for Lorca's commitment to producing a carefully curated collection of sophisticated, mid-sized, waterproof Swiss Made mechanical watches. Each piece is crafted with meticulous attention to detail, ensuring that they are not only aesthetically pleasing but also practical for everyday wear. The pricing is thoughtfully positioned to be accessible while maintaining high manufacturing standards, aiming to satisfy the discerning tastes of seasoned collectors and watch enthusiasts alike. Following this initial success, the brand introduced the Model No.2 | CHRONOGRAPH, representing a bold and energetic stride forward in their design philosophy. This model continues to embody the essence of Lorca—watches that are not only accurate and easily serviceable but also romantic and beautiful in their craftsmanship. Each Lorca watch is designed to be worn daily, merging utility with an exquisite sense of style, allowing wearers to express their individuality with sophistication.
