Lee Cooper watch – Grant – LC08227.390

Lee Cooper Grant LC08227.390 – Men's Automatic Watch, Octagonal Silver 42 mm Case, Dark Blue Open Heart Dial, 66-Hour Power Reserve

The Lee Cooper Grant LC08227.390 is a men's automatic watch with an octagonal rounded stainless steel case in silver at 42 mm, a dark blue open-heart dial, and a 66-hour power reserve. Steel bracelet 24/20 mm, mineral anti-reflective crystal, 5 ATM water resistance.

Dark Blue on the Same Case — A Different Watch

The Grant collection offers two blue dial variants on the same octagonal silver case: the LC08227.300 in light blue, and the LC08227.390 in dark blue. The specification is otherwise identical — same movement, same power reserve, same bracelet, same water resistance. The dial colour is the only variable, and it changes the character of the watch entirely.

A light blue dial advances: it catches light, reads immediately, and gives the Grant an open, contemporary feel. A dark blue dial recedes: it absorbs light, adds depth, and pulls the watch toward a quieter, more formal register. On the octagonal silver case — whose eight flat panels produce their own shifting light effects — the dark blue dial allows the case geometry to be the more dominant visual element. The dial does not compete with it; it provides a backdrop for it.

Open Heart Recessed Into the Dial

The open-heart aperture sits at 6 o'clock. On a dark blue dial, the mechanical detail visible through the window is less immediately contrasted than it is on the light blue version — the movement is present and in motion, but it sits within the dial rather than standing out from it. The open heart on the LC08227.390 is something to notice on close inspection rather than something that presents itself from a distance. For wearers who find the open-heart complication too prominent on light dials, the dark blue version resolves that without removing the feature.

Which One — .300 or .390?

The LC08227.300 (light blue) suits someone who wants a legible, versatile watch that works in casual and relaxed contexts and makes the mechanical aperture a visible talking point. The LC08227.390 (dark blue) suits someone who wants the same platform in a more formal, professional register — a watch where the open heart is present but understated, and the overall impression is closer to a dress watch than a casual one. Both are correct choices; the question is context.

66-Hour Power Reserve and Practical Notes

The automatic calibre delivers a 66-hour power reserve — enough to cover a full weekend off the wrist and restart Monday morning without winding or time resetting. The mineral anti-reflective crystal handles everyday wear but will scratch on abrasive surfaces more readily than sapphire. The 5 ATM water resistance is suitable for rain and splashes; swimming is outside its rated specification.
