On the wrist

The Resolute sits quietly on the wrist but announces itself the moment light catches the dial. At 41.2mm lug-to-lug it works especially well on wrists under 6.5 inches, where the 36mm case fills the visual space without overpowering it. The 10.4mm case depth is genuinely slim — it slips under a shirt cuff without argument, and the polished case sides catch light pleasingly without reading as dressy in the old-fashioned sense.

The ice-blue Lumicast numerals are ceramic-and-lume blocks raised from the dial surface, not printed, and up close that tactile three-dimensionality distinguishes the Resolute from watches costing twice as much. The burnt-orange seconds hand is a bold editorial choice that shouldn't work on a white dial but somehow does — it reads as confident rather than loud. The La Joux-Perret G101 through the sapphire caseback rewards the curious: tidy, quiet in a way that communicates quality without shouting it. Those who need adventure-ready numbers will be stymied by 50m water resistance; this is a city watch, not a beach watch, and the Resolute wears that identity without apology.

Bottom line

A slim, intelligently sized Swiss automatic that earns its asking price with a genuine La Joux-Perret movement, distinctive three-dimensional Lumicast dial, and compact 41.2mm lug-to-lug — the right pick for smaller wrists that want colour character and lume performance without bulk.

Who it's for

Best suited to wrists in the 6–6.5 inch range looking for a slim, dress-adjacent daily wearer with genuine Swiss movement quality, bold colour accent, and strong lume performance. Works well across smart-casual and business contexts; also appeals to collectors adding a compact, colourful three-hander to a larger-watch collection.

Who should skip it

Skip it if you need more than 50m water resistance, want a date complication, or wear a wrist above ~6.5 inches where the very short (41.2mm) lug-to-lug may leave noticeable gaps on the wrist.

Before you buy

Confirm size: Resolute 36mm vs Resolute III 39mm — meaningfully different WR (50m vs 100m), dimensions, and price (£925 vs £1,025)
50m WR only — hand-washing fine, lap-swimming is not
Lug-to-lug is 41.2mm, exceptionally short for a 36mm case — verify wrist fit before ordering

FAQ

Is the Resolute automatic or quartz?

The Resolute is automatic. The La Joux-Perret G101 winds itself from the motion of your wrist, so it needs no battery. A full wind holds roughly 68 hours, so it keeps running overnight off the wrist; left longer it stops and restarts once you wear or hand-wind it.

What movement does the Resolute use?

The Resolute is powered by the La Joux-Perret G101 from La Joux-Perret, an automatic caliber with 24 jewels, a 68-hour power reserve, and a 28,800 bph beat rate. Being automatic, it winds from the motion of your wrist and needs no battery.

How water resistant is the Resolute?

The Resolute is rated to 50 m. That is enough for hand-washing, rain and brief swimming, but not for diving or prolonged submersion. Whatever the rating, avoid operating the crown or pushers underwater, and have the gaskets checked periodically to keep it reliable.

How big does the Resolute wear?

At 36 mm across with a 41.2 mm lug-to-lug and 10.4 mm thick, the Resolute wears as a compact, dress-leaning watch. Lug-to-lug is the measurement that really decides fit, since it sets how far the case spans the wrist — 41.2 mm suits most wrists, and smaller wrists especially should check that figure.

How does the base Resolute 36mm differ from the Resolute III?

The Resolute III is 39mm wide with 100m water resistance, a screw-down crown, and a slightly thicker 11.8mm profile (45mm lug-to-lug) at £1,025; the Resolute 36mm is slimmer at 10.4mm, shorter at 41.2mm lug-to-lug, with 50m WR at £925 — a clear size-and-use-case split.

Are the dial numerals printed or physically applied?

Applied. The 12 Arabic numerals are Lumicast — a proprietary ceramic-and-Super-LumiNova blend — raised from the dial surface and overprinted in black for daylight contrast and a backglow effect in darkness.

Is the La Joux-Perret G101 a meaningful upgrade over a standard Miyota at this price?

Generally yes: the G101 is Swiss-made, finished to La Joux-Perret's 'soignée' grade, and provides 68 hours of power reserve — specs that sit above the typical Miyota 9015 in finishing standards, though the 9015 remains a solid daily performer.
