FAQ
Q: Is this watch suitable for swimming and diving?
A: The EFR-552D-1A3VUDF has 100-metre water resistance, making it suitable for swimming, snorkelling, and recreational water sports. It is not designed for scuba diving or high-impact water activities. Always ensure the crown is fully pushed in before water exposure.
Q: How long does the battery last in this quartz chronograph?
A: Casio quartz movements typically provide approximately 2-3 years of battery life under normal use. The chronograph function, when used frequently, may reduce battery lifespan slightly. We offer battery replacement services at our Mall of the South boutique.

A: Yes, the stainless steel bracelet features removable links that allow for precise sizing. Our team at Cassim & Co. provides complimentary bracelet sizing with your purchase to ensure optimal comfort and fit.
Q: What does the tachymeter bezel measure?
A: The tachymeter scale allows you to calculate average speed over a known distance. Start the chronograph at the beginning of a measured kilometre, stop it at the end, and the chronograph second hand will indicate your average speed in kilometres per hour on the tachymeter scale.
Q: Does this watch have illumination for low-light reading?
A: Yes, the hour markers and hands feature luminous coating that absorbs light and glows in darkness, allowing for legibility in low-light conditions without requiring a battery-powered backlight.
