The Daniel Klein DK113638-4 Exclusive is a striking timepiece that commands attention with its bold design language and contemporary technical execution. Featuring a tonneau-shaped case crafted from black IP-coated metal, this 43.5mm × 51mm watch delivers a commanding wrist presence perfectly suited to the modern urbanite. The skeletonised dial with vivid blue accents reveals the intricate multifunction movement beneath, creating a visual depth that elevates this timepiece beyond conventional sports chronographs.
At Cassims & Co., we are proud to be an authorised retailer for DANIEL KLEIN watches, bringing you this Exclusive collection piece with full manufacturer backing and warranty support. The VX9J21 quartz multifunction movement offers reliable timekeeping alongside day and date complications displayed across three sub-dials, whilst the blue silicone strap with textured detail ensures all-day comfort whether you're in the boardroom or out for the weekend.
Water resistance to 5 ATM (approximately 50 metres) provides suitable protection for everyday wear including handwashing and light splashes, though swimming and water sports should be avoided. The chronograph functionality and tachymeter scale on the blue chapter ring add genuine utility for timing events, whilst the luminous hour markers ensure legibility in low-light conditions. The contrast between the black skeletonised architecture and the electric blue accents creates a signature aesthetic that's unmistakably Daniel Klein Exclusive.
This timepiece represents exceptional value in the accessible luxury segment, offering design codes inspired by haute horlogerie at a price point that democratises style.

FAQ
Q: Is this watch suitable for swimming or water sports?
A: The DK113638-4 has 5 ATM water resistance, which is suitable for everyday splashes, handwashing, and light rain. However, it is not recommended for swimming, showering, or any water sports. The pushers should never be operated when the watch is wet or submerged, as this can compromise the water seal and damage the movement.
Q: What type of battery does this watch use and how long will it last?
A: The VX9J21 quartz multifunction movement typically uses a standard watch battery (usually SR920SW or equivalent). Battery life is approximately 2-3 years depending on usage of the chronograph functions. When battery replacement is needed, visit our Mall of the South boutique where our technicians can replace it whilst maintaining the water resistance seal.
Q: How do I operate the multifunction chronograph complications?
A: The three sub-dials display continuous day (upper left), date (upper right), and running seconds (lower centre). The chronograph function is operated via the pushers on the right side of the case. We recommend consulting the instruction manual included with your watch, or visiting our boutique for a hands-on demonstration of all functions.
Q: Can the silicone strap be replaced with a different material?
A: Yes, the 22mm lug width is a standard size, allowing you to fit alternative straps including leather, NATO fabric, or other silicone options. However, we recommend keeping the original blue silicone strap as it's specifically designed to complement the watch's sporty aesthetic. Our team can assist with strap changes and recommendations.
Q: Is this watch suitable for formal occasions or only casual wear?
A: The DK113638-4 Exclusive is primarily a sporty-casual timepiece due to its bold silicone strap and skeletonised dial design. Whilst the tonneau case shape adds sophistication, this watch is best suited to smart-casual and weekend wear rather than black-tie formal events. For formal occasions, consider pairing it with a leather strap for a more refined presentation.
Q: Does this watch come with an official Daniel Klein warranty?
A: Yes, as an authorised Daniel Klein retailer, every DK113638-4 purchased from Cassims & Co. includes a 1-year manufacturer warranty covering manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship. The warranty card will be stamped and dated at purchase. This warranty does not cover battery replacement, normal wear and tear, or damage from misuse.
Q: What wrist size is this watch suitable for?
A: The silicone strap is adjustable and will comfortably fit wrist circumferences from approximately 16cm to 21cm. The 43.5mm × 51mm tonneau case is considered a medium-to-large size and wears well on wrists from 17cm upwards. We invite you to visit our Mall of the South boutique for a fitting to ensure the perfect size and comfort for your wrist.
Warranty
- Manufacturer Warranty: This Daniel Klein watch carries a 1-year manufacturer warranty from the date of purchase, valid only when purchased from an authorised retailer such as Cassims & Co.
- Warranty Coverage: The warranty covers manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship under normal use conditions. This includes defects in the movement, case, dial, hands, and original strap.
- Warranty Exclusions: The warranty does not cover normal wear and tear, scratches or cosmetic damage to the case or crystal, battery replacement, water damage resulting from misuse or failure to observe water resistance limitations, damage from accidents or impacts, unauthorised repairs or modifications, or damage from exposure to chemicals or extreme conditions.
- Water Resistance: Water resistance is not a permanent condition and may be affected by ageing of gaskets or accidental impact. Water resistance is not covered under warranty if the crown or pushers were operated whilst wet or underwater.
- Warranty Activation: Your warranty card must be fully completed, stamped, and dated by Cassims & Co. at the time of purchase. Retain your proof of purchase alongside the warranty card.
- Warranty Claims: Should a defect arise during the warranty period, bring the watch along with the completed warranty card and proof of purchase to our Mall of the South boutique. We will assess the issue and liaise with Daniel Klein on your behalf.

Care Guide
- Daily Care: Wipe the case and silicone strap with a soft, lint-free cloth after wearing to remove perspiration, dust, and oils. The silicone strap can be cleaned with mild soap and water when needed, then dried thoroughly.
- Water Exposure: Although water-resistant to 5 ATM, never operate the crown or pushers when the watch is wet or underwater. Rinse with fresh water after exposure to chlorinated or salt water, then dry completely with a soft cloth.
- Crown Position: Always ensure the crown is pushed fully in against the case after setting the time or date. A pulled-out crown compromises water resistance and can allow dust ingress.
- Avoid Magnetic Fields: Keep your watch away from strong magnetic sources such as speakers, mobile phones, magnetic clasps, and laptops, as these can affect timekeeping accuracy.
- Temperature Extremes: Avoid exposing your watch to extreme temperatures (below 0°C or above 60°C) or sudden temperature changes, which can affect the seals and movement performance.
- Chemical Exposure: Keep your watch away from solvents, detergents, perfumes, cosmetics, and other chemicals which may damage the case finish, seals, or silicone strap.
- Impact Protection: Whilst designed for daily wear, avoid impacts and knocks against hard surfaces. Remove your watch during high-impact sports or activities that may subject it to shocks.
- Storage: When not wearing your watch, store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. The original presentation box provides ideal protection.
- Battery Replacement: When the watch stops or timekeeping becomes erratic, have the battery replaced promptly by a professional. Visit our Mall of the South boutique where our technicians will replace the battery and test water resistance.
- Regular Servicing: We recommend having your watch inspected every 2-3 years to ensure seals remain effective and the movement is performing optimally. Our watch servicing team can provide this service.
