The Daniel Klein Exclusive DK.1.13801-4 is a bold statement in contemporary masculine horology, combining a distinctive tonneau-shaped case with a striking deep green dial and multifunction chronograph capability. Housed within a 41mm black ion-plated stainless steel case, this timepiece delivers confident wrist presence with an unmistakably modern aesthetic. The green sunray dial features applied rose gold-tone hour markers and matching hands, creating a luxurious contrast against the tactical black case finish.
Powered by the reliable VD33B14 quartz chronograph movement, this Daniel Klein watch offers precise timekeeping with three functional subdials displaying running seconds, 30-minute chronograph counter, and 12-hour totaliser. A date window positioned at 6 o'clock completes the multifunction layout. The tonneau case design is accentuated by exposed screws at each corner, lending an industrial-inspired character while maintaining the watch's refined appearance. Water resistance to 5 BAR (50 metres) provides sufficient protection for daily wear and incidental water exposure.

This multifunction chronograph represents exceptional value in the accessible luxury segment, combining Swiss-inspired design language with quartz precision. The green dial—a colour increasingly favoured in modern watchmaking—adds distinctive character while remaining versatile enough to complement both casual and smart-casual attire.

FAQ
Q: Is this Daniel Klein watch suitable for swimming?
A: With 5 BAR (50 metres) water resistance, this watch is suitable for everyday water exposure such as handwashing, rain, and brief immersion. However, it is not recommended for swimming, showering, or water sports, as the chronograph pushers should not be operated underwater and can compromise the seal.
Q: What does the multifunction chronograph feature do?
A: The chronograph function allows you to use the watch as a stopwatch. The three subdials display running seconds (continuously moving), a 30-minute counter for timing events up to half an hour, and a 12-hour totaliser for extended timing. The pushers on the side of the case control start, stop, and reset functions.
Q: How long will the battery last in this quartz watch?
A: A standard quartz chronograph battery typically lasts between 2-3 years, depending on usage frequency of the chronograph function. When battery replacement is needed, we recommend having it replaced by our authorised service team to maintain water resistance and warranty coverage.
Q: Can the black ion plating wear off over time?
A: Black ion plating (IP) is a durable surface treatment, but it can show wear over time with daily use, particularly on high-contact areas like bracelet links and clasp. To maximise longevity, avoid abrasive contact, remove the watch during heavy physical activity, and store it properly when not worn.
Q: Is the bracelet adjustable and can you resize it?
A: Yes, the stainless steel bracelet features removable links for sizing adjustment. Visit our Mall of the South boutique for complimentary professional sizing, or contact us for sizing services with your purchase. Proper sizing ensures comfortable wear and optimal security.
Q: What is the difference between this model and other Daniel Klein chronographs?
A: The DK.1.13801-4 is distinguished by its tonneau (barrel-shaped) case design, deep green dial, and black ion-plated finish. This combination is exclusive to the Daniel Klein Exclusive sub-collection, offering a more contemporary and bold aesthetic compared to traditional round chronograph models.
Q: Does this watch come with the manufacturer's warranty in South Africa?
A: Yes, when purchased from Cassim & Co. as an authorised Daniel Klein retailer, this watch includes a 1-year manufacturer warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship. The warranty is valid from the date of purchase and requires retention of your original proof of purchase.
Warranty
- Warranty Period: This Daniel Klein watch is covered by a 1-year manufacturer warranty from the date of purchase.
- Warranty Coverage: The warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship under normal use conditions, including movement malfunctions and manufacturing defects in the case, dial, hands, and bracelet.
- What Is Not Covered: The warranty does not cover normal wear and tear, scratches or cosmetic damage to the case, crystal, or bracelet, battery replacement, damage caused by accidents, misuse, improper handling, water damage resulting from failure to observe water resistance limitations, or damage from unauthorised repairs or modifications.
- Authorised Retailer Requirement: This warranty is valid only when the watch is purchased from an authorised Daniel Klein retailer such as Cassim & Co. Proof of purchase must be retained and presented for any warranty claims.
- Water Resistance: Water resistance is not a permanent condition and may be affected by ageing of gaskets, accidental impact to the crown or crystal, or unauthorised servicing. Water resistance should be tested periodically.
- Warranty Claims: To make a warranty claim, contact Cassim & Co. with your proof of purchase. The watch will be inspected to determine if the issue is covered under warranty terms.

Care Guide
- Daily Care: Wipe the case and bracelet with a soft, lint-free cloth after wear to remove perspiration, oils, and debris that can accumulate and affect the finish.
- Ion Plating Preservation: Avoid contact with abrasive surfaces, chemicals, perfumes, and cosmetics, as these can degrade the black ion-plated coating over time.
- Water Exposure: While rated to 5 BAR, avoid operating the chronograph pushers or crown when the watch is wet or submerged, as this can compromise water resistance.
- Bracelet Cleaning: Periodically clean the bracelet links with a soft brush and mild soapy water, then dry thoroughly with a soft cloth. Ensure the watch is completely dry before wearing.
- Battery Replacement: Have the battery replaced by an authorised service centre to ensure proper sealing and maintain water resistance. Battery changes by unauthorised technicians may void your warranty.
- Storage: When not in use, store the watch in a cool, dry place away from magnetic fields, extreme temperatures, and direct sunlight. Use the original box or a watch case for protection.
- Chronograph Function: Avoid continuous operation of the chronograph for extended periods, as this can increase battery drain. Reset the chronograph to the zero position when not in use.
- Impact Protection: While robust, quartz movements can be damaged by severe shocks or impacts. Remove the watch during high-impact activities or sports.
- Regular Servicing: Have your watch inspected every 2-3 years or whenever you notice moisture under the crystal, timekeeping irregularities, or operational issues.
