Finished entirely in black ion-plated stainless steel, this multifunction timepiece features a distinctive tonneau-shaped case measuring 41mm, contrasted by rose gold-toned indices and sub-dials that deliver striking visual depth against the matte black dial. The chronograph layout is both functional and aesthetically balanced, with three sub-registers providing multifunction capability and a date window positioned at 6 o'clock for everyday practicality.
At Cassims & Co., we are proud to be an authorised retailer for DANIEL KLEIN watches, offering you full manufacturer warranty coverage and the assurance of genuine craftsmanship.

FAQ
Q: What does 5 ATM water resistance mean for this watch?
A: 5 ATM (50 metres) water resistance means the DK113801-5 is suitable for everyday splashes, hand washing, and brief immersion in water. It is not suitable for swimming, showering with hot water, or water sports. The screw-down styling is decorative; ensure the crown is pushed fully in after any adjustment to maintain water resistance integrity.
Q: What type of battery does this watch use and how long does it last?
A: The DK113801-5 uses a standard quartz watch battery, typically lasting 2-3 years depending on usage of the chronograph functions. Our authorised service centre at Mall of the South can replace the battery and pressure-test the case to maintain water resistance when replacement is needed.
Q: Can the black ion plating wear off over time?
A: Black ion plating (IP) is a durable PVD coating that is significantly more resistant to wear than traditional plating. With proper care—avoiding harsh impacts and abrasive surfaces—the finish will maintain its appearance for many years. Minor surface marks can occur with daily wear, which is normal for all PVD-coated watches.
Q: How do I adjust the bracelet to fit my wrist?
A: The stainless steel bracelet can be sized by removing links. We recommend having this done professionally at our Johannesburg showrooms to ensure proper fitting and to avoid damage to the pins and links. This complimentary service is available with your purchase.
Q: Are the chronograph sub-dials fully functional?
A: Yes, this is a genuine multifunction chronograph timepiece. The sub-dials provide elapsed time measurement functions, with pushers on the case side to start, stop, and reset the chronograph. Consult the instruction manual for specific operation of each sub-register.
Q: Is this watch suitable for formal occasions or only casual wear?
A: The DK113801-5's bold tonneau case and black IP finish make it exceptionally versatile. While it has sport chronograph styling, the rose gold accents and architectural case design allow it to transition effectively to smart-casual and even business-casual settings. It pairs particularly well with contemporary menswear.
Q: Does this watch come with the original Daniel Klein warranty?
A: Yes, when purchased from Cassims & Co. as an authorised Daniel Klein retailer, this timepiece includes the full 1-year manufacturer warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship. Warranty cards and documentation are included with your purchase.
Warranty
- This watch is covered by a 1-year Daniel Klein manufacturer warranty from the date of purchase when bought from an authorised retailer such as Cassims & Co.
- The warranty covers manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship under normal use conditions.
- The warranty does not cover: normal wear and tear, battery replacement, scratches or cosmetic damage to the case/crystal/bracelet, damage from accidents or misuse, water damage resulting from improper use or failure to ensure crown position, damage from unauthorised repairs or modifications, or loss/theft of the watch.
- To make a warranty claim, present your original proof of purchase and completed warranty card at Cassims & Co. or an authorised Daniel Klein service centre.
- Warranty service will be carried out at the discretion of Daniel Klein and may include repair or replacement of defective components.
- The warranty becomes void if the watch has been opened, repaired, or modified by unauthorised personnel.
- This warranty is valid only in South Africa through authorised Daniel Klein retailers and service centres.
- Water resistance is not a permanent condition and may be affected by ageing of gaskets or accidental impact. We recommend periodic pressure testing and seal replacement every 2-3 years to maintain water resistance, which is not covered under warranty as it is a maintenance service.
Care guide
- Avoid exposing the watch to extreme temperature changes, strong magnetic fields, or direct impacts that may affect the quartz movement accuracy.
- Wipe the case and bracelet regularly with a soft, lint-free cloth to remove perspiration, dirt, and oils that can accumulate over time.
- Do not operate the chronograph pushers or adjust the crown while the watch is wet or submerged, as this can compromise water resistance seals.
- For deeper cleaning of the bracelet, use a soft brush with mild soapy water, then rinse and dry thoroughly. Ensure the crown is fully pushed in before any water contact.
- Remove the watch before showering, swimming, or engaging in water sports, as 5 ATM resistance is not suitable for high-pressure water exposure.
- Avoid exposing the black ion plating to harsh chemicals, solvents, perfumes, or cleaning agents that may degrade the PVD coating over time.
- Store the watch in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not being worn. A watch box or soft pouch is ideal for preventing scratches.
- Have the battery replaced by an authorised service centre when the watch stops or shows signs of low power. Battery replacement should include a pressure test to ensure water resistance is maintained.
- If the watch requires servicing or adjustment, visit Cassims & Co. at Mall of the South or an authorised Daniel Klein service centre to preserve your warranty coverage.
- Avoid wearing the watch during high-impact activities or sports where strong shocks to the case may occur, as this can affect the movement and case integrity.
