The Daniel Klein Exclusive DK113848-3 is a commanding men's chronograph that combines robust engineering with contemporary urban styling. Housed in a substantial 45mm black IP-coated stainless steel case, this timepiece features a striking blue multi-layer dial with applied luminous indices, three chronograph sub-dials displaying day, date, and 24-hour indications, and a distinctive architectural bridge at 3 o'clock. The matching black IP steel bracelet flows seamlessly from the case, creating a cohesive, modern aesthetic that transitions effortlessly from boardroom to weekend.
Powered by a reliable Japanese quartz movement, the DK113848-3 offers precision timekeeping with multifunction complications that enhance both practicality and visual depth. The mineral crystal protects the complex dial architecture, while 5ATM water resistance provides confidence for daily wear.

FAQ
Q: What complications does the Daniel Klein DK113848-3 offer?
A: This chronograph features three sub-dials displaying day of the week, date, and 24-hour time indication. The chronograph function allows you to time events, whilst the multifunction layout provides comprehensive daily information at a glance. Orange accent hands on the sub-dials enhance legibility and add visual interest to the complex dial architecture.
Q: Is the 45mm case size suitable for smaller wrists?
A: The 45mm case diameter positions this watch in the contemporary oversized category, best suited to medium to larger wrists (approximately 17cm circumference and above). The black IP coating and integrated bracelet design help balance the visual weight. We recommend trying the watch on at our Mall of the South boutique to assess comfort and proportion for your specific wrist size.
Q: Can I wear this watch whilst swimming or showering?
A: With 5ATM (50 metres) water resistance, the DK113848-3 can withstand splashes, rain, and brief immersion such as handwashing. However, it is not suitable for swimming, showering, or water sports. The chronograph pushers should never be operated when the watch is wet or submerged, as this can compromise the seal and void the warranty.
Q: What type of battery does this quartz watch use?
A: The Daniel Klein DK113848-3 uses a standard quartz watch battery, typically lasting 2-3 years depending on chronograph usage. When replacement is needed, visit Cassim & Co. for professional battery service. Our technicians will replace the battery, test the water resistance seals, and ensure the watch is functioning correctly before returning it to you.
Q: How do I adjust the bracelet to fit my wrist?
A: The black IP steel bracelet features removable links that can be adjusted for a perfect fit. We offer complimentary sizing service with your purchase at our Mall of the South store. If you've purchased online and require adjustment, you can visit us in person or consult a qualified watchmaker. We recommend professional adjustment to prevent damage to the IP coating.
Q: What is the difference between mineral crystal and sapphire crystal?
A: This watch features mineral crystal, a hardened glass that offers good scratch resistance for everyday wear at an accessible price point. Whilst not as scratch-resistant as sapphire crystal (found on luxury timepieces), mineral crystal provides excellent clarity and durability for this price segment. Avoid contact with abrasive surfaces to maintain the crystal's pristine appearance.
Q: Does this watch come with the full Daniel Klein warranty?
A: Yes. As an authorised Daniel Klein retailer, every DK113848-3 purchased from Cassim & Co. includes the complete 1-year manufacturer warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship. The warranty card will be completed and stamped at the time of purchase. This warranty is only valid when purchased from authorised retailers and does not cover battery replacement, normal wear, or accidental damage.
Warranty
- Manufacturer Warranty: This Daniel Klein watch is covered by a 1-year manufacturer warranty from the date of purchase when bought from an authorised retailer.
- Coverage: The warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship under normal use conditions. This includes manufacturing faults in the movement, case, dial, hands, and bracelet.
- Exclusions: The warranty does not cover normal wear and tear, battery replacement, scratches or cosmetic damage to the case, crystal, or bracelet, water damage resulting from misuse or failure to observe water resistance limitations, damage from accidents, impacts, or improper handling, or any damage caused by unauthorised service or repairs.
- 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 is required for all warranty claims.
- Warranty Claims: To make a warranty claim, return the watch with the completed warranty card and original proof of purchase to Cassim & Co. We will assess the watch and liaise with Daniel Klein on your behalf to arrange repair or replacement as appropriate.

- Water Resistance: Water resistance is not a permanent condition and may be affected by aging of gaskets or accidental impact. We recommend having water resistance tested during battery replacement or servicing.
Care Guide
- Daily Care: Wipe the case and bracelet with a soft, lint-free cloth after wearing to remove perspiration, dust, and oils that can dull the black IP finish over time.
- Water Exposure: Whilst the watch has 5ATM water resistance, avoid operating the chronograph pushers or crown when wet. Do not wear whilst swimming, showering, or engaging in water sports.
- Chemical Protection: Keep away from solvents, perfumes, cosmetics, cleaning products, and chlorinated water, which can damage the IP coating, seals, and dial finish.
- Storage: When not worn, store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and magnetic fields. A watch box or pouch will protect against scratches and dust accumulation.
- Bracelet Maintenance: The black IP steel bracelet can be cleaned periodically with a soft brush and mild soapy water, then dried thoroughly with a soft cloth. Ensure the crown is fully pushed in before any contact with water.
- Impact Avoidance: Although robustly constructed, avoid impacts and dropping the watch, as these can damage the quartz movement, crystal, or compromise water resistance seals.
- Service Schedule: Have the battery replaced by a qualified watchmaker every 2-3 years or when timekeeping becomes irregular. Professional service ensures water resistance integrity is maintained and seals are replaced as needed.
- IP Coating Care: The black ion-plated finish is durable but not indestructible. Avoid abrasive surfaces and materials that could scratch through the coating to the base metal beneath.
