The Daniel Klein Exclusive DK.1.13853-5 is a bold statement in contemporary sports watchmaking, delivering precision quartz chronograph functionality within a commanding 44mm black-coated case. This timepiece pairs technical capability with striking visual contrast: a black dial enhanced by luminous indices and three chronograph sub-dials, all punctuated by a vibrant orange central seconds hand that echoes the watch's distinctive orange silicone strap. The tachymetre bezel and multi-function markings underscore its sporting pedigree, whilst the sapphire crystal ensures clarity and scratch resistance. Water-resistant to 50 metres (5 ATM), this watch handles everyday exposure to moisture with confidence, making it equally suited to the boardroom and the weekend adventure.
At Cassims & Co., we are proud to be an authorised retailer for DANIEL KLEIN watches, ensuring every timepiece we offer is backed by genuine warranty protection and after-sales support. The DK.1.13853-5 exemplifies Daniel Klein's Exclusive collection philosophy: accessible luxury that doesn't compromise on design or reliability. The robust silicone strap provides all-day comfort and exceptional durability, whilst the black ion-plated case finish resists everyday wear. This chronograph movement allows you to measure elapsed time with precision, whether you're timing laps, meetings, or simply appreciating the mechanical elegance of a well-executed complication.
The dial architecture is meticulously considered, with applied indices and hands treated with luminescent material for low-light legibility. The date window positioned at 4 o'clock maintains the dial's symmetry, whilst the contrasting orange accents create visual energy without sacrificing readability. This is a watch designed for the modern South African gentleman who values both function and form, who understands that a timepiece is more than mere timekeeping—it's a reflection of character and considered choice. Visit us at our Mall of the South boutique to experience this chronograph in person, where our knowledgeable team can discuss sizing, functionality, and care. Should you require battery replacement or strap adjustment in future, our watch servicing and repairs team is always on hand to ensure your Daniel Klein continues performing flawlessly for years to come.

FAQ
Q: What functions does the chronograph on this Daniel Klein watch provide?
A: The chronograph complication allows you to measure elapsed time independently of the main timekeeping function. The three sub-dials track running seconds, chronograph minutes, and chronograph hours, whilst the tachymetre bezel enables speed calculation over a known distance. The chronograph is operated via the two pushers flanking the crown.
Q: Is this watch suitable for swimming or water sports?
A: With 50-metre (5 ATM) water resistance, this watch can withstand splashes, rain, and brief immersion such as handwashing or accidental submersion. However, it is not suitable for swimming, diving, or showering. The silicone strap handles moisture excellently, but we recommend avoiding prolonged water exposure to preserve the movement and seals.
Q: How long will the battery last in this quartz chronograph?
A: Quartz chronograph movements typically require battery replacement every 18-24 months, depending on usage frequency of the chronograph function. Heavy chronograph use will drain the battery faster than standard timekeeping alone. We offer professional battery replacement services at our Mall of the South boutique to ensure water resistance is maintained after servicing.
Q: Can the orange silicone strap be replaced if it becomes worn?
A: Yes, the strap features a standard lug width and can be replaced. Whilst genuine Daniel Klein replacement straps maintain the original design integrity, aftermarket straps in different colours or materials can personalise your watch. We can assist with strap sourcing and fitting at our store.
Q: What does the tachymetre bezel measure?
A: The tachymetre scale on the bezel allows you to calculate speed over a known distance (typically one kilometre or mile). Start the chronograph at a fixed point, stop it when you reach the end point, and read the tachymetre value where the chronograph seconds hand points—this indicates your average speed. It's a classic motorsport complication.
Q: Is this watch covered by an international warranty?
A: Yes, as an authorised Daniel Klein retailer, Cassims & Co. provides a full 1-year international Daniel Klein warranty with this timepiece. The warranty covers manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship when purchased from an authorised dealer. Proof of purchase from Cassims & Co. activates your warranty coverage.
Q: How should I adjust the chronograph functions correctly?
A: The top pusher starts and stops the chronograph timing, whilst the bottom pusher resets the chronograph hands to zero. Never operate the reset pusher whilst the chronograph is running, as this can damage the movement mechanism. Always stop the chronograph first, then reset. For detailed operation instructions, consult the manual provided with your watch or visit our boutique for a demonstration.
Warranty
- This Daniel Klein watch is covered by a 1-year international warranty from the date of purchase, valid when purchased 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, strap wear, scratches to the case or crystal, accidental damage, water damage resulting from misuse or failure to observe water resistance limits, or damage caused by unauthorised repairs or modifications.
- Water resistance is not a permanent condition and may be affected by ageing of gaskets, accidental impact, or improper use—pressure testing after battery replacement is recommended but not covered under warranty.
- To claim warranty service, please present your original proof of purchase from Cassims & Co. Warranty service must be performed by an authorised Daniel Klein service centre or through Cassims & Co.
- This warranty is provided by Daniel Klein and administered through authorised retailers—it does not affect your statutory rights under South African consumer protection law.
Care Guide
- Wipe the case, crystal, and silicone strap regularly with a soft, lint-free microfibre cloth to remove perspiration, dust, and oils.
- The silicone strap can be cleaned with mild soap and lukewarm water when needed—rinse thoroughly and dry completely before wearing.
- Avoid exposing the watch to extreme temperatures, strong magnetic fields, chemicals, solvents, or perfumes, which can affect timekeeping accuracy and finish.
- Although water-resistant to 50 metres, do not operate the crown or chronograph pushers whilst the watch is wet or submerged, as this compromises the seals.
- Have the battery replaced by a professional watchmaker when the seconds hand begins to jump in two-second intervals (end-of-life indicator), and request a pressure test to verify water resistance is maintained.
- Store the watch in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use—a watch box or soft pouch is ideal to prevent scratches.
- Avoid impacts and knocks, particularly to the chronograph pushers and crown, which house delicate mechanisms.
- The black ion-plated case finish is durable but can show wear over time with heavy abrasion—handle with care to preserve the coating.
- If you do not plan to wear the watch for an extended period, consider stopping the movement (pull the crown to the time-setting position) to conserve battery life.
