The Daniel Klein Exclusive DK113973-5 is a sophisticated chronograph timepiece that combines contemporary design with accessible luxury. The silver-toned dial features three sub-dials displaying multifunction capabilities, complemented by a striking red central seconds hand and a black tachymeter bezel for measuring speed over distance. At Cassim & Co., we are proud to present this timepiece as authorised retailers of DANIEL KLEIN watches, ensuring authenticity and full manufacturer warranty coverage with every purchase.
Housed in a polished stainless steel case measuring 43mm in diameter, this watch strikes an ideal balance between presence and wearability. The genuine brown crocodile-embossed leather strap with contrast stitching delivers both comfort and refinement, secured by a traditional pin buckle closure. A mineral crystal protects the dial whilst maintaining clarity, and the watch offers water resistance to 3 ATM (30 metres), suitable for everyday wear and light splashes.
The multifunction chronograph layout features three counters with black sub-dials that create visual depth against the metallic silver main dial. Arabic numeral hour markers at 12 o'clock and bold indices throughout ensure excellent legibility, whilst the bi-directional rotating bezel with its 60-minute scale adds a sporty character. This versatile timepiece transitions seamlessly from business meetings to weekend occasions, offering exceptional value for the discerning South African gentleman.

FAQ
Q: Is this watch suitable for swimming or showering?
A: No. With 3 ATM water resistance, the DK113973-5 is designed to withstand light splashes and brief exposure to water, such as handwashing or rain. It is not suitable for swimming, showering, or any water sports. Remove the watch before contact with water to preserve the leather strap and movement integrity.
Q: How do I operate the chronograph functions on this watch?
A: The chronograph is controlled via the pushers flanking the crown. The top pusher typically starts and stops the chronograph timing function, whilst the bottom pusher resets the counters to zero. The sub-dials display elapsed seconds, minutes, and hours depending on the specific configuration. Consult the instruction manual for detailed operation specific to this model.
Q: What type of battery does this watch use and how long will it last?
A: This Daniel Klein quartz watch uses a standard watch battery. Battery life typically ranges from 18 to 36 months depending on usage of the chronograph functions. When replacement is needed, visit Cassim & Co. at Mall of the South where our team can replace the battery professionally whilst checking the water resistance seals.
Q: Can the leather strap be replaced if it wears out?
A: Yes, absolutely. The strap features standard spring bar attachments and can be replaced with any 20mm or 22mm leather or alternative strap (please confirm lug width with our team). We stock a selection of quality replacement straps and can fit them for you at our Mall of the South boutique.
Q: Is this an automatic or battery-powered watch?
A: The DK113973-5 is powered by a reliable quartz movement, which means it operates on battery power. This ensures excellent accuracy, low maintenance, and eliminates the need for daily winding or constant wear to keep the watch running.
Q: Does this watch come with the original Daniel Klein box and papers?
A: Yes. As authorised Daniel Klein retailers, we supply this timepiece in its original presentation packaging with all accompanying documentation, warranty card, and instruction manual, ensuring full authenticity and manufacturer warranty coverage.
Q: What is the tachymeter bezel used for?
A: The tachymeter scale on the bezel allows you to measure average speed over a known distance. For example, if you measure the time it takes to travel one kilometre using the chronograph, the tachymeter reading will indicate your average speed in kilometres per hour. It's a classic complication for motorsport enthusiasts.

Care Guide
- Avoid exposure to water beyond light splashes. Remove the watch before swimming, showering, or water sports.
- Keep the leather strap dry. If the strap becomes wet, pat dry immediately with a soft cloth and allow to air dry naturally away from direct heat.
- Store your watch in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not wearing it to preserve the leather strap and prevent dial discolouration.
- Avoid exposure to strong magnetic fields from speakers, mobile phones, and magnetic clasps, as these can affect timekeeping accuracy.
- Have the battery replaced by a professional watchmaker when the watch stops or displays irregular timekeeping. Do not leave a depleted battery in the watch as it may leak and damage the movement.
- Clean the stainless steel case gently with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
- Condition the leather strap periodically with a leather care product designed for watch straps to maintain suppleness and appearance.
- Avoid impacts and knocks that may damage the case, crystal, or internal movement.
- Do not operate the chronograph pushers whilst the watch is wet or underwater, even within its water resistance rating.
- Have your watch inspected annually at Cassim & Co. to ensure optimal performance and longevity.
