The Daniel Klein Exclusive DK1.13976-3 delivers sophisticated chronograph functionality wrapped in a refined stainless steel case and five-link bracelet. The round 44mm case houses a striking petrol-blue sunray dial, its depth accentuated by contrasting silver hour markers and three precisely positioned sub-dials that track elapsed time with mechanical precision. Orange accents on the chronograph hands inject a subtle sporty edge into an otherwise formal design, while a tachymeter scale encircles the dial perimeter for speed measurement.
Powered by reliable quartz movement, this chronograph offers the practical timing capabilities expected of a multi-register watch without the maintenance demands of mechanical calibres. The polished stainless steel bracelet tapers elegantly from lugs to clasp, its links providing both comfort and visual weight. A date window at four o'clock completes the dial layout, ensuring this timepiece serves both aesthetic and functional purposes for daily wear.
At Cassims & Co., we stock the full range of DANIEL KLEIN watches as an authorised South African retailer, ensuring every purchase is backed by genuine manufacturer warranty and local after-sales support.

FAQ
Q: What does the chronograph function measure?
A: The chronograph sub-dials allow you to measure elapsed time intervals. The central chronograph seconds hand sweeps the dial, while the sub-registers track elapsed minutes and hours. The tachymeter scale on the outer dial ring can calculate speed based on time over a known distance.
Q: Is the DK1.13976-3 suitable for swimming?
A: No. With 30m (3 ATM) water resistance, this watch is splash-resistant for daily wear such as handwashing or light rain exposure. It is not suitable for swimming, showering, or any water immersion.
Q: How often does the quartz movement require battery replacement?
A: Quartz chronograph movements typically run for 18-24 months on a battery, though this varies with chronograph usage frequency. When replacement is needed, bring the watch to our Mall of the South store for professional battery service.
Q: Can the stainless steel bracelet be adjusted?
A: Yes. The five-link bracelet can be sized by removing links to achieve a comfortable fit. Our team at Cassims & Co. can perform bracelet adjustments at the time of purchase or any time thereafter.
Q: What is the tachymeter scale used for?
A: The tachymeter printed around the dial bezel allows you to calculate speed in kilometres per hour. Start the chronograph when passing a start marker, stop it after travelling one kilometre, and read the speed value where the chronograph seconds hand points on the tachymeter scale.
Q: Does this model come with a manufacturer warranty?
A: Yes. When purchased from Cassims & Co. as an authorised Daniel Klein retailer, this watch carries a 1-year manufacturer warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship. Full warranty terms are detailed in the Warranty tab.
Q: Is the Daniel Klein Exclusive collection available for viewing in-store?
A: Yes. Visit our Mall of the South boutique in Johannesburg to view the DK1.13976-3 alongside the full Daniel Klein range. Our consultants can demonstrate the chronograph functions and ensure proper bracelet fit before purchase.
Warranty
- This Daniel Klein watch is covered by a 1-year manufacturer warranty from the date of purchase when bought from an authorised retailer such as Cassims & Co.
- The warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship that arise under normal use conditions.
- The warranty does not cover damage caused by accidents, impacts, improper use, unauthorised repairs, or modifications.
- Normal wear and tear — including scratches to the case, crystal, or bracelet, and gradual fading of dial or hand luminosity — is not covered.
- Water damage resulting from misuse (swimming or submersion beyond the stated 30m rating, operating pushers or crown underwater, failure to secure the crown) is excluded.
- Battery replacement, bracelet adjustment, and routine servicing are considered maintenance and are not covered under warranty.
- To claim warranty service, present your original proof of purchase. Warranty service is handled through authorised Daniel Klein service centres.
- For warranty claims or technical queries, contact the Cassims & Co. team at our Mall of the South store or via our website.
Care Guide
- Wipe the stainless steel case and bracelet regularly with a soft, lint-free cloth to remove oils, perspiration, and dust that accumulate during daily wear.
- Avoid exposing the watch to strong magnetic fields (speakers, magnetic clasps, MRI equipment), which can affect quartz movement accuracy.
- Do not operate the chronograph pushers or adjust the crown while the watch is wet, as moisture may enter the case.
- Remove the watch before showering, swimming, or engaging in water sports — 30m water resistance is sufficient only for splash resistance, not immersion.
- For deeper cleaning of the bracelet, use a soft brush with mild soapy water, then dry thoroughly with a soft cloth. Ensure the crown is fully pushed in before any water contact.
- Store the watch in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight when not in use to preserve dial and hand colours.
- Have the battery replaced by a qualified watchmaker when the chronograph begins to lose accuracy or stops — do not allow a depleted battery to remain in the case, as leakage can damage the movement.
- Schedule periodic inspection of the case seals and gaskets if you regularly expose the watch to moisture, even within its splash-resistant rating.
