Description
The Daniel Klein Exclusive DK1.14006-3 delivers bold chronograph styling with a distinctive two-tone case construction that sets it apart from conventional sport watches. The round stainless steel case measures approximately 44mm in diameter, balanced by a substantial gunmetal-grey bezel that frames the striking ice-blue dial. Three sub-dials track elapsed minutes and seconds for the chronograph function, while a vivid red central seconds hand adds a vibrant accent against the cool backdrop. Applied indices and sword-style hour markers ensure legibility, complemented by luminous hands for low-light visibility.
Powered by a reliable Japanese quartz chronograph movement, this timepiece demands minimal maintenance while delivering precise timekeeping and stopwatch functionality at the press of the dual pushers flanking the crown. The crown itself sits at 3 o'clock, its ridged profile offering secure grip for time-setting. Water resistance to 30 metres protects the movement from incidental splashes, though the watch is not intended for swimming or diving.
The two-tone aesthetic extends to the integrated black rubber strap, which features embossed croc-pattern detailing and contrast stitching that mirrors the case finishing. The strap secures via a signed tang buckle and tapers comfortably to approximately 20mm at the wrist, offering both sporty flexibility and secure fit. This construction suits active wear while maintaining a refined enough profile for smart-casual occasions.
For those drawn to contemporary chronographs with a design-led edge, the DK1.14006-3 offers accessible Swiss-inspired styling without the four-figure commitment. Its ice-blue dial is particularly suited to wearers seeking a departure from ubiquitous black or white faces, while the grey bezel tempers any potential flash.

Available to view at our Mall of the South and Greenstone showrooms, or order online for delivery across South Africa.

FAQ
Q: What does the chronograph function do?
A: The chronograph is a stopwatch function built into the watch. The two pushers beside the crown start, stop, and reset the central red seconds hand and the two sub-dial counters, allowing you to time events up to several hours with precision to the second.
Q: Can I wear this watch while swimming?
A: No. The 30m water resistance rating protects the movement from rain, hand-washing, and incidental splashes, but the watch is not suitable for swimming, showering, or any water immersion. For aquatic activities, a minimum of 100m resistance is recommended.
Q: How do I operate the chronograph pushers?
A: Press the top pusher once to start the chronograph. Press it again to stop. Press the bottom pusher to reset all chronograph hands to zero. Avoid operating the pushers underwater or when the crown is pulled out, as this may compromise the seal.
Q: Will the rubber strap cause skin irritation?
A: The strap is made from hypoallergenic rubber designed for prolonged skin contact. If you have known sensitivities to synthetic materials, test the watch for short periods initially. Keep the strap and your wrist clean and dry to minimise any reaction risk.
Q: How often does the battery need replacing?
A: Quartz chronograph batteries typically last 2-3 years depending on how frequently you use the chronograph function, which draws more power than standard timekeeping. Our Johannesburg showrooms offer battery replacement services — contact our team for current turnaround and pricing.
Q: Is the dial colour truly blue or more of a grey?
A: The dial is a pale ice-blue shade — distinctly blue under most lighting, but with a cool, muted tone rather than a vivid navy or royal blue. In low light it may appear silvery-grey. The product image represents the colour accurately.
Q: Can the strap be replaced with a different style?
A: Yes, provided the replacement strap uses the same lug width (approximately 22mm). Standard spring-bar tools will allow you to swap the rubber strap for leather, NATO, or another rubber design. Our team can advise on compatible options if you wish to customise the look.
Warranty
- This watch is covered by a 1-year Daniel Klein manufacturer warranty from the date of purchase.
- The warranty is valid only when the watch is purchased from an authorised Daniel Klein retailer.
- Coverage includes manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship under normal use.
- The warranty does not cover: normal wear and tear; battery depletion or replacement; damage caused by accident, misuse, or improper handling; water damage resulting from failure to observe the stated water resistance limits; unauthorised repairs or modifications; or damage to the strap or crystal from daily wear.
- To make a warranty claim, present your original proof of purchase along with the watch to our Johannesburg showrooms or contact our customer service team for guidance.
- Warranty service may require the watch to be sent to an authorised service centre; turnaround times vary depending on the nature of the defect.
Care guide
- Wipe the case and strap with a soft, dry cloth after each wear to remove perspiration, dust, and oils.
- For the rubber strap, occasional cleaning with mild soap and lukewarm water will restore suppleness and remove built-up grime. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely before wearing.
- Never operate the chronograph pushers or pull out the crown while the watch is wet or submerged, as water may enter the case.
- Avoid exposing the watch to extreme temperatures, strong magnetic fields, or harsh chemicals including solvents, perfumes, and chlorine.
- Store the watch in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. A watch box or soft pouch will protect the crystal from scratches.
- Have the battery replaced by a qualified watchmaker as soon as timekeeping becomes erratic or the chronograph stops functioning. A depleted battery left in the case can leak and corrode the movement.
- If the watch suffers impact or water ingress, bring it to our servicing team immediately for inspection to prevent long-term damage.
