The Daniel Klein Exclusive DK113973-3 presents a compelling blend of contemporary design and accessible Swiss-inspired precision. Its distinctive green dial, rendered in a rich sunburst finish, anchors three chronograph sub-dials that track elapsed time with clarity and purpose. The 43mm stainless steel case is polished to a mirror finish, while the unidirectional rotating bezel with raised numerals adds both functional utility and visual depth. Applied indices and hands are generously filled with luminous material for legibility in low-light conditions, whilst the oversized Arabic numeral at 12 o'clock provides immediate orientation.
Powered by a reliable Japanese quartz chronograph movement, this timepiece delivers accuracy within seconds per month without the maintenance demands of mechanical calibres. The chocolate-brown embossed leather strap, styled to evoke crocodile texture, is secured with a traditional pin buckle and complements the verdant dial with earthy sophistication. A mineral crystal protects the dial from everyday wear, whilst the screw-down crown enhances water resistance to 3 ATM (30 metres), suitable for incidental splashes but not submersion or swimming.
At Cassim & Co., we are proud to be an authorised retailer for DANIEL KLEIN watches, ensuring every timepiece is backed by full manufacturer warranty and genuine after-sales support. This chronograph represents exceptional value for those seeking a statement dress watch with functional complications at an accessible price point. The green dial trend continues to dominate contemporary horology, and this execution balances boldness with wearability across both formal and smart-casual wardrobes.
Whether you're timing a presentation, tracking a journey, or simply appreciating the visual rhythm of mechanical motion translated to quartz precision, the DK113973-3 delivers. Visit us at our Mall of the South boutique to experience the dial's depth in person, and our watch servicing and repairs team is always available to assist with battery replacements, strap changes, or any adjustment you may require throughout your ownership journey. We offer secure nationwide delivery across South Africa for those unable to visit in person.

FAQ
Q: Is this watch suitable for swimming or showering?
A: No. With 3 ATM (30 metres) water resistance, the DK113973-3 can withstand incidental splashes such as handwashing or light rain, but it is not designed for swimming, showering, or submersion. The chronograph pushers should never be operated when the watch is wet, as this can compromise the seal.
Q: How does the chronograph function work?
A: The chronograph is operated via the pushers flanking the crown. The top pusher starts and stops the timing function, whilst the bottom pusher resets the chronograph hands to zero. The three sub-dials typically display elapsed seconds, minutes, and hours, though exact configuration should be confirmed in the original packaging literature.
Q: What battery does this watch use and how long will it last?
A: This quartz chronograph typically uses a standard silver oxide cell (commonly SR626SW or similar). Battery life ranges from 18 to 36 months depending on chronograph usage frequency. We recommend battery replacement by a qualified watchmaker to maintain water resistance integrity—visit our Mall of the South boutique for this service.
Q: Can the leather strap be replaced or adjusted?
A: Yes. The leather strap can be shortened by removing links at the buckle, or replaced entirely with any standard strap matching the lug width (measurement available upon request). We stock a range of compatible leather and NATO straps and can fit them complimentary with purchase.
Q: Is Daniel Klein a Swiss brand?
A: Daniel Klein is a fashion watch brand with European design heritage. Whilst not a Swiss manufacture, the brand employs reliable Japanese quartz movements and offers accessible styling inspired by higher-end Swiss chronographs. The focus is on design, value, and wearability rather than haute horlogerie.
Q: Does this watch come with original packaging and papers?
A: Yes. Every Daniel Klein timepiece from Cassim & Co. arrives in original brand packaging with all accompanying documentation, warranty card, and instruction manual. This ensures authenticity and enables warranty claims through authorised channels.
Q: What is the advantage of a unidirectional bezel on this watch?
A: The unidirectional rotating bezel (which turns only counter-clockwise) is a safety feature borrowed from dive watch design. It allows you to track elapsed time by aligning the bezel's zero marker with the minute hand. Because it only rotates in one direction, accidental knocks can only decrease measured time, never increase it—preventing dangerous miscalculations.
Warranty
- Warranty Period: This watch is covered by a 1-year manufacturer warranty from Daniel Klein, valid from the date of purchase.
- Warranty Coverage: The warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship under normal use. This includes movement malfunction, case or crystal defects, and strap/bracelet manufacturing faults.
- Exclusions: The warranty does not cover normal wear and tear, battery replacement, scratches or cosmetic damage, water damage resulting from misuse (swimming/showering beyond stated resistance, operating pushers underwater), damage from impact or accidents, unauthorised repairs or modifications, or damage from magnetic fields or extreme temperatures.
- Claim Process: Warranty claims must be accompanied by the original proof of purchase and warranty card. The watch must be returned to an authorised Daniel Klein retailer—Cassim & Co. will facilitate all warranty claims on your behalf.
- Authorised Retailer Requirement: This warranty is valid only when the watch is purchased from an authorised Daniel Klein retailer such as Cassim & Co. Watches purchased from unauthorised sellers, grey market dealers, or private parties are not eligible for manufacturer warranty.
- Additional Support: Beyond the manufacturer warranty, Cassim & Co. provides lifetime after-sales support including battery replacements, strap adjustments, and general maintenance at competitive rates.
Care Guide
- Daily Wear: Avoid impact, extreme temperatures, and magnetic fields (speakers, laptops, magnetic clasps). Remove the watch during high-impact sports or heavy manual labour.
- Water Exposure: Never operate the chronograph pushers or crown when the watch is wet or submerged. Dry the case and crown thoroughly after any moisture exposure. Do not wear whilst swimming, showering, or diving.
- Leather Strap Care: Leather is a natural material that will patina with age. Avoid prolonged water contact, direct sunlight, and harsh chemicals (perfumes, lotions, cleaning products). Condition periodically with leather cream to prevent cracking. Rotate with other watches to allow the strap to breathe and dry between wears.
- Crystal Maintenance: The mineral crystal is scratch-resistant but not scratchproof. Avoid contact with abrasive surfaces. Clean with a soft, lint-free microfibre cloth. Do not use solvents or abrasive cleaners.
- Movement Care: Quartz movements require no winding but should have the battery replaced promptly when the watch stops. A depleted battery left inside can leak and damage the movement. We recommend professional battery replacement every 2-3 years to maintain water resistance seals.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry environment away from direct sunlight. Use the original box or a watch roll. Do not store near magnets or in humid conditions (bathrooms).
- Professional Servicing: We recommend a professional inspection every 3-5 years, including gasket replacement, case refinishing if desired, and water resistance testing. Visit Cassim & Co. for all servicing needs.
