The Daniel Klein Premium DK112982-5 is a sophisticated dual time zone watch crafted for the discerning traveller and modern professional. This 44mm quartz timepiece features a striking silver-toned dial with a textured guilloché finish, displaying two independent time zones—a practical complication for international business or coordinating with loved ones across continents. The dial layout is thoughtfully segmented, with 'TIME 1' and 'TIME 2' sub-dials offering clear legibility, complemented by applied Roman numeral and baton indices with bold luminescent accents at 12, 3, 6, and 9 o'clock.
Housed in a polished stainless steel case with elegantly integrated crown guards at 2 and 10 o'clock for independent time zone adjustment, this watch pairs technical functionality with refined aesthetics. The black genuine leather strap with contrast stitching and traditional pin buckle clasp ensures comfortable all-day wear, whether you're navigating boardrooms or exploring new cities. At Cassims & Co., we are proud to offer the full range of DANIEL KLEIN watches as an authorised retailer, ensuring authenticity and full manufacturer warranty coverage.
Powered by a reliable Japanese quartz movement, the DK112982-5 delivers precise timekeeping without the maintenance requirements of mechanical calibres. The mineral crystal provides scratch resistance for everyday durability, while the 5ATM water resistance rating protects against splashes and brief immersion—suitable for handwashing and rain exposure, though not recommended for swimming or showering. This watch is positioned as an accessible luxury piece, offering genuine complications and premium finishing at an attainable price point of R999.00, making it an exceptional value proposition for those seeking Swiss-inspired design without the premium price tag.

FAQ
Q: How do I set the dual time zones on this watch?
A: The DK112982-5 features two crowns—one at the 2 o'clock position and another at 10 o'clock. Each crown independently controls its respective time zone display (TIME 1 and TIME 2). Pull the crown out to the time-setting position and rotate to adjust hours and minutes for each zone. This allows you to track home time and a destination time zone simultaneously.
Q: Is this watch suitable for swimming or showering?
A: While the watch is rated to 5ATM (50 metres), this indicates resistance to splashes, rain, and brief immersion only. We do not recommend swimming, showering, or exposing the watch to hot water, as the leather strap will be damaged and water resistance seals can be compromised by temperature changes and soap. The rating is suitable for everyday wear and handwashing.
Q: How often will I need to replace the battery?
A: Japanese quartz movements typically provide 2-3 years of battery life depending on usage. When the watch begins losing time or the seconds hand starts jumping in 2-second intervals, it's time for a battery replacement. Our servicing team at Cassims & Co. can perform this service quickly and affordably, and we recommend having the water resistance seals checked during battery changes.
Q: Can I replace the leather strap with a different style?
A: Yes, the watch uses a standard strap attachment, and we can fit alternative leather straps or NATO-style fabric straps at our Mall of the South boutique. The lug width is standard for a 44mm case (typically 22mm), allowing for a wide variety of aftermarket strap options to personalise your watch.
Q: What is the accuracy of the Japanese quartz movement?
A: Japanese quartz movements are renowned for exceptional accuracy, typically running within ±15 seconds per month. This is significantly more precise than most mechanical movements, making quartz ideal for those who prioritise timekeeping accuracy and low maintenance. The movement requires no winding and will run continuously until battery replacement is needed.
Q: Is this watch covered by a warranty when purchased from Cassims & Co.?
A: Yes, this watch carries a full 1-year Daniel Klein manufacturer warranty from the date of purchase, covering manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship. As an authorised Daniel Klein retailer, all our watches come with valid warranty documentation. The warranty does not cover normal wear, battery replacement, accidental damage, or water damage due to misuse.
Q: What makes the Daniel Klein Premium collection different from standard Daniel Klein models?
A: The Premium collection features enhanced finishing details such as textured guilloché dials, applied indices rather than printed markers, superior case polishing, and genuine leather straps with contrast stitching. These models also incorporate more complex dial layouts and complications like the dual time zone function seen here, positioning them as elevated offerings within the Daniel Klein portfolio.
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 such as Cassims & Co.
- Warranty coverage includes manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship affecting the movement, case, crystal, and original strap.

- Water damage resulting from misuse, including swimming or showering beyond the stated 5ATM rating, is excluded from warranty coverage.
- Accidental damage, impacts, dropping, or damage from improper use voids the warranty.
- The warranty is void if the watch has been opened, repaired, or modified by any unauthorised service centre.

- Warranty service may require the watch to be sent to an authorised Daniel Klein service centre, and reasonable service timeframes apply.
Care Guide
- Wipe the stainless steel case regularly with a soft, lint-free cloth to remove fingerprints, dust, and oils that can dull the polished finish.
- Avoid exposing the leather strap to water, moisture, perfumes, or direct sunlight, as these will cause premature deterioration, discolouration, and cracking.
- Remove the watch before showering, swimming, or participating in water sports to protect both the leather strap and internal movement from water damage.
- Store the watch in a cool, dry environment away from direct sunlight when not in use—a watch box or soft pouch is ideal to prevent scratches.
- If the leather strap becomes soiled, wipe gently with a slightly damp cloth and allow to air dry completely before wearing.
- Have the battery replaced by a professional watchmaker when the watch stops or loses accuracy—never attempt to open the case back yourself, as this voids the warranty and compromises water resistance.
- During battery replacement, request that water resistance seals be inspected and replaced if necessary to maintain the 5ATM rating.
- Avoid exposing the watch to strong magnetic fields (speakers, mobile phones, magnetic clasps) as this can affect quartz movement accuracy.
- Service the watch every 3-5 years for complete movement cleaning, seal replacement, and case refinishing to maintain optimal performance and appearance.
- Do not adjust the time zone crowns while the watch is wet or in water, as this can compromise the crown seals and allow moisture ingress.
