The Ingersoll The Ollie I14502 represents a bold departure from convention, blending contemporary design with transparent mechanical artistry. This 42mm automatic watch features a distinctive square case crafted from stainless steel with rose gold PVD accents, creating a sophisticated two-tone aesthetic that commands attention. The skeletal dial reveals the intricate workings of the automatic movement beneath, offering a mesmerising view of horological engineering with each glance at the wrist.
At the heart of this timepiece lies a reliable automatic movement, eliminating the need for battery replacements while celebrating the traditional craft of watchmaking. The skeleton construction exposes bridges, wheels, and the oscillating balance, transforming the dial into a three-dimensional canvas of mechanical beauty. The silver-toned components contrast elegantly against the open architecture, while rose gold-toned hands sweep across the display with precision. The square bezel, secured with visible screws, reinforces the industrial-modern character that defines The Ollie collection.
Built for daily wear, the I14502 offers 5 ATM (50 metres) water resistance, protecting against splashes and brief immersion. The integrated two-tone bracelet mirrors the case construction, alternating brushed stainless steel with polished rose gold centre links for a refined finish. With a case depth of 13.7mm, this watch maintains a comfortable profile suitable for both formal occasions and everyday sophistication. At Cassim & Co., we are proud to offer this distinctive timepiece as an authorised Ingersoll retailer, ensuring authenticity and full manufacturer warranty coverage.

FAQ
Q: Does this watch require battery changes?
A: No. The Ingersoll I14502 features an automatic movement powered by the natural motion of your wrist. When worn regularly, it will maintain its power reserve without ever requiring a battery. If the watch stops due to inactivity, simply wind it manually or wear it to restart the mechanism.
Q: Can I see the movement working through the dial?
A: Yes, absolutely. The Ollie I14502 features a fully skeletonised dial that reveals the intricate workings of the automatic movement. You can observe the balance wheel oscillating, the gear train rotating, and the mechanical components in constant motion—a captivating display of horological craftsmanship.
Q: Is the rose gold colour permanent or will it fade?
A: The rose gold elements are created using PVD (Physical Vapour Deposition) coating, an industrial process that bonds the colour to the stainless steel at a molecular level. This creates a durable, long-lasting finish that resists fading, scratching, and tarnishing far better than traditional plating methods when properly cared for.
Q: What does 5 ATM water resistance mean for daily use?
A: 5 ATM (50 metres) means this watch is suitable for everyday activities including handwashing, light rain, and accidental splashes. It is not suitable for swimming, showering, or any water sports. We recommend avoiding the crown while the watch is wet and never operating it underwater.
Q: Will this square case fit comfortably on smaller wrists?
A: At 42mm across, The Ollie has a moderate square profile that typically suits wrist sizes from 16cm upwards. The square shape can wear slightly larger than a round watch of the same diameter. We recommend trying it on at our Mall of the South boutique to ensure the perfect fit, and our team can adjust the bracelet sizing on the spot.
Q: How often should an automatic watch be serviced?
A: Automatic watches generally benefit from professional servicing every 3-5 years, depending on usage and environmental conditions. This involves cleaning, lubricating, and testing the movement to ensure optimal performance. Our watch servicing team can advise on the specific needs of your Ingersoll timepiece.
Q: Can the bracelet be adjusted to fit my wrist?
A: Yes. The integrated stainless steel bracelet can be professionally sized by removing or adding links. When you purchase from Cassim & Co., we offer complimentary bracelet sizing at our Mall of the South store, ensuring a perfect, comfortable fit before you leave with your new watch.

Care Guide
- Clean the case and bracelet regularly with a soft, lint-free cloth to remove fingerprints, dust, and perspiration buildup
- For deeper cleaning of the two-tone bracelet, use lukewarm water with mild soap and a soft brush, ensuring the crown is fully pushed in; dry thoroughly immediately after
- Avoid exposing the watch to extreme temperatures, strong magnetic fields, or harsh chemicals including perfumes, solvents, and cleaning agents
- Do not operate the crown or pushers while the watch is wet or submerged, as this can compromise water resistance
- Store your watch in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not wearing it; a watch box or pouch is ideal
- If you will not be wearing the watch for an extended period, wind it manually once every two weeks to keep the movement lubricated and functioning properly
- Although the PVD coating is durable, avoid impact against hard surfaces to prevent scratches on both the case and crystal
- Have the water resistance tested annually if you expose the watch to moisture regularly, as gaskets can degrade over time
- Never attempt to open the case back yourself, as this will void the warranty and may introduce dust or moisture into the movement
- For any servicing, repairs, or technical questions, consult our authorised watch servicing team rather than attempting DIY adjustments
