FAQ
Q: Is this watch suitable for everyday wear?
A: Absolutely. The Obaku Lagen Monochrome is designed as a versatile everyday timepiece. Its 40mm case size suits most wrist sizes, the mesh bracelet is exceptionally comfortable for all-day wear, and the monochromatic colour scheme pairs effortlessly with both business attire and casual clothing. The quartz movement ensures reliable timekeeping with minimal maintenance.
Q: What does 3 ATM water resistance mean?
A: 3 ATM (30 metres) water resistance means this watch can withstand splashes and brief contact with water, such as washing hands or light rain. However, it is not suitable for swimming, showering, or any water sports. We recommend removing the watch before any prolonged water exposure to maintain its integrity.
Q: Can the mesh bracelet be adjusted?
A: Yes, the stainless steel mesh bracelet can be professionally adjusted for the perfect fit. We offer complimentary sizing at our Mall of the South boutique at the time of purchase. The mesh design also offers some natural flexibility, allowing for a comfortable fit throughout the day as your wrist expands and contracts.
Q: How long will the battery last in this quartz watch?
A: Quartz watch batteries typically last between 2 to 3 years depending on usage. When battery replacement is required, we recommend having it replaced by our qualified watchmakers to ensure the water resistance seals are properly maintained and the caseback is correctly secured.
Q: What is the warranty coverage on this Obaku watch?
A: This watch carries a 2-year international Obaku warranty from the date of purchase when bought from an authorised retailer like Cassim & Co. The warranty covers manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship, but does not cover normal wear and tear, battery replacement, or damage from misuse.
Q: Is Obaku a well-established watch brand?
A: Yes, Obaku is a respected Danish watch brand known for Scandinavian minimalist design since 2001. The brand focuses on creating timepieces that embody Nordic design principles: simplicity, functionality, and quality craftsmanship. Each watch is designed with meticulous attention to detail and thoughtful consideration of every element.
Q: Does the black case coating wear off over time?
A: The black finish on the stainless steel case is designed to be durable, though like all coated watches, it may show signs of wear with extended use or if subjected to harsh impacts. We recommend avoiding contact with abrasive surfaces and storing the watch properly when not in use to maintain its appearance for years to come.
