The Obaku Mosaik V268LXCWMC is a study in Scandinavian restraint and contemporary elegance. Designed by the acclaimed Aros Design House, this quartz timepiece features a faceted white mother-of-pearl dial that captures and refracts light through its geometric patterns, creating a mesmerising interplay of luminosity and shadow. Four precisely set crystal hour markers punctuate the dial at cardinal positions, offering subtle guidance without compromising the watch's minimalist aesthetic. The polished stainless steel case, measuring a refined 32mm, houses a reliable Japanese quartz movement that ensures precision timekeeping with minimal intervention.
The defining characteristic of this piece is its stainless steel mesh bracelet — a hallmark of Danish design philosophy that combines tactile comfort with visual sophistication. The Milanese-style weave conforms naturally to the wrist, whilst the integrated quick-release system allows for effortless strap changes. At Cassims & Co., we are proud to be an authorised retailer of OBAKU watches, ensuring that every timepiece in our collection is accompanied by full manufacturer guarantees and after-sales support.
Water-resistant to 3 ATM (30 metres), this watch is protected against splashes and brief immersion, making it suitable for daily wear in all but aquatic environments. The sapphire-coated mineral crystal provides scratch resistance, preserving the clarity of the mother-of-pearl dial over years of wear. This is a watch designed for those who appreciate understatement — a timepiece that whispers rather than shouts, yet commands attention through the purity of its execution.
Whether you're seeking a versatile dress watch for professional settings or an elegant daily companion, the Mosaik V268LXCWMC delivers Danish design excellence at an accessible price point. Our watch servicing and repairs team is always on hand to assist with battery replacements, bracelet adjustments, and routine maintenance.

FAQ
Q: What is mother-of-pearl and why is it used in watch dials?
A: Mother-of-pearl is the iridescent inner layer of certain mollusc shells, prized for its natural lustre and unique light-refracting properties. Each mother-of-pearl dial is distinctive, with subtle variations in colour and pattern. On the Obaku Mosaik, the material is faceted in a geometric pattern that amplifies its natural shimmer, creating a dial that changes appearance depending on viewing angle and lighting conditions.
Q: Is this watch suitable for everyday wear?
A: Absolutely. The Mosaik V268LXCWMC is designed as a versatile daily timepiece. Its 3 ATM water resistance protects against handwashing and light rain, whilst the stainless steel construction and sapphire-coated crystal provide durability. The mesh bracelet is comfortable for extended wear and won't snag on clothing. However, avoid showering, swimming, or water sports whilst wearing this watch.
Q: How often does the battery need replacing?
A: Japanese quartz movements typically provide 2-3 years of battery life under normal usage. When the battery requires replacement, our watchmakers at Cassims & Co. can perform this service whilst maintaining the watch's water resistance integrity. We recommend having the watch pressure-tested after any case opening to ensure the seals remain effective.
Q: Can the mesh bracelet be adjusted for different wrist sizes?
A: The mesh bracelet features an integrated clasp that allows for micro-adjustments, accommodating a range of wrist sizes without requiring link removal. This design ensures a precise, comfortable fit. Our team at Mall of the South can assist with bracelet adjustment at the time of purchase to ensure optimal comfort.
Q: What does 3 ATM water resistance actually mean in practical terms?
A: 3 ATM (30 metres) indicates resistance to water pressure equivalent to static submersion at 30 metres depth. In practical terms, this means the watch can withstand splashes, rain, and brief contact with water during handwashing. It is not suitable for showering, swimming, diving, or any water sports. Never operate the crown whilst the watch is wet or submerged.
Q: Is this watch covered by an official manufacturer warranty?
A: Yes. As authorised Obaku retailers, every Mosaik watch purchased from Cassims & Co. includes a 2-year international manufacturer warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship. This warranty is only valid when the watch is purchased from an authorised retailer and is accompanied by a fully completed warranty card.
Q: What makes Danish watch design distinctive?
A: Danish watch design, exemplified by brands like Obaku, prioritises minimalism, functionality, and understated elegance. The aesthetic draws from the Scandinavian design tradition of 'less is more' — clean lines, uncluttered dials, and a focus on quality materials over ornamental excess. The Mosaik collection embodies this philosophy whilst introducing visual interest through the faceted mother-of-pearl dial.

Care Guide
- Avoid exposure to extreme temperatures, strong magnetic fields, and direct sunlight for prolonged periods, as these can affect timekeeping accuracy and dial colour stability.
- Clean the case and bracelet regularly using a soft, lint-free cloth slightly dampened with water. For the mesh bracelet, use a soft brush to remove debris from between the links.
- Never operate the crown whilst the watch is wet or submerged, as this can compromise water resistance and allow moisture ingress.
- Avoid contact with chemicals including perfumes, cosmetics, cleaning agents, and solvents, as these can damage the case finish and bracelet.
- Store the watch in a cool, dry environment away from direct sunlight when not in use. A watch box or soft pouch is ideal.
- Have the battery replaced by a qualified watchmaker when the watch stops or shows signs of irregular timekeeping. Do not allow a depleted battery to remain in the watch, as leakage can cause internal damage.
- Mother-of-pearl is a natural material and should be protected from impacts and scratches. Whilst durable, it can chip if subjected to sharp blows.
- If the watch is exposed to saltwater (even briefly), rinse immediately with fresh water and dry thoroughly with a soft cloth.
- We recommend having the watch inspected annually by our servicing team to ensure water resistance seals remain effective and the movement is functioning optimally.
