This petite Obaku Smykke watch embodies Scandinavian restraint with a luminous mother-of-pearl dial accented by a genuine diamond marker at the 12 o'clock position. Delicate gold PVD-coated stainless steel construction extends from the slimline 22 mm case through to the finely woven mesh bracelet, creating a seamless silhouette that glides effortlessly across the wrist. Minimalist baton hands and discrete gold indices maintain the dial's serene clarity, while the subtly domed mineral crystal adds a refined three-dimensional quality to the watch face.
Designed for everyday elegance, the quartz movement ensures reliable timekeeping with minimal maintenance, while the ultra-slim 4 mm case profile slips discreetly beneath cuff sleeves or stacks gracefully alongside fine bracelets. The Milanese-style mesh bracelet, secured by a fold-over clasp with integrated safety catches, delivers both tactile comfort and jewellery-like fluidity. At Cassim & Co., we are proud to present OBAKU watches as part of our curated selection of Scandinavian timepieces that prioritise thoughtful design over unnecessary embellishment.
The mother-of-pearl dial exhibits natural iridescence that shifts gently in changing light, lending the watch a subtle dynamism despite its pared-back aesthetic. This organic interplay of tone and texture makes each glance at the dial a quiet moment of visual delight, while the singular diamond marker adds a precise note of luxury without overwhelming the composition. Water resistance to 30 metres provides reassurance during handwashing and incidental splashes, though the watch remains fundamentally a terrestrial companion designed for boardroom and boutique rather than pool or ocean.
Whether dressing a formal occasion or elevating everyday attire, the Smykke collection offers a distinctly Nordic take on women's horology—one that values clarity, proportion, and material integrity above passing trends. Visit us at our Mall of the South boutique to experience the watch's refined construction firsthand, and explore how our watch servicing and repairs team ensures your timepiece remains in optimal condition for years to come.

FAQ
Q: What type of movement does this Obaku watch use?
A: The Smykke V297SXGWMG is powered by a reliable quartz movement, which requires a battery change approximately every 2-3 years and delivers precision timekeeping with minimal maintenance.
Q: Is the diamond on the dial genuine?
A: Yes, the marker at the 12 o'clock position is a genuine diamond, adding a discreet touch of luxury to the mother-of-pearl dial.
Q: Can I swim or shower with this watch?
A: The watch is water-resistant to 30 metres (3 ATM), which protects against incidental splashes and handwashing. However, it is not suitable for swimming, showering, or water sports—the rating is designed for occasional contact with water only.
Q: How do I adjust the mesh bracelet to fit my wrist?
A: The Milanese-style mesh bracelet typically features an adjustable sliding clasp mechanism that can be fine-tuned for a precise fit. Our team at Cassim & Co. will be happy to assist with fitting and demonstrate the adjustment process when you collect your watch.
Q: Will the gold PVD coating wear off over time?
A: PVD (Physical Vapour Deposition) coating is highly durable and scratch-resistant compared to traditional gold plating. With proper care—avoiding harsh chemicals, abrasive surfaces, and impacts—the finish should remain vibrant for many years of regular wear.
Q: How do I care for the mother-of-pearl dial?
A: Mother-of-pearl is a natural material that requires no special maintenance beyond general watch care. Avoid exposing the watch to extreme temperatures, strong chemicals, or prolonged direct sunlight. Clean the crystal with a soft, lint-free cloth as needed.
Q: Is this watch suitable as a gift?
A: Absolutely. The Obaku Smykke's elegant Scandinavian design, genuine diamond accent, and versatile gold-tone aesthetic make it an ideal gift for birthdays, anniversaries, graduations, or milestone celebrations.

Care Guide
- Clean the case and bracelet regularly with a soft, lint-free cloth to remove oils, dust, and residue.
- Avoid exposing the watch to harsh chemicals, perfumes, cosmetics, or cleaning solvents, which may damage the PVD coating and mother-of-pearl dial.
- Do not wear the watch while swimming, showering, or engaging in water sports—the 30-metre water resistance is intended for incidental splashes only.
- Remove the watch before vigorous physical activity, manual labour, or contact sports to prevent impacts that could damage the case, crystal, or movement.
- Store the watch in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and magnetic fields when not in use.
- Have the battery replaced promptly by a qualified professional when the watch stops or exhibits irregular timekeeping—leaving a depleted battery in the movement can cause leakage and damage.
- Bring your watch to Cassim & Co. for periodic inspection, cleaning, and servicing to ensure long-term performance and preserve the PVD finish.
- Avoid unscrewing or opening the case back yourself, as this may compromise water resistance and void the warranty.
