FAQ
Q: What does the sandstone dial texture look like in person?
A: The green sandstone dial features a unique mineral-inspired texture with subtle shimmer and depth that changes beautifully as light moves across the surface. Each dial has natural variation in the sandstone finish, making every piece subtly unique. The texture creates visual interest while maintaining the clean Scandinavian aesthetic Obaku is known for.
Q: Is the diamond on the dial genuine?
A: Yes, the single stone positioned at 12 o'clock is a genuine diamond with SI1 clarity, as confirmed by Obaku Denmark. This subtle detail adds refined luxury without compromising the minimalist design philosophy.
Q: Can I wear this watch while washing my hands or in light rain?
A: Yes, with 3 ATM (30 metres) water resistance, this watch is suitable for everyday splashes, handwashing, and light rain. However, it is not designed for swimming, showering, or water sports. Always ensure the crown is pushed in fully to maintain water resistance.
Q: How long will the quartz battery last?
A: Obaku quartz movements typically provide 2-3 years of battery life under normal use. When replacement is needed, our boutique offers professional battery replacement services to ensure your watch remains water-resistant and functions perfectly.
Q: Can the mesh bracelet be adjusted to fit my wrist?
A: Absolutely. The Milanese mesh bracelet features an adjustable sliding clasp that allows for precise micro-adjustments to achieve a perfect fit. Our team at Mall of the South can assist with sizing when you purchase or collect your watch.
Q: What makes Obaku watches sustainable?
A: Obaku Denmark is committed to renewable energy and climate action in their manufacturing processes. The brand focuses on creating timeless, durable designs that transcend seasonal trends, reducing waste through longevity rather than disposability.
Q: Will the gold PVD coating wear off over time?
A: PVD (Physical Vapour Deposition) coating is highly durable and resistant to fading, scratching, and tarnishing. With proper care, the gold finish will maintain its lustre for many years. Avoid harsh chemicals and abrasive materials to preserve the coating's integrity.
