The Obaku V288LXVWHV is a refined expression of Danish minimalism, where Scandinavian design philosophy meets accessible luxury. Part of the Glans Roses collection, this 36mm timepiece features a pristine white mother-of-pearl dial adorned with twelve individually set crystal hour markers, each catching the light with subtle brilliance. The rose gold-plated stainless steel case and matching mesh bracelet create a cohesive aesthetic that transitions effortlessly from boardroom to evening wear, embodying the understated elegance for which Obaku Denmark has become renowned.
Powered by a precision Japanese quartz movement, this watch delivers reliable timekeeping within a slim profile that sits comfortably on the wrist. The mineral crystal glass protects the dial whilst maintaining clarity, and the watch is water-resistant to 3 atmospheres, suitable for daily wear and incidental splashes. The rose gold mesh bracelet features Obaku's signature Milanese weave, offering both flexibility and visual texture whilst securing via an integrated clasp system.

FAQ
Q: Is this watch suitable for swimming or showering?
A: The Obaku V288LXVWHV has a water resistance rating of 3 ATM (30 metres), which means it can withstand splashes and brief immersion such as handwashing or rain. However, it is not designed for swimming, showering, or water sports. We recommend removing the watch before any sustained contact with water to preserve both the movement and the rose gold plating.
Q: What type of battery does this watch use and how long will it last?
A: This watch is powered by a standard quartz battery. Typically, quartz watch batteries last between 2-3 years depending on usage. When replacement is needed, we recommend bringing the watch to our Mall of the South boutique where our team can replace the battery and pressure-test the watch to ensure the water resistance seal remains intact.
Q: Can the mesh bracelet be adjusted to fit my wrist?
A: Yes, the Milanese mesh bracelet features an adjustable clasp system that allows for micro-adjustments to achieve a comfortable fit. Our team at Cassim & Co. can assist with sizing when you visit our boutique, ensuring the watch sits perfectly on your wrist without requiring link removal.
Q: Will the rose gold plating wear off over time?
A: The rose gold plating on this watch is applied using PVD (Physical Vapour Deposition) or similar electroplating techniques, which provide good durability under normal wear conditions. To maximise longevity, we recommend avoiding contact with harsh chemicals, perfumes, and abrasive surfaces. With proper care, the plating should maintain its lustre for many years.
Q: Is this watch covered by a manufacturer warranty?
A: Yes, when purchased from Cassim & Co. as an authorised Obaku retailer, this watch carries a 2-year international manufacturer warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship. The warranty does not cover normal wear and tear, battery replacement, or damage caused by misuse. Full warranty terms are provided with your purchase.
Q: What is the case thickness of this watch?
A: Whilst Obaku does not publicly specify the exact case thickness for this model, it features a slim quartz movement that creates a low-profile design characteristic of minimalist Scandinavian watches. The watch sits comfortably under shirt cuffs and is designed for everyday wearability.
Q: Is this watch suitable as a gift?
A: Absolutely. The Obaku V288LXVWHV comes beautifully presented in official Obaku packaging, making it an excellent gift choice for birthdays, anniversaries, graduations, or special occasions. The timeless design and neutral rose gold colourway appeal to a wide range of tastes, and we offer complimentary gift wrapping at our Mall of the South boutique.

Care Guide
- Daily Care: Wipe the case and bracelet with a soft, lint-free cloth after wearing to remove skin oils, perspiration, and environmental residue that can dull the finish over time.
- Water Exposure: Remove the watch before swimming, showering, or engaging in water sports. Whilst rated to 3 ATM, prolonged water exposure can compromise seals and affect the rose gold plating.
- Chemical Avoidance: Keep the watch away from perfumes, cosmetics, cleaning products, and solvents, as these can damage the plating, crystal, and seals. Apply perfume and lotions before putting on your watch.
- Storage: When not wearing your watch, store it in its original box or a soft pouch away from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and magnetic fields which can affect quartz movement accuracy.
- Crown Position: Ensure the crown is always pushed fully in against the case after any time-setting adjustments to maintain water resistance integrity.
- Bracelet Maintenance: The mesh bracelet may accumulate debris between the woven links. Gently clean with a soft brush and slightly dampened cloth, then dry thoroughly. Avoid ultrasonic cleaners.
- Impact Protection: Whilst designed for daily wear, avoid impact or shock to the watch, particularly to the crystal and crown. Remove the watch during activities involving heavy machinery or contact sports.
- Regular Servicing: Have your watch inspected every 2-3 years, particularly when replacing the battery. Our servicing team can check seals, clean the movement, and ensure optimal performance.
- Temperature Extremes: Avoid exposing the watch to extreme temperatures (below -10°C or above 60°C) as this can affect lubricants, seals, and battery performance.
