Description
The Obaku Viol V211LXBBMB is a striking expression of Danish minimalist design, where Scandinavian aesthetic principles meet refined horological craftsmanship. Housed in a sleek 36mm stainless steel case finished in a sophisticated charcoal-black coating, this women's quartz timepiece embodies understated elegance with contemporary edge. The dial presents a study in restrained beauty: a pure black canvas punctuated by slender linear hour markers and minimalist hands, creating an uncluttered face that prioritises legibility whilst maintaining visual intrigue. The Obaku branding sits discreetly below twelve o'clock, a subtle nod to the marque's design philosophy.
Movement is provided by a precision Japanese quartz calibre, offering dependable timekeeping with minimal maintenance requirements—an ideal choice for daily wear. The case is rated to 3 ATM (30 metres), providing splash resistance suitable for everyday exposure to moisture but not intended for swimming or submersion. A mineral crystal protects the dial face, whilst the integrated black stainless steel mesh bracelet—measuring 12mm in width—wraps the wrist with fluid comfort, secured by a pin buckle clasp. This is a watch that transitions effortlessly from office to evening, its dark monochrome palette proving remarkably versatile across wardrobes and occasions.

FAQ
Q: Is the Obaku Viol V211LXBBMB suitable for swimming?
A: No. With a water resistance rating of 3 ATM (30 metres), this watch is splash-resistant and suitable for everyday exposure to moisture such as handwashing or light rain, but it is not designed for swimming, showering, or submersion in water. We recommend removing the watch before any water-based activities.
Q: What type of movement powers this watch?
A: The Viol V211LXBBMB is powered by a precision Japanese quartz movement, offering accurate timekeeping with minimal maintenance. Quartz movements are battery-operated and typically require battery replacement every 2-3 years depending on usage.
Q: Can the mesh bracelet be adjusted to fit my wrist?
A: Yes. The stainless steel mesh bracelet can be professionally sized to fit your wrist comfortably. If you purchase in-store at our Johannesburg showrooms, we can adjust the bracelet immediately. For online purchases, we recommend visiting our store or a qualified watchmaker for proper sizing to ensure optimal comfort and longevity of the bracelet.
Q: What is the case size, and is it suitable for smaller wrists?
A: The case diameter is 36mm, which is considered a mid-size women's watch. This dimension provides excellent wrist presence without overwhelming smaller wrists, making it versatile across different wrist sizes. The slim profile and integrated mesh bracelet further enhance the comfortable, elegant fit.
Q: Is this watch covered by an official warranty?
A: Yes. As authorised Obaku retailers, every V211LXBBMB we sell comes with a 2-year international manufacturer warranty from the date of purchase. This warranty covers manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship but does not cover normal wear, battery replacement, or damage from misuse.
Q: How often will I need to replace the battery?
A: Quartz watch batteries typically last between 2-3 years, depending on usage patterns and the specific battery capacity. When replacement is needed, our watch servicing team can replace the battery using quality components, and we'll also check the case seal to maintain water resistance integrity.
Q: What makes Danish watch design distinctive?
A: Danish watch design, exemplified by brands like Obaku, embraces minimalist principles rooted in Scandinavian aesthetics: clean lines, uncluttered dials, restrained use of colour, and emphasis on functional beauty. The Viol collection reflects this philosophy with its monochrome palette, simple dial layout, and architectural case proportions.
Warranty
- Manufacturer Warranty: This Obaku watch is covered by a 2-year international manufacturer warranty from the date of purchase when bought from an authorised retailer such as Cassims & Co.
- Warranty Coverage: The warranty covers manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship under normal use conditions. This includes faults in the movement, case, dial, hands, and bracelet that arise from production defects.
- Exclusions: The warranty does not cover normal wear and tear, scratches, cosmetic damage, battery replacement, water damage resulting from misuse or failure to observe water resistance limits, damage from accidents or improper handling, or unauthorised modifications or repairs.
- Water Resistance: Water resistance is not a permanent condition and can be affected by ageing of gaskets and seals. Water resistance is not covered under warranty after the first year unless the watch has been professionally serviced.
- Proof of Purchase: Valid warranty claims require presentation of the original purchase receipt or invoice from an authorised retailer. Watches purchased from unauthorised dealers or third parties may not be eligible for manufacturer warranty coverage.
- Claiming Warranty Service: Should you experience a manufacturing defect, contact Cassims & Co. with your proof of purchase. We will facilitate assessment and, if the claim is valid, arrange repair or replacement according to manufacturer warranty terms.
- Battery Replacement: Battery replacement is considered routine maintenance and is not covered under warranty. Our servicing team can replace batteries at reasonable rates using quality components.
- Authorised Retailer Advantage: Purchasing from Cassims & Co. as an authorised Obaku retailer ensures your warranty is valid and that you receive genuine products with full manufacturer support.
Care guide
- Daily Wear: Remove your watch before engaging in high-impact activities, contact sports, or manual labour that may subject the case or crystal to shocks or scratches.
- Water Exposure: With 3 ATM water resistance, avoid immersion in water. Remove the watch before showering, swimming, or washing dishes. If the watch does get wet, dry it immediately with a soft cloth.
- Cleaning: Clean the stainless steel case and mesh bracelet regularly using a soft, slightly damp cloth. For accumulated dirt in the mesh links, use a soft brush with mild soapy water, then rinse lightly and dry thoroughly. Never use harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
- Storage: When not wearing your watch, store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, magnetic fields, and extreme temperatures. Keep it in its original box or a watch case to prevent scratches.
- Battery Replacement: When the watch stops or timekeeping becomes erratic, have the battery replaced promptly by a qualified watchmaker. Leaving a depleted battery in the movement can cause leakage and damage. Our servicing team can handle this professionally.
- Crown Care: Ensure the crown is always pushed fully in to its normal position during wear to maintain water resistance integrity and protect the movement from dust ingress.
- Professional Servicing: While quartz watches require less maintenance than mechanical timepieces, we recommend periodic inspection every 2-3 years to check seals, replace gaskets if necessary, and ensure optimal performance.
- Magnetic Fields: Avoid prolonged exposure to strong magnetic fields (speakers, mobile phones, magnetic clasps) as these can affect quartz movement accuracy.
- Chemical Exposure: Keep your watch away from perfumes, cosmetics, cleaning products, and solvents, as these can damage the case coating, crystal, and seals over time.
