The Out Of Order Blue Auto 2.0 is a bold Italian dive-inspired timepiece that challenges convention with its distinctive aged stainless steel finish and vibrant blue sunburst dial. Housed in a substantial 44mm case with a striking dual-tone rotating bezel in turquoise and yellow, this automatic watch delivers authentic horological character for those who appreciate individuality in their wristwear. Powered by the reliable Japanese Seiko NH-35 automatic movement, it requires no battery and offers approximately 41 hours of power reserve when fully wound, making it an ideal daily companion for the discerning wearer.
Damaged in Italy — as the dial proudly states — this timepiece embodies Out Of Order's rebellious design philosophy, combining professional dive watch functionality with an unconventional aesthetic. The sunburst blue dial features bold luminous hour markers and hands, a date window at 3 o'clock, and a unidirectional rotating bezel for timing dive intervals. Water-resistant to 10 ATM (approximately 100 metres), this watch is suitable for swimming and snorkelling, though not for scuba diving. The aged stainless steel bracelet with its purposefully weathered finish adds to the watch's distinctive vintage-modern character.
At Cassim & Co., we are proud to be an authorised retailer for OUT OF ORDER watches, ensuring every timepiece comes with full manufacturer warranty and authenticity guarantee. This particular model showcases the brand's commitment to mechanical watchmaking at an accessible price point, offering genuine automatic movement in a design that stands apart from mainstream offerings. The sapphire crystal glass provides superior scratch resistance compared to mineral crystal, while the see-through case back allows you to admire the Seiko NH-35 movement's intricate workings.

FAQ
Q: What does "automatic" mean and does this watch need a battery?
A: An automatic watch is a mechanical timepiece that winds itself through the natural motion of your wrist. The Seiko NH-35 movement inside this Out Of Order watch requires no battery replacement — it's powered entirely by a self-winding rotor mechanism. When worn regularly, it maintains continuous operation. If left unworn for more than 41 hours, you'll need to hand-wind it using the crown or simply wear it to restart the automatic winding process.
Q: What does "Damaged in Italy" mean on the dial?
A: "Damaged in Italy" is Out Of Order's distinctive brand statement and design philosophy — it doesn't mean the watch is defective. It's a playful reference to the brand's unconventional approach to watchmaking and the intentionally aged, weathered aesthetic of their timepieces. Your watch arrives in perfect working condition with full manufacturer warranty.
Q: Can I swim or dive with this watch?
A: With 10 ATM (100 metres) water resistance, this watch is suitable for swimming, snorkelling, and water sports. However, it's not recommended for scuba diving or high-impact water activities. Always ensure the screw-down crown is fully tightened before water exposure, and avoid operating the crown or bezel while underwater.
Q: Why does the stainless steel look aged or weathered?
A: The aged stainless steel finish is an intentional design feature unique to Out Of Order's Auto 2.0 collection. The case and bracelet undergo a special treatment process to create the vintage, weathered patina effect. This is not damage or wear — it's a carefully applied finish that gives each watch distinctive character straight from the factory.
Q: How do I set the time and date on this automatic watch?
A: Unscrew the crown anticlockwise until it releases, then pull it out to the first position to adjust the date (rotate clockwise only), or pull to the second position to set the time. Avoid changing the date between 9 PM and 3 AM as this can damage the movement. After setting, push the crown back in and screw it down clockwise to ensure water resistance.
Q: Can the bracelet be resized to fit my wrist?
A: Yes, the stainless steel bracelet can be professionally resized by removing or adding links. Visit our Mall of the South boutique and our team will adjust the bracelet to your wrist free of charge with your purchase. The bracelet width is 22mm, which is a standard size if you wish to swap it for a different strap in future.
Q: What is the Seiko NH-35 movement and is it reliable?
A: The Seiko NH-35 is a robust, Japanese-made automatic movement renowned for its reliability and accuracy. It operates at 21,600 vibrations per hour, offers hacking seconds (the second hand stops when you pull the crown out), and includes hand-winding capability. It's the same movement used in many respected micro-brand and mid-range automatic watches, offering excellent value and longevity.

- What Is Not Covered: The warranty does not cover normal wear and tear, scratches or cosmetic damage to the case, crystal, or bracelet, battery replacement (not applicable to automatic watches), damage from accidents, misuse, or unauthorised modifications, water damage resulting from improper use or failure to ensure the crown is secured, or damage from extreme shock or magnetic exposure.
- Service Requirements: Warranty service must be performed by an authorised Out Of Order service centre or authorised retailer. Unauthorised repairs or opening of the case back will void the warranty.

- After-Warranty Service: After the warranty period expires, our watch servicing team remains available to maintain and repair your Out Of Order timepiece with genuine parts and expert craftsmanship.
Care Guide
- Regular Wear: Wear your automatic watch regularly to keep it wound through natural wrist motion. If not worn daily, hand-wind it using the crown (approximately 30-40 turns) to maintain power reserve.
- Water Resistance: Always ensure the screw-down crown is fully tightened before any water exposure. Do not operate the crown or bezel while the watch is wet or submerged. Rinse with fresh water after swimming in chlorinated or salt water.
- Crown Operation: When setting the time or date, unscrew the crown gently and avoid forcing it. Never adjust the date between 9 PM and 3 AM as the date mechanism is engaged during these hours and forcing it can damage the movement.
- Cleaning: Wipe the case and bracelet regularly with a soft, lint-free cloth. For deeper cleaning of the aged stainless steel bracelet, use warm soapy water and a soft brush, ensuring the crown is screwed down. Dry thoroughly afterwards.
- Magnetic Fields: Keep your automatic watch away from strong magnetic sources such as speakers, laptops, magnetic clasps, and mobile phones, as magnetisation can affect accuracy.
- Impact Protection: While robust, automatic movements contain delicate components. Avoid severe shocks or impacts, and remove your watch during activities like golf, tennis, or heavy manual work.
- Service Intervals: Automatic watches should be serviced every 3-5 years to maintain optimal performance. This includes movement cleaning, lubrication, gasket replacement, and water resistance testing.
- Storage: When not wearing your watch for extended periods, store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Consider a watch winder if you own multiple automatic watches to keep them running.
- Bezel Care: The rotating bezel should turn smoothly with gentle resistance. Do not force it if it feels stuck — bring it to our service centre for inspection.
- Sapphire Crystal: While sapphire crystal is highly scratch-resistant, it can chip or crack from severe impact. Clean with a microfibre cloth to maintain clarity.
