The Out Of Order Auto Collection Grey (reference OOO.001-16.2.GR) is a boldly unconventional timepiece that challenges traditional watchmaking codes while delivering serious mechanical credibility. Housed in a distinctive 44mm aged stainless steel case with a matching bracelet, this automatic watch features a grey dial punctuated by luminous indices and a striking yellow unidirectional bezel—a design statement that refuses to conform to conventional aesthetics. The contrasting yellow accents and vintage-inspired finishing give this watch a tool-watch personality with contemporary edge, while the date window at 3 o'clock adds practical everyday functionality.
At the heart of this timepiece beats the reliable Seiko NH-35 automatic movement, a 24-jewel Japanese calibre renowned for its robustness and accuracy. With a 41-hour power reserve, this self-winding mechanical movement requires no battery and gains energy from the natural motion of your wrist—a testament to traditional horological craftsmanship. The sapphire crystal protects the dial from scratches while offering superior clarity, and with 100 metres of water resistance, this watch transitions confidently from urban environments to weekend adventures. At Cassims & Co., we are proud to be an authorised retailer for OUT OF ORDER watches, bringing you avant-garde timepieces backed by full manufacturer warranty and local expertise.

FAQ
Q: Is this a genuine automatic mechanical watch?
A: Yes, the Out Of Order Auto Collection Grey is powered by the Seiko NH-35 automatic movement, a 24-jewel Japanese calibre that winds itself through the natural motion of your wrist. This is a true mechanical watch requiring no battery, with a 41-hour power reserve when fully wound.
Q: What does the aged stainless steel finish mean?
A: The aged or "distressed" stainless steel finish is a deliberate design treatment that gives the watch a vintage, pre-worn aesthetic straight from the factory. This creates a unique patina-like appearance that sets it apart from standard polished steel watches, contributing to the watch's distinctive character.
Q: Can I swim or shower with this watch?
A: With 100 metres (10 ATM) of water resistance, this watch is suitable for swimming, snorkelling, and everyday water exposure. However, we do not recommend showering with any watch due to soap and shampoo chemicals, and the crown should always be fully secured before water contact. Avoid operating the crown or bezel while underwater.
Q: What is the function of the yellow rotating bezel?
A: The unidirectional rotating bezel is a classic dive-watch feature used to track elapsed time. It rotates only counter-clockwise as a safety measure, allowing you to time intervals up to 60 minutes. While this watch has the aesthetic of a diver, its 100m water resistance makes it suitable for recreational swimming rather than professional diving.
Q: Will the bracelet fit my wrist?
A: The stainless steel bracelet can be professionally sized to fit most wrist sizes. When you purchase from Cassims & Co., we provide complimentary bracelet sizing at our Mall of the South boutique to ensure a perfect fit. If ordering for delivery, our team can guide you through sizing options.
Q: How often does an automatic watch need servicing?
A: Automatic mechanical watches typically require professional servicing every 3-5 years to maintain optimal performance. This involves cleaning, lubrication, and regulation of the movement. Our watch servicing team at Cassims & Co. can perform routine maintenance and repairs to keep your Out Of Order timepiece running accurately for decades.
Q: Is Out Of Order a reputable watch brand?
A: Out Of Order is an Italian watch brand established in 2003, known for unconventional designs and accessible mechanical watchmaking. While not a traditional Swiss luxury brand, Out Of Order has built a strong reputation for distinctive aesthetics and reliable movements, particularly using proven Japanese calibres like the Seiko NH-35. As an authorised retailer, Cassims & Co. stands behind every Out Of Order watch we sell.

Care Guide
- Daily Wear: Avoid exposing your watch to extreme temperature changes, strong magnetic fields, or impacts that could affect the mechanical movement.
- Water Resistance: Ensure the crown is fully pushed in and screwed down (if applicable) before any water contact. After exposure to salt water, rinse the watch with fresh water and dry thoroughly.
- Crown Operation: Never operate the crown or any pushers while the watch is wet or underwater, as this can compromise water resistance.
- Automatic Movement Care: If not worn daily, the watch will stop after the 41-hour power reserve is depleted. Simply wind it manually (approximately 20-30 clockwise turns of the crown) or wear it to restart the automatic winding mechanism.
- Cleaning: Clean the case and bracelet regularly with a soft, slightly damp cloth. For the bracelet, use a soft brush with mild soapy water to remove dirt from between links, then rinse and dry completely.
- Storage: When not wearing your watch, store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Avoid storing near electronics or magnets that could affect the movement's accuracy.
- Sapphire Crystal: While sapphire crystal is highly scratch-resistant, it can shatter under extreme impact. Avoid dropping the watch or striking the crystal against hard surfaces.
- Professional Servicing: Have your watch professionally serviced every 3-5 years to maintain optimal performance. Cassims & Co. offers comprehensive watch servicing and repairs for all timepieces purchased from us.
- Bracelet Adjustment: If the bracelet requires resizing, have this done professionally to avoid damaging the links or clasp mechanism.
