The Police Avondale PL15523JS02MW is a commanding multifunction timepiece that blends contemporary aesthetics with robust engineering. Housed in a substantial stainless steel case measuring 48mm in diameter and 57.5mm lug-to-lug, this watch makes a bold statement on the wrist. The striking black dial features rose gold-tone applied hour markers and hands, creating a dynamic contrast that enhances legibility and visual impact. Three sub-dials provide day, date, and 24-hour functionality, whilst a distinctive blue accent disc adds a sporadic touch of colour to the composition. The bi-tone aesthetic extends to the crown and pushers, which feature rose gold-tone accents against the polished stainless steel case.
Powered by a reliable Seiko Epson VX9J quartz movement, the Avondale delivers precision timekeeping with multifunction capability. The integrated stainless steel bracelet features a combination of brushed and polished surfaces, offering both durability and refinement. Water-resistant to 5 ATM (50 metres), this timepiece handles everyday exposure to moisture with confidence, though it is not intended for swimming or diving. The mineral crystal protects the dial whilst maintaining clarity and scratch resistance.

FAQ
Q: Is the Police Avondale a chronograph watch?
A: No, despite its sporty appearance with pushers and sub-dials, the Avondale is a multifunction watch rather than a chronograph. The sub-dials display day, date, and 24-hour time rather than stopwatch functions. The pushers are decorative design elements that complement the watch's bold aesthetic.
Q: What movement powers this watch and how often does the battery need replacing?
A: The Avondale is powered by a Seiko Epson VX9J quartz movement, renowned for its reliability and accuracy. Under normal usage conditions, the battery typically lasts 2-3 years. When replacement is needed, our service team at Cassim & Co. can handle this quickly and professionally.
Q: Can I swim or shower with this watch?
A: With 5 ATM (50 metres) water resistance, the Avondale can handle splashes, rain, and brief immersion, making it suitable for handwashing and light water exposure. However, we do not recommend swimming, showering, or water sports with this watch, as the water resistance rating is designed for everyday moisture protection rather than aquatic activities.
Q: Will the rose gold-tone finish wear off over time?
A: The rose gold-tone accents on the crown, pushers, and dial elements are applied through PVD (Physical Vapour Deposition) or similar coating processes, which are designed to be durable. With proper care and regular wear, these finishes maintain their appearance well. Avoiding harsh chemicals, impacts, and abrasive materials will help preserve the finish over the years.
Q: Can the bracelet be adjusted to fit my wrist?
A: Yes, the stainless steel bracelet features removable links that allow for precise sizing. When you purchase the Avondale from Cassim & Co., we provide complimentary bracelet sizing to ensure a perfect fit. Our experienced team can add or remove links as needed at our Mall of the South boutique.
Q: Is this watch suitable for formal occasions or is it purely casual?
A: The Avondale's bold 48mm case and sporty multifunction design make it best suited to casual and smart-casual settings. Whilst the bi-tone aesthetic adds a touch of refinement, the watch's substantial presence and contemporary styling are more aligned with everyday wear, weekend activities, and relaxed business environments rather than black-tie formal occasions.
Q: Does this watch come with an international warranty?
A: Yes, the Police Avondale comes with a 2-year international manufacturer's warranty when purchased from an authorised retailer such as Cassim & Co. This warranty covers manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship, providing peace of mind with your investment.

Care Guide
- Wipe the case and bracelet regularly with a soft, lint-free cloth to remove fingerprints, dust, and moisture buildup.
- Avoid exposure to chemicals including perfumes, cleaning products, chlorine, and saltwater, which can damage the case finish and seals.
- Do not operate the crown or pushers whilst the watch is wet or submerged, as this can compromise water resistance.
- Store your watch in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not wearing it, preferably in its original box or a watch case.
- Have the water resistance tested annually if you regularly expose the watch to moisture, as seals can degrade over time.
- Avoid impact and shock to the case, crystal, and bracelet, as quartz movements contain delicate electronic components.
- Remove the watch before engaging in contact sports, heavy lifting, or activities involving vibration or magnetic fields.
- Clean the bracelet periodically with lukewarm water and mild soap using a soft brush, then dry thoroughly with a soft cloth.
- If the watch begins losing time or stops, bring it to our service centre for battery replacement rather than attempting to open the case yourself.
- Avoid extreme temperatures, both hot and cold, as these can affect timekeeping accuracy and damage internal components.
