The Police Avondale 15523JSTBL/03M is a commanding statement of contemporary masculinity, engineered for the modern adventurer who demands both precision and presence. This multifunction quartz chronograph delivers Swiss-inspired reliability in a bold 48mm stainless steel case, paired with a striking blue dial that transitions from sunburst centre to textured outer ring. The tri-compax sub-dial layout offers day, date, and 24-hour tracking, whilst luminous baton indices and hands ensure legibility in any lighting condition.
Crafted from premium stainless steel, the Avondale features a robust integrated bracelet with polished centre links that catch the light beautifully, secured by a deployment clasp for everyday wearability. The blue anodised aluminium bezel insert adds a sporty edge to the design, whilst the sculpted chronograph pushers at 2 and 4 o'clock provide tactile feedback and confident operation. Water-resistant to 5 ATM (50 metres), this timepiece handles daily exposure with ease, though it is not intended for swimming or diving activities.

FAQ
Q: Is the Police Avondale suitable for swimming or diving?
A: With 5 ATM (50 metres) water resistance, the Avondale can withstand splashes, rain, and brief immersion, but it is not designed for swimming, showering, or any water sports. The chronograph pushers should never be operated whilst the watch is wet or submerged, as this can compromise the seal integrity.
Q: How often does the battery need replacement?
A: Quartz movements typically require battery replacement every 2-3 years depending on usage, particularly chronograph activation frequency. We recommend having your battery replaced by our authorised service centre to maintain water resistance seals and warranty validity.
Q: Is 48mm too large for smaller wrists?
A: The 48mm case diameter creates a bold, masculine presence best suited to wrist circumferences of 17cm and above. We strongly recommend trying the Avondale in person at our Mall of the South boutique to assess proportions and comfort before purchase, as oversized watches can overhang smaller wrists.
Q: What is the difference between the sub-dials on the chronograph?
A: The Avondale features three sub-dials in a tri-compax layout: a continuous seconds register, a day-of-week display, and a date counter. These are independent multifunction displays rather than chronograph totalizers, providing practical everyday information alongside the central chronograph seconds hand.
Q: Can the bracelet be adjusted to fit my wrist?
A: Yes, the stainless steel bracelet features removable links for precise sizing. We provide complimentary professional bracelet adjustment with every purchase at our boutique, ensuring optimal comfort and security on your wrist.
Q: Does this watch come with the original Police warranty?
A: Absolutely. When purchased from Cassim & Co. as an authorised Police retailer, the Avondale includes a full 2-year international manufacturer's warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship, along with original Police packaging and documentation.
Q: How accurate is the quartz movement?
A: Quartz movements are amongst the most accurate timekeeping technologies available, typically achieving accuracy within ±15 seconds per month. This far exceeds the performance of most mechanical movements and requires no manual winding or regular servicing beyond battery replacement.
Warranty
- This Police Avondale watch carries a 2-year international manufacturer's warranty from the date of purchase when bought from an authorised retailer such as Cassim & Co.
- The warranty covers manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship under normal use conditions, including movement malfunctions and case or bracelet defects.
- The warranty does not cover normal wear and tear, scratches, cosmetic damage, or deterioration of non-metal straps and bracelets.
- Battery replacement, routine maintenance, and water resistance testing are not covered under warranty and are considered normal service requirements.
- Damage resulting from accidents, misuse, unauthorized modifications, or repairs performed by non-authorized service centres will void the warranty.
- Water damage resulting from improper use, including operating pushers or crown whilst submerged, or failure to maintain water resistance seals, is not covered.
- To make a warranty claim, the original purchase receipt from Cassim & Co. and the warranty card must be presented, along with the watch in its complete condition.
- Warranty service must be performed by Police authorised service centres to maintain coverage validity and ensure genuine parts are used.
Care Guide
- Wipe the stainless steel case and bracelet regularly with a soft, lint-free cloth to remove perspiration, oils, and debris that can dull the finish over time.
- Avoid exposing the watch to extreme temperatures, strong magnetic fields, or harsh chemicals including perfumes, solvents, and cleaning agents which can damage seals and finishes.
- Never operate the chronograph pushers or pull out the crown whilst the watch is wet or submerged, as this can allow moisture ingress and compromise water resistance.
- Have the water resistance tested annually if you regularly expose the watch to moisture, and always after battery replacement, as gasket seals degrade over time.
- Store your Police timepiece in a cool, dry environment away from direct sunlight when not being worn, preferably in the original box or a dedicated watch case.
- If the bracelet becomes loose or damaged, discontinue wear immediately and visit our service centre for professional inspection and repair to prevent loss.
- Remove your watch before engaging in high-impact activities, contact sports, or heavy manual work that could subject the case or crystal to shock damage.
- Clean the bracelet periodically with lukewarm water and mild soap using a soft brush to remove accumulated dirt from the links, then dry thoroughly with a soft cloth.
