The Police Burbank PEWGI0054004 chronograph watch embodies bold contemporary design with technical precision. Finished in a striking all-black ion-plated stainless steel case and bracelet, this 45mm timepiece commands attention with its skeletal dial construction, revealing intricate textured patterns beneath three chronograph sub-dials. The quartz movement (calibre VD57) ensures reliable timekeeping, while the multi-layered dial architecture creates exceptional depth and visual intrigue.
Engineered for everyday versatility, the Burbank offers 50-metre water resistance and features a date display positioned at 4 o'clock alongside its chronograph complication. The robust stainless steel construction is enhanced by a scratch-resistant ion-plating process that delivers both durability and a distinctive matte-black aesthetic. Applied hour markers and luminous accents ensure legibility in all lighting conditions, while the textured crown and pushers provide tactile functionality.

FAQ
Q: Is this watch suitable for swimming or water sports?
A: The Police Burbank offers 50-metre water resistance, making it suitable for everyday splashes and brief immersion such as handwashing or rain exposure. However, it is not recommended for swimming, diving, or water sports. The chronograph pushers should never be operated underwater, as this can compromise the seal and allow water ingress.
Q: How do I operate the chronograph function on this watch?
A: The chronograph is operated via the two pushers on the right side of the case. The top pusher (typically at 2 o'clock) starts and stops the chronograph, whilst the bottom pusher (at 4 o'clock) resets the chronograph hands to zero. The three sub-dials track elapsed seconds, minutes, and hours respectively.
Q: What is the expected battery life for this quartz movement?
A: The VD57 quartz chronograph movement typically provides 2-3 years of battery life under normal usage conditions. Frequent use of the chronograph function may reduce battery lifespan slightly. When battery replacement is needed, visit Cassim & Co. for professional service to maintain your watch's water resistance integrity.
Q: Will the black ion plating wear off over time?
A: Ion plating (IP) is a highly durable PVD coating process that bonds the black finish to the stainless steel at a molecular level. With proper care, the coating should remain intact for many years. However, significant impacts, abrasion against hard surfaces, or exposure to harsh chemicals may cause localised wear over extended periods. Avoid knocking the watch against hard objects to preserve the finish.
Q: Can the bracelet be adjusted to fit my wrist?
A: Yes, the stainless steel bracelet features removable links that allow for precise sizing adjustments. Our team at Cassim & Co. provides complimentary bracelet sizing at the time of purchase when you visit our Mall of the South boutique, ensuring a perfect fit before you leave the store.
Q: Is this an authorised Police watch with a valid warranty?
A: Absolutely. Cassim & Co. is an authorised Police retailer, and every watch purchased from us includes the full 2-year international Police manufacturer warranty, valid from your date of purchase. This warranty is only applicable when purchasing from authorised retailers and covers manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship.
Q: What style of dress does this watch best complement?
A: The Police Burbank's bold all-black aesthetic and 45mm case make it an ideal statement piece for casual and smart-casual attire. The sporty chronograph design pairs excellently with contemporary urban fashion, denim, leather jackets, and modern streetwear. Its assertive presence makes it less suited to formal business or black-tie occasions.
Warranty
- This Police watch is covered by a 2-year international manufacturer 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.
- The warranty does not cover: normal wear and tear, battery replacement, scratches or cosmetic damage to the case/crystal/bracelet, damage caused by accidents or improper use, water damage resulting from misuse (such as operating pushers underwater), or unauthorised modifications or repairs.
- To maintain warranty validity, any servicing or repairs must be carried out by authorised service centres. Unauthorised intervention voids the warranty.
- Proof of purchase from an authorised Police retailer is required for all warranty claims.
- The warranty does not extend the original 2-year period following repair or replacement of parts.
- Water resistance is not a permanent condition and may diminish over time due to ageing of gaskets; regular water resistance testing is recommended but not covered under warranty.
- For warranty service or enquiries, contact Cassim & Co. with your original purchase receipt.
Care Guide
- Avoid exposing the watch to extreme temperatures, direct sunlight for prolonged periods, or magnetic fields which may affect timekeeping accuracy.
- Do not operate the chronograph pushers or crown whilst the watch is wet or submerged, as this may compromise water resistance seals.
- Clean the case and bracelet regularly with a soft, lint-free cloth to remove perspiration, dust, and oils. For deeper cleaning, use lukewarm water and mild soap, then dry thoroughly.
- Have the battery replaced by a qualified watchmaker when the watch stops or displays erratic timekeeping. Battery replacement should include a water resistance pressure test.
- Avoid contact with chemicals, solvents, perfumes, cosmetics, and cleaning agents, as these may damage the ion-plated finish or seals.
- Store the watch in a cool, dry place away from moisture when not being worn. A watch box or pouch is ideal for protection.
- Although the ion-plated coating is durable, avoid knocking the watch against hard surfaces or abrasive materials to preserve the black finish.
- If the watch is not worn for extended periods, operate the chronograph function occasionally to keep the mechanism lubricated and functioning smoothly.
- Have the water resistance tested every 12-18 months if the watch is regularly exposed to moisture, and replace gaskets as recommended by a qualified watchmaker.
