The Police Daintree PEWGQ2203605 redefines contemporary masculinity with an unapologetically bold design philosophy. Housed in a 45mm black ion-plated stainless steel case with an architectural dial construction, this quartz chronograph showcases Police's signature industrial aesthetic through layered sub-dials, geometric indexes, and dimensional texturing that creates remarkable depth and visual intrigue. The sculpted case architecture and tactical crown guards deliver commanding wrist presence while maintaining surprising wearability through ergonomic case profiling.
At Cassim & Co., we recognise that modern watch enthusiasts demand both visual impact and reliable performance. The Daintree's Japanese quartz chronograph movement delivers precise timekeeping alongside functional chronograph complications, while the black silicone strap with distinctive architectural ribbing ensures comfort during extended wear. Water resistance to 50 metres provides adequate protection for daily activities, though this timepiece is engineered primarily as a statement of personal style rather than a tool watch.
The Daintree collection represents Police's evolution from fashion accessory brand to credible timepiece manufacturer, and this model exemplifies that progression through thoughtful design execution and quality construction. The entirely monochromatic black colour palette creates a cohesive visual statement that pairs effortlessly with contemporary menswear, from casual denim to tailored business attire. Our curated selection of POLICE watches showcases the brand's commitment to accessible luxury and distinctive design language.
Visit us at our Mall of the South boutique to experience the Daintree's substantial wrist presence firsthand and explore proper sizing options. Our experienced team can guide you through the technical features and discuss how this timepiece integrates into your existing collection. Should you require any adjustments or maintenance, our watch servicing and repairs team provides comprehensive after-sales support including battery replacement, strap adjustments, and general maintenance to ensure your Police timepiece performs flawlessly for years to come.

FAQ
Q: Is the Police Daintree suitable for swimming or water sports?
A: With 50 metres water resistance, the Daintree can withstand splashes, rain, and brief immersion such as handwashing. However, it is not recommended for swimming, showering, or any water sports activities. The chronograph pushers should never be operated when the watch is wet or submerged.
Q: How long will the battery last in this quartz chronograph?
A: Standard quartz chronograph movements typically provide 2-3 years of battery life depending on usage patterns, particularly how frequently the chronograph function is activated. When battery replacement is required, visit our Mall of the South boutique for professional service to maintain water resistance integrity.
Q: Will the black ion plating wear off over time?
A: Black ion plating (IP) is a durable surface treatment that bonds at the molecular level with the stainless steel substrate. While highly resistant to everyday wear, it can show signs of use over time with heavy impact or abrasion against hard surfaces. Proper care as outlined in our care guide will preserve the finish significantly.
Q: Can the silicone strap be replaced with a different style?
A: The Daintree features a 26mm lug width, which is compatible with aftermarket straps of the same width. However, given the watch's distinctive industrial aesthetic and substantial case architecture, the original silicone strap is specifically designed to complement the overall design language. Our team can advise on suitable alternatives.
Q: Is this watch too large for smaller wrists?
A: At 45mm diameter with prominent crown guards and architectural case extensions, the Daintree wears larger than its stated dimensions suggest. We recommend trying it on in person at our boutique to assess fit and proportion for your specific wrist size. Generally, wrist circumferences below 165mm may find this watch overwhelming.
Q: Does the chronograph function affect timekeeping accuracy?
A: The quartz movement maintains consistent accuracy regardless of chronograph usage. However, activating and running the chronograph continuously will increase battery consumption. The chronograph operates independently from the main timekeeping circuit and can be used as needed without affecting time accuracy.
Q: What is included with the watch purchase?
A: Your Police Daintree arrives in official Police presentation packaging with instruction manual, international warranty card, and all relevant documentation. As an authorised Police retailer, Cassim & Co. ensures full manufacturer warranty activation and provides comprehensive after-sales support throughout the ownership experience.

- Water damage resulting from improper use, including operating pushers or crown while submerged, or failure to maintain water resistance through regular servicing, is excluded from warranty coverage
- Accidental damage, misuse, unauthorised repairs or modifications, and damage from extreme conditions void the manufacturer warranty
- To claim warranty service, the original purchase receipt and completed warranty card must be presented; warranty is non-transferable

Care Guide
- Rinse the watch with fresh water after exposure to saltwater, chlorine, or perspiration to prevent corrosion and maintain the integrity of seals and gaskets
- Never operate the chronograph pushers or crown while the watch is wet or submerged, as this can compromise water resistance and allow moisture intrusion
- Clean the black ion-plated case periodically with a soft, slightly damp microfibre cloth; avoid abrasive materials or harsh chemicals that may damage the finish
- Clean the silicone strap regularly with mild soap and water, rinsing thoroughly and allowing to air dry completely before wearing
- Avoid direct impacts, particularly to the crystal, crown, and pushers, as the chronograph mechanism contains delicate components sensitive to shock
- Store the watch in a cool, dry environment away from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and magnetic fields which can affect timekeeping accuracy
- Have the battery replaced by qualified professionals when the watch stops or displays erratic timekeeping; never attempt to open the case yourself as this voids warranty
- We recommend professional water resistance testing every 18-24 months if the watch is regularly exposed to moisture, particularly after any case opening for battery service
- The black ion plating, while durable, will show wear patterns over time with regular use; this is normal patina development and adds character to the timepiece
- Avoid prolonged exposure to harsh chemicals, solvents, perfumes, and cosmetics which can degrade rubber straps and affect case finishes
