The Police Cyclone Automatic PEWGR0082202 is a commanding statement of contemporary horological design, marrying robust materials with mechanical transparency. This automatic timepiece features a fully skeletonised dial that exposes the intricate JX-2802 automatic movement beneath a protective mineral crystal, allowing you to witness the mechanical ballet of gears, bridges, and the oscillating balance wheel with every glance. The 43mm case combines brushed stainless steel with black PVD-coated elements, creating a bold bi-material aesthetic reinforced by rose gold-toned screws that punctuate the bezel and case construction. The architectural dial layout reveals layered movement components finished in gunmetal grey, contrasted by rose gold-toned hour markers and hands that ensure legibility despite the open-worked design.
Designed for the wearer who appreciates mechanical watchmaking without pretension, the Cyclone Automatic is powered by a reliable automatic movement that winds itself through the natural motion of your wrist, eliminating the need for battery replacements. The transparent case elements at the lugs add a futuristic dimension to the design, while the substantial black silicone strap with integrated ventilation slots ensures comfort during extended wear. Water resistance to 5 ATM (approximately 50 metres) provides protection against splashes and brief immersion, making this a versatile daily companion. At Cassim & Co., we are proud to offer this distinctive timepiece as authorised retailers of POLICE watches, ensuring authenticity and full manufacturer warranty support.
The Police Cyclone PEWGR0082202 carries the brand's signature bold aesthetic, rooted in Italian design sensibilities that favour technical complexity and unapologetic presence. The automatic movement visible through the skeleton dial operates at a standard frequency, storing energy in a mainspring that unwinds gradually to power the watch throughout the day and into the evening. The combination of stainless steel durability, PVD coating resistance, and the tactile quality of the silicone strap creates a watch built for contemporary lifestyles. Whether you're drawn to the mechanical transparency, the architectural case construction, or the distinctive Police design language, the Cyclone Automatic delivers a compelling ownership experience. Our watch servicing and repairs team is always on hand to support your timepiece throughout its lifetime, and we invite you to experience this watch in person at our Mall of the South boutique in Johannesburg, where our specialists can guide you through its features and ensure the perfect fit on your wrist.

FAQ
Q: What is a skeleton dial and why is it significant?
A: A skeleton dial is one where the dial plate has been removed or extensively cut away to reveal the mechanical movement beneath. In the Police Cyclone PEWGR0082202, this design choice allows you to observe the automatic movement's gears, bridges, and balance wheel in operation, celebrating the mechanical artistry of traditional watchmaking. It transforms the watch into a kinetic sculpture on your wrist.
Q: How does an automatic movement work and do I need to wind it?
A: An automatic movement is a self-winding mechanical calibre that uses a weighted rotor inside the case. As you move your wrist throughout the day, the rotor spins and winds the mainspring, storing energy to power the watch. If worn regularly, the Cyclone will maintain its power reserve without manual winding. If the watch stops after being left unworn, simply wear it for several hours or gently shake it to restart the movement.
Q: Is this watch suitable for swimming or water sports?
A: The Police Cyclone is water resistant to 5 ATM (approximately 50 metres), which provides protection against splashes, rain, and brief immersion such as hand washing. It is not suitable for swimming, showering, or any water sports. The mineral crystal and case seals protect the mechanical movement from moisture under normal daily conditions, but submersion should be avoided.
Q: What is PVD coating and how durable is it?
A: PVD (Physical Vapour Deposition) is an advanced coating process that bonds a thin layer of material—in this case, black colouration—to the stainless steel case components. PVD coatings are highly durable and scratch-resistant compared to traditional plating methods, though they are not impervious to damage. With reasonable care, the black PVD elements on the Cyclone will maintain their appearance for many years of wear.
Q: How often does an automatic watch need servicing?
A: Automatic mechanical movements typically require professional servicing every 3-5 years to maintain optimal performance. During servicing, the movement is disassembled, cleaned, lubricated, and regulated. At Cassim & Co., our watch servicing specialists can advise on the appropriate service intervals for your Police Cyclone and perform maintenance when required, ensuring longevity and accuracy.
Q: Can the silicone strap be replaced or adjusted?
A: Yes, the silicone strap features a standard pin buckle clasp that allows you to adjust the fit by selecting different holes along the strap length. Should you wish to replace the strap in the future, our team at Cassim & Co. can assist with sourcing compatible Police straps or recommending alternative options that suit the 43mm case and lug configuration.
Q: What is the accuracy of the automatic movement?
A: Automatic mechanical movements typically maintain accuracy within -10 to +30 seconds per day, depending on various factors including wrist activity, position, temperature, and service condition. The JX-2802 calibre in the Police Cyclone is designed for reliable daily performance. If you notice accuracy falling outside acceptable parameters, our servicing team can regulate the movement to improve timekeeping performance.

Care Guide
- Store your automatic watch in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not being worn to protect the silicone strap and movement lubricants.
- Avoid exposing the watch to strong magnetic fields (speakers, laptops, magnetic clasps) as magnetisation can affect the accuracy of the mechanical movement.
- Do not operate the crown while the watch is wet or submerged, as this can compromise the water resistance seals.
- Clean the stainless steel case and PVD-coated elements with a soft, slightly damp microfibre cloth to remove fingerprints, dust, and perspiration.
- Clean the silicone strap regularly with mild soap and lukewarm water, then dry thoroughly to prevent skin irritation and material degradation.
- Avoid contact with chemicals, solvents, perfumes, and cleaning products, which can damage the strap material, PVD coating, and movement seals.
- If the watch has been unworn for an extended period and stops, gently shake it or wear it to restart the automatic movement rather than forcing the crown.
- Have the water resistance seals and gaskets tested annually if you regularly expose the watch to moisture, even within its 5 ATM rating.
- Avoid impacts, drops, and extreme temperature fluctuations, which can damage the mechanical movement and case integrity.
- Service the automatic movement every 3-5 years with a qualified watchmaker to maintain accuracy, lubrication, and long-term reliability.
