The Police Defender PEWJK2227812 is a bold expression of contemporary horological design, engineered for the modern individual who values precision and statement-making aesthetics. This commanding timepiece features a distinctive brown skeletonised dial with rose gold-tone accents, revealing the intricate multi-layered architecture beneath. The robust 45mm round stainless steel case houses a reliable quartz chronograph movement, combining technical functionality with striking visual appeal.
The dial's complexity is immediately apparent: three chronograph sub-dials arranged in a symmetrical layout provide stopwatch functionality, whilst the central skeletonised structure showcases the watch's architectural depth. Rose gold-tone hands and hour markers contrast beautifully against the brown dial, ensuring legibility whilst maintaining the watch's sophisticated aesthetic. The Police logo sits prominently at 12 o'clock, flanked by applied luminous markers that provide visibility in low-light conditions.
Constructed from high-grade stainless steel, the case measures 45mm in diameter by 53mm lug-to-lug, with an 11.5mm profile that sits purposefully on the wrist. The integrated stainless steel bracelet features a brushed finish that complements the case treatment, secured by a reliable fold-over clasp. Water resistance to 50 metres (5 ATM) provides protection against splashes and brief immersion, making this timepiece suitable for daily wear in most conditions.

FAQ
Q: Is this Police Defender watch suitable for swimming?
A: The Defender PEWJK2227812 has a water resistance rating of 50 metres (5 ATM), which protects against splashes, rain, and brief immersion such as handwashing. However, it is not recommended for swimming, diving, or showering, as the chronograph pushers should not be operated underwater and hot water or steam can compromise the seals.
Q: How does the chronograph function work on this watch?
A: The chronograph is a stopwatch complication operated via the pushers on the right side of the case. The top pusher starts and stops the chronograph, whilst the bottom pusher resets it to zero. The three sub-dials on the brown skeletonised dial track elapsed seconds, minutes, and hours, allowing you to measure time intervals with precision.
Q: What type of battery does this Police watch use and how long does it last?
A: This quartz chronograph uses a standard watch battery that typically lasts between 2-3 years depending on chronograph usage. When replacement is needed, visit our Mall of the South boutique where our watchmakers can replace the battery, pressure-test the seals, and ensure continued water resistance, all whilst you wait.
Q: Can the stainless steel bracelet be adjusted to fit my wrist?
A: Absolutely. The stainless steel bracelet features removable links that can be professionally adjusted to achieve a perfect fit. Our team at Cassim & Co. provides complimentary bracelet sizing with every purchase, ensuring optimal comfort from the moment you receive your watch. Additional adjustments are always available through our servicing department.
Q: What is the significance of the rose gold-tone accents on the dial?
A: The rose gold-tone hands, hour markers, and dial details create a sophisticated contrast against the brown skeletonised dial, enhancing legibility whilst adding a premium aesthetic dimension. This two-tone colour scheme is a signature design element of the Police Defender collection, combining steel's durability with rose gold's warm elegance.
Q: Does this watch come with an official Police warranty?
A: Yes, as an authorised Police retailer, Cassim & Co. provides every Defender watch with a comprehensive 2-year international manufacturer warranty from the date of purchase. This warranty covers manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship, and is honoured at authorised service centres worldwide. Your warranty card and proof of purchase will be included with your timepiece.
Q: What is the lug width for this Police Defender watch?
A: Whilst the integrated stainless steel bracelet is designed specifically for this model and provides the optimal aesthetic match, the standard lug width for the 45mm Defender case is typically 22mm. If you're considering aftermarket straps, we recommend consulting with our team to ensure proper fit and compatibility, as the bracelet integration may affect strap options.

Care Guide
- Daily Wear: Avoid impacts, shocks, and extreme temperatures that may affect the quartz movement's accuracy or damage the case and crystal.
- Water Exposure: Whilst rated to 50 metres, do not operate the chronograph pushers when the watch is wet or submerged, as this can compromise water resistance. Rinse with fresh water after exposure to salt water or chlorine.
- Cleaning: Clean the stainless steel case and bracelet regularly using a soft, lint-free cloth. For deeper cleaning, use lukewarm water with mild soap and a soft brush, ensuring the crown is fully pushed in. Dry thoroughly with a soft cloth.
- Bracelet Maintenance: The stainless steel bracelet should be cleaned periodically to remove dirt, sweat, and oils that accumulate between links. A soft toothbrush with mild soapy water works well for this purpose.
- Crown Care: Always ensure the crown is pushed fully in against the case after any adjustments. Never pull the crown or operate the chronograph pushers underwater.
- Battery Replacement: When the watch stops or the seconds hand begins jumping in irregular intervals, the battery requires replacement. Have this done by a qualified watchmaker who can pressure-test the seals and maintain water resistance.
- Storage: When not wearing your Police Defender, store it in a cool, dry place away from magnetic fields, extreme temperatures, and direct sunlight. The original box provides ideal protection.
- Servicing: We recommend a complete service every 3-4 years, including movement inspection, seal replacement, case refinishing, and water resistance testing to maintain optimal performance.
- Magnetic Fields: Avoid prolonged exposure to strong magnetic fields from speakers, mobile phones, magnetic clasps, and electronics, as these can affect the quartz movement's accuracy.
- Chemicals: Avoid contact with solvents, detergents, perfumes, cosmetics, and chemicals that may damage the case finish, seals, or bracelet.
