FAQ
Q: What functions does the Police Malawi chronograph offer?
A: The Malawi features a full chronograph complication with three sub-dials displaying elapsed seconds, minutes, and hours. Additional functions include day-of-week and date indicators, making it a comprehensive multi-function timepiece for daily wear.
Q: Is the gunmetal finish durable?
A: Yes, the gunmetal finish is achieved through ion-plating, a process that bonds the coating to the stainless steel at a molecular level. This provides superior durability and scratch resistance compared to standard plating methods, ensuring the distinctive finish endures with proper care.
Q: Can I wear this watch while swimming?
A: With 50-metre water resistance, the Malawi is suitable for showering, swimming in shallow water, and everyday splashes. However, we recommend against diving, high-velocity water sports, or prolonged submersion. Always ensure the crown is pushed in fully before water exposure.
Q: What powers the Police Malawi?
A: The Malawi uses a precision quartz movement, offering accurate timekeeping with minimal maintenance. The battery typically lasts 2-3 years under normal use, and our service team at Cassims & Co. can replace it when needed.
Q: Is this watch suitable for smaller wrists?
A: The 45mm case diameter makes a bold statement and is best suited to medium to larger wrists (approximately 17cm circumference and above). We recommend trying the watch in person at our Mall of the South boutique to assess the fit and presence on your wrist.
Q: Does Cassims & Co. offer bracelet adjustment?
A: Yes, we provide complimentary bracelet sizing at the time of purchase. The stainless steel bracelet can be adjusted by removing or adding links to achieve the perfect fit. Our team will ensure optimal comfort before you leave the store.
Q: What makes Police watches distinctive?
A: Police is known for bold, architectural designs with urban edge. The brand incorporates signature elements like the wings logo, oversized cases, and distinctive dial textures. Each Police watch combines Italian design sensibility with contemporary masculine aesthetics, appealing to those who appreciate statement timepieces.

Care Guide
- Wipe the case and bracelet with a soft, lint-free cloth after each wear to remove perspiration, oils, and environmental residue that can dull the ion-plated finish
- Avoid direct contact with harsh chemicals, solvents, perfumes, and cleaning products, as these can degrade the gunmetal plating over time
- Remove the watch before engaging in high-impact activities, contact sports, or heavy manual work to prevent scratches and impacts to the case and crystal
- Store the watch in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight when not in use; avoid leaving it near magnetic sources such as speakers or mobile devices
- Have the water resistance tested annually, especially if you frequently expose the watch to water, as gasket seals degrade over time
- When not worn regularly, keep the watch wound or activated monthly to maintain chronograph function and prevent lubricant coagulation in the movement
- Clean the bracelet periodically with lukewarm water and a soft brush, ensuring all moisture is thoroughly dried afterward—never submerge with the crown in the pulled position
- Avoid exposing the watch to extreme temperature fluctuations, which can affect both the quartz movement accuracy and the integrity of case seals
- For professional servicing, including battery replacement and gasket renewal, consult Cassims & Co. to maintain your manufacturer warranty
