The Police Knotty Skeleton represents a bold departure from conventional chronograph design, embracing industrial aesthetics with its full skeleton dial and gunmetal-grey ion-plated stainless steel case. At 42mm, this quartz-powered timepiece strikes a commanding presence on the wrist, its architectural dial revealing intricate gearing and multi-function sub-dials finished with contrasting gold-tone accents. The exposed movement aesthetic, while visually mechanical, is driven by a reliable Japanese quartz calibre, offering precision timekeeping and chronograph functionality without the maintenance demands of automatic movements.
The gunmetal ion-plating process not only delivers a distinctive matte-grey finish but also enhances surface hardness and scratch resistance compared to standard stainless steel. Four gold-tone screws punctuate the octagonal bezel, echoing high-end sports watch design language, whilst the matching ion-plated bracelet features a robust three-link construction with polished centre links. Gold-tone hour markers and hands provide legibility against the skeletal backdrop, with luminous material applied for low-light visibility. The chronograph sub-dials track elapsed time with technical precision, complemented by day-date functionality at the 3 o'clock position.
As an authorised retailer of POLICE watches, Cassim & Co. guarantees the authenticity of every timepiece we supply, backed by the full 2-year international Police warranty. This particular model is water-resistant to 50 metres, suitable for everyday wear and occasional splashes but not recommended for swimming or water sports. The screw-down crown ensures reliable protection against moisture ingress during normal use.

FAQ
Q: Is this watch fully automatic or battery-powered?
A: The Police Knotty Skeleton is powered by a Japanese quartz movement, which means it runs on a battery rather than automatic winding. This provides superior accuracy and eliminates the need for daily wear or manual winding, whilst the skeleton dial aesthetic delivers the visual appeal of a mechanical movement.
Q: What does the 50-metre water resistance rating actually mean for everyday use?
A: A 50-metre (5 ATM) water resistance rating makes this watch suitable for everyday wear, hand washing, and light rain exposure. It is not suitable for swimming, showering, or any water sports. The screw-down crown must always be fully secured to maintain water resistance.
Q: Can I swim or shower with this watch?
A: No, we do not recommend swimming or showering with this watch. Whilst it offers 50-metre water resistance, this rating is designed for splashes and brief immersion only. Hot water, soap, and prolonged submersion can compromise the seals and are not covered under warranty.
Q: How long will the battery last, and where can I get it replaced?
A: A standard quartz battery typically lasts 2-3 years depending on usage. When replacement is needed, visit our Mall of the South boutique where our watchmakers will fit a genuine replacement battery and pressure-test the case seals to ensure continued water resistance.
Q: What makes the gunmetal finish different from regular stainless steel?
A: The gunmetal finish is achieved through ion plating, a process that bonds a hard grey coating to the stainless steel substrate. This not only creates the distinctive matte-grey aesthetic but also significantly improves scratch resistance compared to uncoated steel. The coating is durable but not indestructible—avoid impacts against hard surfaces.
Q: Is the bracelet adjustable, and do you offer free sizing?
A: Yes, the stainless steel bracelet features removable links for precise sizing. We offer complimentary bracelet adjustment at our Mall of the South boutique when you collect your watch, or we can size it before dispatch for delivery orders—simply provide your wrist measurement at checkout.
Q: Does this watch come with the official Police warranty?
A: Yes, as an authorised Police retailer, every watch we supply is covered by the full 2-year international Police warranty from the date of purchase. This covers manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship when purchased from an authorised dealer such as Cassim & Co.

Care Guide
- Wipe the case and bracelet regularly with a soft, lint-free cloth to remove perspiration, dust, and oils that can dull the gunmetal finish over time.
- Avoid exposing the watch to harsh chemicals, solvents, perfumes, or cleaning products, as these can damage the ion-plated coating and compromise water resistance seals.
- Ensure the screw-down crown is fully tightened after setting the time or date to maintain the 50-metre water resistance rating.
- Do not operate the chronograph pushers or pull out the crown when the watch is wet or submerged, as moisture may enter the case.
- Remove the watch before showering, swimming, or engaging in water sports—the 50-metre rating is for splashes and brief immersion only.
- Store your watch in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and magnetic fields when not in use. A watch box or soft pouch will protect the finish from scratches.
- Avoid impacts, knocks, and contact with hard surfaces, as the ion-plated coating, whilst durable, can be marked by severe abrasion or sharp blows.
- Have the battery replaced by a qualified watchmaker when the watch stops or begins to lose time. We recommend our in-house service team to ensure genuine parts and proper resealing.
- Periodically check the bracelet screws and clasp for tightness, especially after resizing or heavy wear.
- If you notice condensation under the crystal or moisture inside the case, discontinue use immediately and bring the watch to our boutique for inspection and servicing.
