The Police Marietas PL16040MS02 brings contemporary femininity to wrist wear with its striking black dial adorned with delicate rose motifs in silver and black relief. At Cassims & Co., we are proud to offer this distinctive ladies' timepiece from Police, a brand renowned for bold design and accessible Swiss-inspired watchmaking. The stainless steel case measures 36mm in diameter with a distinctive elongated 42mm vertical profile, creating an elegant cushion shape that sits beautifully on the wrist. The mineral crystal glass protects the artfully decorated dial, where stylised roses cascade across the lower portion, complemented by Police's signature script at 12 o'clock and dauphine hands in polished steel.
Powered by a reliable Epson Y120F3 quartz movement, this timepiece delivers precision two-hand timekeeping without the need for frequent servicing. The red leather strap—featuring embossed rose patterns that echo the dial decoration—adds a romantic touch and secures with a traditional tang buckle. Water resistance is rated at 3 ATM (30 metres), making this watch suitable for everyday wear with protection against accidental splashes. This piece represents exceptional value from our CLEARANCE watches collection, offering Police's distinctive design language at an accessible price point.
The Marietas collection celebrates feminine sophistication with a modern edge, and this particular reference balances decorative artistry with everyday wearability. The stainless steel case features polished facets that catch the light beautifully, while the contrasting black dial creates depth and visual interest. The rose motifs are rendered in multiple finishes—some engraved into the dial surface, others applied in polished relief—creating a three-dimensional effect that elevates this piece beyond simple fashion horology. For those seeking a statement watch that combines romantic detailing with contemporary design, the Marietas PL16040MS02 delivers distinctive character. Visit us at our Mall of the South boutique to experience this timepiece in person, or take advantage of our nationwide delivery service across South Africa.
Should your Police watch require attention in the future, our watch servicing and repairs team at Cassims & Co. can assist with battery replacements, strap adjustments, and general maintenance to keep your timepiece performing beautifully for years to come.

FAQ
Q: Is the Police Marietas suitable for daily wear?
A: Yes, the Marietas PL16040MS02 is designed for everyday wear. The quartz movement requires minimal maintenance, and the 3 ATM water resistance protects against accidental splashes during handwashing or light rain. However, it should not be worn while swimming or showering.
Q: What does the 3 ATM water resistance rating mean?
A: 3 ATM (or 30 metres) water resistance means the watch can withstand accidental water exposure such as rain or handwashing, but it is not suitable for swimming, showering, or water sports. The crown should never be operated when the watch is wet.
Q: How often will the battery need replacing?
A: The Epson Y120F3 quartz movement typically provides 2-3 years of battery life under normal use. When replacement is needed, our team at Cassims & Co. can perform this service quickly and professionally, ensuring your watch remains water-resistant.
Q: Can the leather strap be replaced?
A: Yes, the 16mm leather strap can be replaced with any standard 16mm watch strap. We can assist with strap changes at our Mall of the South boutique, and we stock a selection of quality replacement straps suitable for this watch.
Q: What is the difference between mineral and sapphire crystal?
A: This watch features mineral crystal glass, which offers good scratch resistance for everyday wear at an accessible price point. Sapphire crystal, found on higher-end timepieces, is more scratch-resistant but also more expensive. Mineral crystal provides excellent value and durability for fashion and lifestyle watches.
Q: Is this watch suitable as a gift?
A: Absolutely. The Marietas PL16040MS02 makes an excellent gift for anyone who appreciates feminine design with contemporary flair. The romantic rose motifs and distinctive dial make it particularly suitable for birthdays, anniversaries, or special celebrations. We offer gift wrapping services at our boutique.
Q: Does the clearance pricing affect the warranty?
A: No, this watch carries the full 2-year international manufacturer warranty despite being offered at a clearance price. The warranty covers manufacturing defects and is valid from the date of purchase from Cassims & Co. as an authorised retailer.

Care Guide
- Wipe the stainless steel case and mineral crystal regularly with a soft, lint-free cloth to remove fingerprints and maintain lustre.
- Keep the leather strap dry and avoid prolonged exposure to water, humidity, or direct sunlight, which can cause discolouration and deterioration.
- When not wearing the watch, store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
- Avoid exposing the watch to chemicals including perfumes, cosmetics, cleaning products, and solvents, which can damage the strap and case finish.
- Do not operate the crown when the watch is wet or submerged, as this can compromise water resistance.
- Have the battery replaced by a professional watchmaker when the watch stops or shows signs of weak timekeeping. Our team at Cassims & Co. can perform this service with proper sealing to maintain water resistance.
- Clean the leather strap occasionally with a slightly damp cloth, then allow it to dry naturally away from heat sources.
- Avoid impact and knocks to the watch, particularly to the mineral crystal and crown.
- If the watch is not worn regularly, ensure it is stored in a position where the strap is not creased or bent.
