FAQ
Q: What movement powers the Police Malawi PEWJF0004602?
A: The Malawi is powered by a quartz movement, offering exceptional accuracy and reliability with minimal maintenance. Quartz movements require a battery change approximately every 2-3 years, which our servicing team can perform for you.
Q: Is this watch suitable for swimming or water sports?
A: The Malawi has a water resistance rating of 5 ATM (50 metres), making it suitable for everyday splashes and brief immersion such as handwashing or rain exposure. However, it is not recommended for swimming, showering, or water sports, as the pushers should not be operated underwater and prolonged submersion may compromise the seals.
Q: What does the day-date complication display?
A: The sub-dial at the 12 o'clock position displays both the day of the week and the date, providing useful calendar functionality for daily wear. This is set via the crown and should be adjusted outside the restricted hours (typically 8pm-4am) to avoid damaging the mechanism.
Q: Can the leather strap be replaced or adjusted?
A: Yes, the 22mm brown leather strap can be sized at our boutique for the perfect fit on your wrist. Should you wish to change the strap in future, any quality 22mm aftermarket strap will be compatible, or we can source a replacement Police original strap for you.
Q: What is the function of the chronograph sub-dials?
A: The Malawi features a 30-minute chronograph counter and a small seconds sub-dial. The chronograph is operated via the pushers on the right side of the case: the top pusher starts and stops the timing function, while the bottom pusher resets the chronograph hands to zero.
Q: Does the black finish wear off over time?
A: The black ion-plated (IP) finish on the stainless steel case is highly durable and resistant to fading. However, like all PVD or IP coatings, it can show scratches or wear over time with heavy use, particularly on high-contact areas. Proper care and avoiding impacts will help preserve the finish.
Q: Is this watch covered by an international warranty?
A: Yes, as an authorised Police retailer, Cassims & Co. provides the full 2-year international Police warranty with this watch. The warranty covers manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship and is valid from the date of purchase. Your warranty card will be stamped and dated at the time of sale.
Warranty
- This watch is covered by a 2-year international Police warranty from the date of purchase, valid worldwide when purchased from an authorised retailer.
- The warranty covers manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship under normal use conditions.
- The warranty does not cover normal wear and tear, scratches, strap wear, battery replacements, or crystal damage from impact.
- Water damage resulting from misuse (such as operating pushers underwater or exceeding the stated water resistance rating) is not covered.
- Damage caused by accidents, improper handling, unauthorised modifications, or repairs performed by non-authorised service centres will void the warranty.
- The warranty is only valid when the watch is purchased from an authorised Police retailer such as Cassims & Co., and the warranty card must be completed and stamped at the time of purchase.

Care Guide
- Avoid exposing the watch to extreme temperatures, strong magnetic fields, or harsh chemicals including perfumes, solvents, and cleaning products.
- The 5 ATM water resistance rating means the watch can withstand splashes and brief immersion, but should not be worn while swimming, showering, or engaging in water sports.
- Never operate the chronograph pushers or adjust the crown while the watch is wet or submerged, as this may compromise the water resistance.
- Clean the case and crystal regularly with a soft, slightly damp cloth. For the leather strap, use a dry cloth only and avoid prolonged exposure to water or moisture.
- The leather strap is a natural material and will develop a patina over time. Keep it away from direct sunlight, excessive moisture, and oils to extend its lifespan.
- When not in use, store the watch in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Avoid storing in humid environments which can affect both the movement and leather strap.
- Have the battery replaced by a professional watchmaker when the watch stops or shows signs of low power. Our servicing team uses genuine replacement batteries and will test the water resistance seals during battery changes.
- The black ion-plated finish is durable but can scratch. Avoid impacts and abrasive surfaces, and remove the watch during heavy manual work or contact sports.
- We recommend a service check every 3-4 years to ensure the movement, seals, and case remain in optimal condition.
