FAQ
Q: What type of movement powers this Police Menelik watch?
A: This watch is powered by a reliable quartz movement, which operates via battery and requires no winding. Quartz movements are known for exceptional accuracy and low maintenance, typically requiring a battery replacement every 2-3 years.
Q: Is the Police Menelik suitable for swimming or water activities?
A: With 50 metres (5 ATM) of water resistance, this watch is suitable for splashes, rain, and brief immersion such as handwashing or showering. However, it is not recommended for swimming, diving, or water sports. Avoid operating the chronograph pushers or crown when the watch is wet or submerged.
Q: What does the skeleton dial reveal on this watch?
A: The skeletonized dial showcases layered mechanical aesthetics with visible gears and sub-dial architecture beneath the main dial surface. While this is a quartz watch (not a mechanical movement), the design creates visual depth and architectural interest that sets the Menelik apart from traditional chronograph designs.
Q: Can the leather strap be replaced if it wears out?
A: Yes, the 22mm textured leather strap can be replaced. We stock compatible straps at our Mall of the South boutique and can professionally fit a replacement for you. The standard lug width makes it compatible with a variety of aftermarket straps should you wish to customise the look.
Q: What functions do the sub-dials on this chronograph provide?
A: The Police Menelik features multifunction sub-dials typically including a 24-hour indicator and additional timekeeping registers. The chronograph function allows you to time events via the pushers flanking the crown, with the sub-dials displaying elapsed time increments.
Q: How do I set the time and date on this watch?
A: Pull the crown out to the second position to set the time by rotating it clockwise or anticlockwise. The date function is typically adjusted by pulling the crown to the first position and rotating. Avoid setting the date between 9pm and 3am to prevent damage to the internal mechanism. Full instructions are included with your purchase.
