Description
The Police Menelik PEWJF0004303 is a commanding statement piece that fuses contemporary industrial design with technical functionality. Housed in a substantial 44mm black IP-coated stainless steel case with a brushed finish, this multifunction chronograph features a striking radial brushed charcoal grey dial with intricate skeletonised detailing that reveals the complexity of the VX9J quartz movement beneath. The bold hour markers and luminous hands ensure exceptional legibility, while the day-date complication at 12 o'clock and subsidiary dials add practical utility to this rugged timepiece.
Crafted for the modern individual who values both form and function, the Menelik PEWJF0004303 combines a robust 51.5mm lug-to-lug dimension with a comfortable black grained leather strap featuring contrasting stitching. The mineral crystal protects the intricate dial, and with 50 metres of water resistance (5 ATM), this watch is suitable for everyday wear and light splashes. The screw-down crown and chronograph pushers enhance the tactical aesthetic whilst maintaining the case integrity.
As an authorised retailer for POLICE watches, Cassims & Co. is proud to offer this exceptional timepiece with full manufacturer warranty and after-sales support. Each Police Menelik arrives in an exclusive presentation box, making it an ideal gift for those who appreciate bold, unconventional design.

FAQ
Q: What type of movement powers the Police Menelik PEWJF0004303?
A: This watch is powered by a VX9J quartz movement, which is battery-operated and known for its accuracy and low maintenance requirements. The battery typically lasts 2-3 years depending on usage of the chronograph functions.
Q: Is this watch suitable for swimming or water sports?
A: The Menelik is water-resistant to 50 metres (5 ATM), which makes it suitable for everyday splashes, hand washing, and brief immersion in water. However, it is not recommended for swimming, diving, or prolonged water exposure. The chronograph pushers should never be operated when the watch is wet.
Q: What is the difference between the multifunction and chronograph features?
A: This watch combines both. The multifunction aspect refers to the day-date complication visible at 12 o'clock. The chronograph functionality allows you to measure elapsed time using the subsidiary dials and pushers, making it useful for timing events.
Q: Can the leather strap be replaced?
A: Yes, the leather strap can be replaced. The watch uses a standard lug width, and we can assist with strap replacements at our Johannesburg showrooms. We stock a variety of replacement straps and can also order specific styles upon request.
Q: What does the black IP coating mean and how durable is it?
A: IP stands for Ion Plating, a process that bonds a black coating to the stainless steel case. This creates the distinctive dark finish and provides scratch resistance. While durable, the coating can show wear over time with heavy use, particularly on edges and high-contact areas.
Q: Does this watch come with a warranty?
A: Yes, the Police Menelik carries a 2-year international manufacturer warranty from the date of purchase when bought from an authorised retailer like Cassims & Co. The warranty covers manufacturing defects but excludes normal wear, battery replacement, and damage from misuse.
Q: How do I adjust the day and date complications?
A: The day-date complications are adjusted using the crown in different positions. Pull the crown to the first position to adjust the date, and to the second position to set the time. Avoid adjusting the date between 9 PM and 3 AM to prevent damage to the movement mechanism. We recommend visiting our boutique for a demonstration.
Warranty

Care guide
- Wipe the case and crystal regularly with a soft, lint-free cloth to remove dirt, perspiration, and oils
- Keep the watch away from strong magnetic fields (speakers, mobile phones, magnetic clasps) which can affect timekeeping accuracy
- Avoid operating the chronograph pushers or crown when the watch is wet or submerged
- Have the battery replaced by a qualified watchmaker every 2-3 years; we recommend our authorised service centre to maintain warranty validity
- Store the watch in its original box or a dedicated watch case when not wearing it to prevent scratches
- Avoid exposing the watch to extreme temperatures, chemicals, solvents, or perfumes which can damage the case finish and leather strap
- Clean the leather strap with a slightly damp cloth and allow it to air dry naturally; avoid prolonged water exposure which can damage the leather
- Do not attempt to open the case back yourself, as this will void the manufacturer warranty
- Have the watch inspected annually at our service centre to ensure water resistance seals remain intact
- Avoid impact and dropping the watch, as quartz movements contain delicate electronic components
