The Police Norwood PEWJF0021901 is a bold statement in contemporary horology, designed for those who appreciate audacious styling and robust chronograph functionality. This 45mm quartz timepiece features a striking skeleton dial that exposes the intricate inner workings beneath three chronograph sub-dials and oversized Arabic numerals at 12, 2, 4, 8, and 10 o'clock. The stainless steel case architecture combines brushed and polished surfaces with prominent corner guards, creating a commanding wrist presence that is unmistakably Police.
Powered by a precision quartz movement, the Norwood offers reliable chronograph performance with three sub-dials tracking elapsed time, while a date aperture positioned at 6 o'clock maintains everyday practicality. The blue crocodile-embossed leather strap complements the grey skeleton dial, and the watch is water-resistant to 50 metres (5 ATM), making it suitable for daily wear and incidental water exposure. At Cassims & Co., we are proud to be an authorised Police retailer, ensuring every timepiece is genuine and backed by the manufacturer's international warranty.
The Norwood collection represents Police's design philosophy of merging urban edge with technical capability. The skeletonised dial construction reveals partial movement components, offering visual depth and horological intrigue without the complexity of a fully mechanical calibre. This approach delivers the aesthetic appeal of exhibition movements while maintaining the accuracy and low-maintenance advantages of quartz technology. Whether you're drawn to the architectural case design or the layered dial execution, this watch commands attention in any setting.
Our full range of POLICE watches showcases the brand's commitment to bold, contemporary design that challenges conventional watch aesthetics. We invite you to visit us at our Mall of the South boutique to experience the Norwood's substantial wrist presence and finishing quality in person, where our knowledgeable team can assist with sizing and styling advice. Our watch servicing and repairs team is always available to support your timepiece with battery replacements, strap changes, and professional maintenance throughout your ownership experience.

FAQ
Q: Is the Police Norwood a mechanical or quartz watch?
A: The Police Norwood PEWJF0021901 is powered by a precision quartz movement, which offers excellent accuracy and requires minimal maintenance compared to mechanical movements. The battery typically lasts 2-3 years under normal use, and our team at Cassims & Co. can replace it when needed.
Q: What does the chronograph function do on this watch?
A: The chronograph is a stopwatch function operated via the pushers on the case side. The three sub-dials measure elapsed seconds, minutes, and hours, making it ideal for timing events, sports activities, or simply adding functional complexity to your daily wear.
Q: Can I swim or shower with this watch?
A: With 50 metres (5 ATM) water resistance, the Norwood is suitable for everyday water exposure such as handwashing and light rain. While it can withstand brief immersion, it is not recommended for swimming, showering, or any water sports, as hot water and soaps can compromise the seals.
Q: What does the skeleton dial reveal?
A: The skeleton dial on the Norwood features cut-outs and transparency that reveal portions of the movement architecture beneath, creating visual depth and mechanical intrigue. While not a fully open-worked mechanical movement, this design offers aesthetic complexity and showcases Police's contemporary design language.
Q: Is the blue leather strap replaceable?
A: Yes, the leather strap can be replaced if it shows wear over time. We stock a selection of compatible straps at our Mall of the South boutique, and our team can fit replacement straps professionally. The standard lug width for this case design accommodates most 22mm or 24mm straps, depending on the exact lug configuration.
Q: Does this watch come with an international warranty?
A: Yes, when purchased from Cassims & Co. as an authorised Police retailer, this watch includes a 2-year international manufacturer's warranty covering manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship. The warranty card will be stamped and dated at the time of purchase.
Q: How large is 45mm on the wrist?
A: At 45mm case diameter, the Norwood is considered a large contemporary watch that will have a substantial wrist presence. The tonneau (barrel) case shape and corner guards extend the visual size further. We recommend trying it on at our boutique to ensure the proportions suit your wrist size and personal style preferences.

Care Guide
- Avoid exposure to extreme temperatures, magnetic fields, and direct impacts that could affect the quartz movement accuracy or damage the case.
- Keep the watch away from chemicals, solvents, perfumes, and cosmetics that may degrade the leather strap or corrode case seals.
- Wipe the case and crystal with a soft, lint-free cloth regularly to remove fingerprints, dust, and moisture.
- Store the watch in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use to preserve the leather strap condition.
- Have the battery replaced by a professional watchmaker when the watch stops or shows irregular timekeeping—our Cassims & Co. service team can assist.
- If the watch is exposed to water, dry it immediately with a soft cloth, paying attention to the area around the pushers and crown.
- Service the watch every 3-5 years to have seals inspected and replaced, ensuring continued water resistance and longevity.
- Avoid operating the chronograph pushers while the watch is wet or underwater, as this can compromise water resistance.
- Condition the leather strap periodically with a quality leather conditioner to prevent cracking and maintain suppleness.
