FAQ
Q: Is the POLICE Protector PEWGA0049103 suitable for swimming?
A: With a water resistance rating of 5 ATM (50 metres), this watch can withstand splashes, rain, and brief immersion in water. It is suitable for shallow swimming but should not be used for diving, snorkelling, or water sports. We recommend avoiding operating the crown whilst the watch is wet, and never wearing it in the shower or sauna, as hot water and steam can compromise the seals.
Q: What type of battery does this watch use and how long will it last?
A: The POLICE Protector is powered by a standard quartz battery, which typically provides 2-3 years of reliable operation depending on usage patterns. When replacement is required, visit us at our Mall of the South boutique where our technicians can replace the battery whilst maintaining the watch's water resistance integrity. We recommend professional battery replacement rather than attempting it yourself to preserve the warranty.
Q: Can the leather strap be replaced or adjusted?
A: Yes, the leather strap can be sized to fit your wrist perfectly using the tang buckle adjustment. If you require a different hole position or strap replacement in the future, our team can assist with professional sizing or sourcing genuine POLICE replacement straps. The standard lug width allows for aftermarket strap compatibility should you wish to personalise your timepiece.
Q: What makes the dial texture special on this model?
A: The Protector features a distinctive three-dimensional honeycomb pattern on the dial surface, creating visual depth and texture that changes appearance depending on lighting conditions. This industrial-inspired design element is a signature of the POLICE Protector collection, offering a contemporary alternative to traditional flat dial finishes whilst maintaining excellent legibility through the raised Arabic numerals.
Q: Is this watch covered by an international warranty?
A: Yes, when purchased from Cassims & Co. as an authorised POLICE retailer, this watch includes a full 2-year international warranty from the date of purchase. This covers manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship. Your warranty card and proof of purchase should be retained for any warranty claims. The warranty is honoured at authorised POLICE service centres worldwide.
Q: What is the case diameter and will it suit smaller wrists?
A: The Protector has a 44mm case diameter, which is considered a large contemporary size offering substantial wrist presence. This dimension works best for wrist circumferences of 16cm and above. If you're uncertain about sizing, we encourage you to visit our Mall of the South boutique to try the watch in person and receive expert fitting advice from our team.
Q: Does Cassims & Co. offer delivery across South Africa?
A: Yes, we provide secure nationwide delivery to all regions of South Africa. Your POLICE watch will be shipped in its original presentation box with full warranty documentation, tracking details, and insurance coverage. Alternatively, you're welcome to collect your timepiece in person from our boutique at Mall of the South in Johannesburg, where our team can perform the initial sizing and provide a personal handover experience.
Warranty

- Coverage: The warranty covers manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship, including faults in the movement, case, crystal, and original strap/bracelet that arise under normal wearing conditions.
- Exclusions: The warranty does not cover normal wear and tear, scratches or aesthetic deterioration to the case, crystal, or strap; battery replacement; damage caused by accidents, misuse, or unauthorised repairs; water damage resulting from improper use or failure to maintain water resistance seals; or damage from exposure to chemicals, extreme temperatures, or magnetic fields.

Care Guide
- Daily Wear: Avoid exposing your POLICE watch to extreme temperatures, strong magnetic fields, and harsh chemicals including perfumes, solvents, and cleaning agents, which can damage the case finish and seals.
- Water Resistance: Although rated to 5 ATM, water resistance can degrade over time. Have the seals tested annually if you frequently expose the watch to water. Never operate the crown whilst the watch is wet or submerged.
- Leather Strap Care: Leather straps are sensitive to moisture, perspiration, and prolonged sun exposure. Allow the strap to dry naturally if it becomes wet, and avoid wearing the watch too tightly to prevent premature wear. Clean gently with a slightly damp cloth and allow to air dry away from direct heat.
- Crystal Cleaning: Clean the mineral crystal with a soft, lint-free microfibre cloth. For stubborn marks, use a small amount of water or specialist watch cleaning solution. Avoid abrasive materials that may scratch the crystal surface.
- Case Maintenance: Wipe the blue ion-plated stainless steel case regularly with a soft cloth to remove fingerprints, dust, and skin oils. The ion-plating finish is durable but can be scratched by hard impacts, so avoid contact with abrasive surfaces.
- Storage: When not wearing your watch, store it in its original presentation box or a dedicated watch case away from direct sunlight and humidity. This protects the leather strap and maintains the dial finish.
- Battery Replacement: When the watch stops or the seconds hand begins jumping in multi-second intervals, the battery requires replacement. Visit our boutique for professional battery service to maintain water resistance and prevent potential leakage damage.
- Professional Servicing: We recommend a complete service inspection every 3-4 years, including seal replacement, battery change, and water resistance testing. This ensures your POLICE Protector continues to perform reliably throughout its lifetime.
