The Police Chester Quartz Chronograph is a statement of modern masculinity, combining bold visual presence with functional complexity. This striking timepiece features a rich blue textured dial with horizontal guilloché detailing, complemented by a two-tone case construction that pairs brushed stainless steel with a gold-tone tachymeter bezel. Three sub-dials deliver genuine chronograph functionality alongside a dual-time complication, making this watch equally at home tracking elapsed seconds or monitoring a second time zone during international travel.
The dial architecture is commanding yet legible: oversized Arabic numerals at 12 o'clock anchor the composition, while gold-tone applied indices and hands ensure visibility in varied lighting conditions. The tachymeter-engraved outer bezel provides a sporty, technical aesthetic that speaks to the watch's performance-oriented design language. Two polished chronograph pushers flank the signed crown, offering intuitive control over the timing functions without compromising the case's clean profile.
Securing the 44mm case to the wrist is a textured blue leather strap with contrast stitching that echoes the dial's sophisticated colour palette. The leather presents a tactile, grained finish that develops character with wear, while the stainless steel tang buckle ensures reliable fastening. At Cassims & Co., we are proud to present the full range of POLICE watches, each exemplifying the brand's commitment to accessible luxury and contemporary design codes.
This watch is powered by a precise Japanese quartz chronograph movement, delivering reliable timekeeping without the maintenance requirements of automatic calibres. The dual-time sub-dial at 9 o'clock allows simultaneous tracking of a second time zone—ideal for frequent travellers or those coordinating across continents. Whether you're timing a presentation, tracking a meeting, or simply appreciating the technical elegance of a well-executed multi-function dial, the Chester delivers versatility in a boldly styled package.

FAQ
Q: What is the dual-time complication on this Police Chester watch?
A: The dual-time sub-dial at 9 o'clock allows you to track a second time zone simultaneously with your local time. This is particularly useful for frequent travellers, international business communication, or anyone who needs to coordinate across different time zones without constantly calculating the time difference.
Q: How do I operate the chronograph functions on this watch?
A: The chronograph is controlled via the two pushers flanking the crown. The top pusher starts and stops the chronograph timing, while the bottom pusher resets the chronograph hands to zero. The central chronograph seconds hand sweeps around the main dial, while the sub-dials track elapsed minutes and hours.
Q: What is the tachymeter bezel used for?
A: The tachymeter scale on the gold-tone bezel is a traditional chronograph complication that allows you to measure speed over a known distance. For example, if you start the chronograph when a vehicle passes a marker and stop it at the one-kilometre mark, the chronograph seconds hand will point to the average speed in kilometres per hour on the tachymeter scale.
Q: Is the leather strap suitable for everyday wear?
A: Yes, the textured blue leather strap is designed for regular wear and develops a unique patina over time. However, leather is sensitive to moisture and should be kept dry when possible. We recommend avoiding prolonged exposure to water, perspiration, or humid conditions to maximise the strap's lifespan. Alternative straps can be fitted by our team at Mall of the South.
Q: How often does the quartz movement require a battery replacement?
A: Quartz chronograph movements typically require battery replacement every 2-3 years, depending on usage patterns. Frequent use of the chronograph function will drain the battery more quickly than time-only operation. Our watch servicing team at Cassims & Co. can replace the battery and pressure-test the case to maintain its integrity.
Q: Can I wear this Police Chester watch while swimming or showering?
A: We cannot confirm the specific water resistance rating from the available information. As a general precaution with leather-strapped watches, we recommend avoiding water exposure to protect both the strap and the case integrity. Please consult with our team for specific water resistance details before exposing the watch to moisture.
Q: Is this watch suitable for formal occasions?
A: While the Police Chester is primarily a sporty chronograph with bold styling, the two-tone case and blue dial lend it enough versatility to pair with smart-casual attire. The 44mm case size and prominent dial design make it better suited to contemporary, confident styling rather than traditional formal wear.

Warranty
- Warranty Period: This Police Chester watch is covered by a 2-year international manufacturer's warranty from the date of purchase.
- Authorised Retailer Requirement: The warranty is valid only when the watch is purchased from an authorised Police retailer such as Cassims & Co. Watches purchased from unauthorised dealers or third-party sellers are not covered.
- What Is Covered: The warranty covers manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship, including movement malfunctions, case defects, and crystal flaws that arise under normal use conditions.
- What Is Not Covered: The warranty does not cover normal wear and tear, battery depletion or replacement, leather strap deterioration, scratches or cosmetic damage to the case or crystal, accidental damage, water damage resulting from improper use or failure to observe water resistance limitations, damage from unauthorised repairs or modifications, or damage from misuse or negligence.
- Warranty Claims: To make a warranty claim, present your original proof of purchase and the watch to Cassims & Co. or an authorised Police service centre. The manufacturer reserves the right to repair or replace defective components at their discretion.
- After-Warranty Support: Even after the warranty period expires, Cassims & Co. provides comprehensive after-sales support including battery replacements, strap changes, sizing adjustments, and servicing at competitive rates.
- Exclusions: The warranty does not extend to consequential damages or losses. Water resistance, where applicable, is not a permanent condition and may diminish over time due to aging of seals and gaskets.
Care Guide
- Daily Care: Wipe the case and crystal with a soft, lint-free cloth after wearing to remove fingerprints, perspiration, and dust accumulation.
- Leather Strap Maintenance: Keep the leather strap dry and away from water, perfumes, cosmetics, and direct sunlight. If the strap becomes wet, allow it to air-dry naturally away from heat sources. Rotate with alternative straps if you wear the watch daily to extend leather lifespan.
- Water Exposure: Until water resistance is confirmed, avoid exposing the watch to moisture. Never operate the crown or chronograph pushers while the watch is wet or submerged, as this compromises water resistance seals.
- Storage: When not wearing the watch, store it in a cool, dry place away from magnetic fields, extreme temperatures, and direct sunlight. A watch box or pouch is ideal for protecting the crystal and case finish.
- Battery Replacement: Have the battery replaced by a qualified watchmaker to ensure proper handling and resealing of the case back. Our Cassims & Co. service team uses genuine components and pressure-tests the case after battery changes.
- Two-Tone Finish: The gold-tone bezel may be plated; avoid abrasive cleaners or polishing compounds that could remove the finish. Clean only with a soft, damp cloth and dry immediately.
- Chronograph Use: Avoid leaving the chronograph running continuously for extended periods, as this increases battery drain and mechanical wear on the movement components.
- Professional Servicing: We recommend having the watch inspected every 2-3 years during battery replacement to check seals, test water resistance (if applicable), and ensure all functions operate correctly.
