The Police Vigor chronograph commands attention with its all-black aesthetic and bold technical presence. Housed in a 48mm round case crafted from black ion-plated stainless steel, this quartz-powered timepiece delivers precision timing wrapped in unapologetic attitude. The multi-layered black dial features a striking honeycomb textured centre beneath the POLICE branding at twelve o'clock, creating visual depth that draws the eye inward before radiating outward to the three chronograph sub-dials tracking elapsed minutes, continuous seconds, and twenty-four-hour time.
Luminous baton hands and bold Arabic numerals at twelve o'clock ensure legibility against the dark canvas, while applied hour indices with minute track detailing reinforce the watch's technical pedigree. The unidirectional rotating bezel marked with minute indices adds functional versatility for timing intervals. Twin pushers flank the screw-down crown on the right case side, their tactile feedback operating the chronograph mechanism with satisfying mechanical precision. Water resistance to 100 metres makes this a capable companion whether you're navigating urban environments or weekend adventures.
The integrated black ion-plated stainless steel bracelet matches the case finish seamlessly, secured with a deployment clasp that balances comfort and security on the wrist. This is a watch that refuses to whisper when it can shout — designed for those who view timekeeping as performance art rather than passive observation. At Cassims & Co., we stock the full range of POLICE watches as authorised retailers, ensuring every timepiece comes with full manufacturer backing and our commitment to long-term customer care.

FAQ
Q: What powers the Police Vigor chronograph?
A: This watch is powered by a reliable quartz movement, offering precision timekeeping with minimal maintenance. Battery replacement is recommended every 2-3 years depending on chronograph usage.
Q: How do I operate the chronograph function?
A: The top pusher starts and stops the chronograph, while the bottom pusher resets the hands to zero. The sub-dials track elapsed minutes, continuous running seconds, and 24-hour time independently of the chronograph activation.
Q: Can I swim or shower with this watch?
A: With 100-metre water resistance, the Vigor is suitable for swimming and snorkelling. However, we recommend avoiding hot showers, saunas, or operating the chronograph pushers underwater, as temperature changes and water pressure can compromise the seals.
Q: Will the black finish wear off over time?
A: The black ion plating is durable and designed for daily wear, but like any coating it can show signs of wear with heavy impact or abrasion over years of use. Avoid knocking the watch against hard surfaces and remove it during activities involving tools or machinery to preserve the finish.
Q: How should I clean the black stainless steel bracelet?
A: Wipe the bracelet with a soft, slightly damp cloth to remove oils and dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a soft-bristled brush with mild soap and water, ensuring you dry the watch thoroughly afterward. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
Q: Can the bracelet be adjusted to fit my wrist?
A: Yes, the stainless steel bracelet features removable links for sizing adjustments. Our team at Cassims & Co. can resize the bracelet for you at the time of purchase or during any subsequent visit to our store.
Q: Is this watch suitable as a gift?
A: Absolutely. The Police Vigor's bold design and technical features make it an excellent gift for anyone who appreciates statement watches with sporty functionality. We offer complimentary gift packaging for all purchases.

Care Guide
- Wipe the case and bracelet regularly with a soft, lint-free cloth to remove fingerprints, oils, and everyday grime that can dull the black finish
- Avoid exposing the watch to extreme temperatures, magnetic fields, or harsh chemicals including perfumes, solvents, and cleaning agents
- Rinse with fresh water after exposure to saltwater or chlorinated pool water, then dry thoroughly with a soft cloth
- Do not operate the chronograph pushers or crown when the watch is wet or submerged, as this can allow water ingress
- Have the battery replaced by a qualified watchmaker when the hands begin to jump or the chronograph function becomes sluggish — using the watch with a depleted battery can damage the movement
- Store the watch in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not wearing it for extended periods
- Avoid impact against hard surfaces to preserve the integrity of the black ion plating and the mineral crystal
- We recommend a professional service every 3-5 years to check seals, lubricate the movement, and ensure water resistance remains intact
