The Police Daintree PEWGQ2203607 redefines masculine horology with an architectural boldness that commands immediate attention. This 48mm rose gold PVD-coated stainless steel chronograph showcases Police's signature urban-industrial aesthetic, marrying technical functionality with statement-making design. The sculptural case features a distinctive tonneau-inspired form with aggressive angular detailing, brushed rose gold surfaces contrasting against black PVD accents on the left-hand case guard and integrated crown protectors. The black dial reveals a multi-layered construction: guilloche engine-turned sub-dials at 3 and 9 o'clock, a dual-time indication sub-dial at 6 o'clock, and applied rose gold-toned indices with luminous inserts. Horizontal grooved detailing across the dial surface creates industrial texture, while the raised rose gold chapter ring frames the chronograph layout. This is a watch engineered for the wearer who refuses to blend in.
At Cassims & Co., we recognise the Police brand as a leader in contemporary watch design that merges street-inspired aesthetics with reliable Swiss-grade quartz technology. The Daintree houses a precision Seiko quartz movement calibrated for dual-time functionality—ideal for the modern traveller navigating multiple time zones. The chronograph complication offers stopwatch timing functionality, while the 24-hour indicator ensures AM/PM clarity at a glance. Rose gold-toned cathedral hands sweep across the dial with legible contrast, and the signed crown at 3 o'clock operates with robust mechanical feedback characteristic of quality case construction.
Engineered for everyday durability, the Daintree pairs its substantial 48mm case with a supple black rubber strap featuring integrated grooves that echo the dial's linear motif. The strap's folding clasp ensures secure wrist retention while maintaining a streamlined profile. With water resistance suitable for daily wear, this timepiece transitions effortlessly from boardroom to evening wear, its bold proportions balanced by refined finishing and intelligent dial architecture. The tonneau-shaped case creates a contemporary silhouette that sits comfortably despite its generous diameter, distributing weight evenly across the wrist.

FAQ
Q: What is the dual-time function on this Police Daintree watch?
A: The Daintree features a dedicated dual-time sub-dial that allows you to track a second time zone simultaneously. This complication is particularly useful for frequent travellers or professionals coordinating across international time zones, displaying both home and destination times at a glance.
Q: How does the chronograph function operate?
A: The chronograph is a stopwatch complication controlled by the pushers on the right side of the case. The upper pusher starts and stops the chronograph, while the lower pusher resets the chronograph hands to zero. The sub-dials at 3 and 9 o'clock display elapsed minutes and running seconds respectively.
Q: Is the 48mm case size suitable for smaller wrists?
A: The 48mm diameter makes this a substantial timepiece designed for confident wrist presence. While ideal for medium to larger wrists (approximately 17cm circumference and above), the tonneau case shape and curved case back help distribute the visual weight. We recommend trying the watch in person at our boutique to assess comfort and proportions for your wrist size.
Q: What is PVD coating and how durable is it?
A: PVD (Physical Vapour Deposition) is an advanced coating process that bonds rose gold-toned material to the stainless steel case at a molecular level. This creates exceptional durability and scratch resistance compared to traditional plating. With proper care, PVD coating maintains its lustrous finish for many years of daily wear.
Q: Can I swim or shower while wearing this watch?
A: While the Daintree has water resistance suitable for daily wear including hand washing and light rain exposure, we do not recommend swimming, showering, or water sports with this timepiece. Water resistance specifications are not provided for submersion activities. For optimal longevity, remove the watch before contact with water.
Q: How often does the quartz battery need replacement?
A: Seiko quartz movements typically provide 2-3 years of battery life depending on usage, particularly chronograph activation frequency. When battery replacement is needed, our watchmakers can service your Police watch with a genuine replacement cell and perform a water resistance check to maintain optimal performance.
Q: Can the rubber strap be replaced or is it integrated?
A: The rubber strap uses a standard lug attachment that allows for replacement or customisation. Should you wish to explore alternative strap options or require a replacement due to wear, our team can source compatible straps and perform the fitting to ensure secure attachment and proper sizing.
Warranty
- This Police Daintree watch is covered by a 2-year international Police warranty from the date of purchase.
- The warranty is valid only when the watch is purchased from an authorised retailer such as Cassims & Co.
- The warranty covers manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship under normal use conditions.
- The warranty does not cover normal wear and tear including scratches, strap wear, or crystal scuffs resulting from daily use.
- Battery replacement is not covered under warranty, as batteries are consumable components with a finite lifespan.
- Water damage resulting from misuse, submersion beyond stated water resistance specifications, or operation of pushers/crown while wet is excluded from warranty coverage.
- Damage resulting from accidents, impacts, unauthorised repairs, or servicing by non-authorised technicians voids the warranty.
- To claim warranty service, retain your original purchase receipt and contact Cassims & Co. for assessment and authorisation before sending the watch for repair.
- Warranty repairs will be conducted by authorised Police service centres using genuine components to maintain the integrity and performance of your timepiece.
Care Guide
- Wipe the case and rubber strap regularly with a soft, lint-free cloth to remove perspiration, oils, and environmental residue that can degrade the strap material over time.
- Avoid exposing the watch to extreme temperatures, direct sunlight for extended periods, or chemical substances including solvents, perfumes, and cleaning products which may damage the PVD coating and rubber strap.
- Do not operate the chronograph pushers or crown while the watch is wet or submerged, as moisture ingress can damage the quartz movement.
- Remove the watch before activities involving strong magnetic fields, as magnetism can affect quartz movement accuracy.
- Store the watch in a cool, dry environment when not in use, ideally in its original box or a dedicated watch case to prevent scratches and dust accumulation.
- Have the water resistance seals inspected during battery replacement to maintain protective integrity.
- If the watch will not be worn for an extended period, activate the chronograph briefly every few months to keep the mechanical components lubricated and functioning smoothly.
- Avoid impact or dropping the watch, as shock can damage the quartz movement or crack the mineral crystal.
- Clean the rubber strap periodically with mild soap and water, drying thoroughly before wearing to prevent odour and material degradation.
