The Police PEWJK0021806 is a commanding statement in contemporary horology, engineered for those who demand both performance and presence. This quartz chronograph delivers precision timekeeping within a bold 42.5mm black ion-plated stainless steel case, presenting a distinctive semi-skeletonised dial architecture that reveals the mechanical workings beneath. The dial features a multi-layered construction with three chronograph subdials — day/date at 12 o'clock, running seconds at 6 o'clock, and a 24-hour indicator at 9 o'clock — accented by contrasting white rectangular hour markers and red detailing for exceptional legibility against the black backdrop.
Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, this Police timepiece combines functional chronograph capability with striking visual depth. The black ion-plated stainless steel bracelet mirrors the case finish, creating a seamless monochromatic aesthetic that speaks to modern urban sensibilities. The gear-train cutouts visible through the dial face offer a glimpse into the watch's mechanical complexity, whilst the chronograph pushers provide intuitive access to the timing functions. Water-resistant to 3 ATM (30 metres), this watch handles daily splashes and brief immersion with confidence, though it is not suitable for swimming or diving activities.

The PEWJK0021806 represents Police's commitment to accessible luxury — a watch that delivers genuine horological functionality without compromise.

FAQ
Q: What functions does the chronograph provide on this Police watch?
A: The PEWJK0021806 features a multi-function chronograph with three subdials: a day and date display at 12 o'clock, a running seconds counter at 6 o'clock, and a 24-hour indicator at 9 o'clock. The chronograph is operated via two pushers flanking the crown, allowing you to start, stop, and reset timing functions independently.
Q: Can I wear this watch whilst swimming or showering?
A: With a water resistance rating of 3 ATM (30 metres), this watch is splash-resistant and suitable for daily wear including handwashing and light rain exposure. However, it is not designed for swimming, showering, or submersion. We recommend removing the watch before any water-based activities to preserve its longevity.
Q: What is black ion plating and how durable is it?
A: Black ion plating (IP) is a physical vapour deposition process that bonds a hard, scratch-resistant black coating to the stainless steel case and bracelet. This finish is significantly more durable than traditional black paint or coating, offering excellent resistance to daily wear. However, extreme abrasion or impact may still cause marks over time with regular use.
Q: How often does the quartz battery need replacing?
A: Quartz movements typically require battery replacement every 2-3 years, depending on usage and the specific functions activated. When your watch stops or the second hand begins to jump in intervals, it indicates the battery needs replacement. Our servicing team at Cassims & Co. can replace your battery using genuine components whilst testing the watch's water resistance seals.
Q: Is the bracelet adjustable and can links be removed?
A: Yes, the black ion-plated stainless steel bracelet is fully adjustable. Our specialists at our Mall of the South boutique can professionally size the bracelet to your wrist by removing or adding links at no charge with your purchase. We retain any removed links for you should you require future adjustments.
Q: What does the semi-skeletonised dial reveal?
A: The semi-skeletonised dial design features strategically placed cutouts that reveal decorative gear-train elements beneath the dial surface. Whilst these are primarily aesthetic features designed to add visual depth and mechanical character, they showcase Police's attention to contemporary design language and create the watch's distinctive industrial aesthetic.
Q: Does this watch come with the official Police warranty?
A: Yes, as an authorised Police retailer, Cassims & Co. provides the full 2-year international POLICE warranty with this timepiece. The warranty covers manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship and is valid from your date of purchase. We handle all warranty claims directly, ensuring seamless after-sales support throughout your ownership experience.
