FAQ
Q: Is the Police Creed suitable for swimming?
A: Yes, with 5 ATM water resistance, the Creed is suitable for showering, swimming, and water sports. However, it should not be used for diving or high-pressure water activities, and the crown should always be fully secured before water exposure.
Q: What type of movement powers this watch?
A: The Police Creed features a reliable quartz multifunction movement that provides accurate timekeeping along with day-date complications and a 24-hour indicator. Quartz movements require minimal maintenance and offer excellent precision.
Q: What is the case size and will it fit my wrist?
A: The tonneau-shaped case measures 42mm in width and 51.5mm from lug to lug, creating a substantial presence suitable for wrist sizes from approximately 16cm to 21cm. We recommend visiting our Mall of the South boutique to try it on for the perfect fit assessment.
Q: Is the dial truly skeletonised or is it a printed design?
A: The Creed features an architectural skeleton dial design that reveals intricate mechanical-inspired detailing beneath the dial surface, creating depth and visual interest. The multiple sub-dials and exposed elements showcase Police's contemporary design language.
Q: What do the sub-dials display?
A: The watch features three sub-dials: a day-of-the-week display at 12 o'clock, a 24-hour indicator, and additional timekeeping functions. The multifunction layout provides practical complications for daily wear.
Q: How durable is the black coating on the case?
A: The black finish is achieved through ion plating (IP), a physical vapour deposition process that creates a durable bond between the coating and stainless steel substrate. While more resistant than standard plating, we recommend avoiding impacts against hard surfaces to maintain the finish over time.
Q: Can the silicone strap be replaced?
A: Yes, the silicone strap can be replaced if desired. Our team at Cassims & Co. can assist with strap changes and recommendations for compatible options that suit the Creed's distinctive tonneau case shape.

Care Guide
- Wipe the case and silicone strap regularly with a soft, lint-free cloth to remove perspiration, dust, and oils.
- The silicone strap can be cleaned with mild soap and water, then dried thoroughly before wearing.
- Ensure the crown is pushed fully in or screwed down (if applicable) before any water exposure to maintain the 5 ATM water resistance rating.
- Avoid operating the crown or any pushers while the watch is wet or submerged.
