The Police Spirit Automatic PEWGR0097804 is a statement piece that commands attention with its fully skeletonised dial, revealing the intricate mechanical ballet of its automatic movement. Encased in a robust 45mm black PVD-coated stainless steel case, this timepiece showcases Police's commitment to bold, contemporary design fused with traditional watchmaking artistry. The exposed movement features Geneva stripes, blued screws, and jewelled pivots — a technical showcase that transforms timekeeping into visual theatre.
The watch is secured by a vibrant blue rubber strap with textured detailing, providing both comfort and a striking colour contrast against the anthracite case. The bezel features blue and orange accent markers at cardinal points, echoing the sporty aesthetic that defines the Spirit collection. With a mineral crystal protecting the dial and water resistance to 50 metres, this automatic watch balances mechanical sophistication with everyday practicality. At Cassim & Co., we are proud to be an authorised retailer for POLICE watches, ensuring every timepiece comes with full manufacturer support and authenticity guarantees.
The 05-JX-2806 automatic movement visible through the skeletonised dial beats at the heart of this watch, requiring no battery and drawing its power from the natural motion of your wrist. This self-winding mechanism is a celebration of horological tradition, with visible gears, bridges, and the oscillating balance wheel creating a mesmerising display of mechanical precision. The transparent dial construction allows you to witness every component working in harmony — from the mainspring barrel to the escapement wheel.
This Police Spirit Automatic is ideal for the wearer who appreciates the intersection of engineering and aesthetics, someone who values the romance of mechanical watchmaking without sacrificing modern style. Visit us at our Mall of the South boutique to experience this remarkable timepiece in person, and should you ever require maintenance, our watch servicing and repairs team is always on hand to ensure your automatic watch continues to perform flawlessly for years to come.

FAQ
Q: What does "skeletonised" mean on this Police watch?
A: Skeletonised refers to the dial construction where material has been removed to reveal the inner workings of the automatic movement beneath. This Police Spirit Automatic features a fully transparent dial that showcases the mechanical components — gears, bridges, jewels, and the oscillating balance wheel — creating a visually striking display of horological craftsmanship.
Q: How does an automatic movement work?
A: An automatic movement is self-winding and requires no battery. It uses a weighted rotor that spins with the natural motion of your wrist, winding the mainspring that powers the watch. The Police Spirit Automatic houses the 05-JX-2806 calibre, which will maintain power reserve through regular daily wear. If unworn for extended periods, simply wear the watch or gently rotate the crown to restart the movement.
Q: Is the 45mm case size suitable for smaller wrists?
A: The 45mm case diameter is designed for a bold, contemporary presence on the wrist. While it suits medium to larger wrists particularly well, we recommend visiting our Mall of the South boutique to try the watch in person. The rubber strap can be sized to fit comfortably, and our team can advise on proportions for your specific wrist size.
Q: Can I wear this watch while swimming?
A: With 50 metres (5 ATM) water resistance, the Police Spirit Automatic is suitable for splashes, rain, and brief immersion in water, but it is not designed for swimming or diving. We recommend avoiding prolonged water exposure and ensuring the crown is fully pushed in before any water contact. For optimal longevity, have the water resistance checked annually at our service centre.
Q: What is PVD coating on the case?
A: PVD (Physical Vapour Deposition) is an advanced coating process that bonds a black finish to the stainless steel case at a molecular level. This creates a durable, scratch-resistant surface that maintains its appearance far better than traditional plating. The black PVD on this Police watch provides a modern aesthetic whilst protecting the underlying steel from wear.
Q: How often does an automatic watch need servicing?
A: We recommend servicing automatic watches every 3-5 years to maintain optimal performance. This involves cleaning, lubricating, and regulating the movement to ensure accuracy. Our watch servicing team at Cassim & Co. can handle routine maintenance for your Police Spirit Automatic, helping to preserve its mechanical integrity for decades.
Q: Does this watch come with the official Police warranty?
A: Yes, when purchased from Cassim & Co. as an authorised Police retailer, this watch includes a 2-year international manufacturer warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship. The warranty is valid from your purchase date and is honoured at authorised Police service centres worldwide.

Care Guide
- Wind the watch regularly if not worn daily — automatic movements require motion to maintain power reserve and optimal performance
- Avoid magnetic fields from speakers, mobile phones, and electronic devices, which can affect movement accuracy
- Never adjust the date or time between 9pm and 3am when the date mechanism is engaged, as this can damage the movement
- Clean the rubber strap regularly with mild soap and water to remove oils and debris, then dry thoroughly
- Avoid exposure to chemicals, solvents, perfumes, and cleaning products which can damage the PVD coating and rubber strap
- Have the water resistance tested annually, especially before any water exposure, as seals degrade over time
- Store the watch in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use
- Service the automatic movement every 3-5 years to ensure proper lubrication and accuracy
- If the watch stops running, gently rotate the crown clockwise 20-30 times or wear it to restart the automatic winding mechanism
- Avoid impacts and shocks to the watch, as mechanical movements contain delicate components susceptible to damage
