The Police Vigor PL15381JSTR03 is a bold statement in contemporary horology, engineered for the man who demands presence and functionality in equal measure. This commanding timepiece features a substantial 51x58mm bi-colour case construction, pairing polished stainless steel with warm rose gold-tone accents that frame a deeply textured blue dial. The distinctive honeycomb pattern across the dial surface creates a three-dimensional canvas for the watch's impressive array of complications, including dual time zone displays, day and date apertures, and 24-hour format indication. Rose gold-tone applied indices and hands ensure legibility against the intricate backdrop, while the signature Police branding affirms its designer pedigree.
Beneath its striking exterior lies a precision Swiss-made quartz multifunction movement, delivering reliable timekeeping across two independent time zones—an essential feature for the globally connected individual. The movement powers three sub-dials that display weekday, 24-hour time, and secondary time zone information, all easily adjustable via the dual crown system. The robust case architecture incorporates four prominent screw-down bolts at the cardinal points, reinforcing the watch's industrial-inspired aesthetic while ensuring structural integrity. Water resistance protects the movement from the rigours of daily wear, making this a timepiece built for real-world use.
At Cassim & Co., we are proud to be an authorised retailer for POLICE watches, ensuring every timepiece comes with full manufacturer warranty and complete authenticity. The Vigor arrives on a supple black leather strap with tonal stitching and a secure tang buckle, offering comfortable all-day wearability despite the watch's substantial dimensions. The juxtaposition of refined materials and muscular proportions makes this an ideal choice for occasions demanding both sophistication and impact—from boardroom presentations to evening engagements.

FAQ
Q: What is the dual time zone function on the Police Vigor?
A: The Police Vigor features two independent time zone displays, allowing you to track time in two different locations simultaneously. The main time is displayed via the central hour and minute hands, while a secondary time zone is shown through one of the sub-dials. This is particularly useful for frequent travellers or those who regularly communicate with contacts in different time zones. The dual crown system allows independent adjustment of each time zone without affecting the other.
Q: How do I read the multiple sub-dials on this watch?
A: The Police Vigor's dial features three sub-dials displaying different functions. One sub-dial shows the day of the week, another displays 24-hour time format, and the third indicates your secondary time zone. Each sub-dial is clearly labelled and uses dedicated hands for easy reading. The instruction manual included with your watch provides detailed guidance on interpreting each complication.
Q: Is the Police Vigor suitable for swimming or water sports?
A: The Police Vigor has water resistance suitable for everyday splashes and rain, but it is not designed for swimming, showering, or water sports. The 30-metre water resistance rating means the watch can withstand incidental water contact such as hand washing or light rain. We recommend removing the watch before any water-based activities to preserve the movement and case seals.
Q: How often will the quartz movement require battery replacement?
A: Quartz movements typically require battery replacement every 2-3 years, depending on usage and the specific functions activated. The multifunction nature of the Police Vigor, with its multiple sub-dials and complications, may result in slightly shorter battery life. When the battery needs replacement, visit Cassim & Co. where our technicians can perform the service using genuine components while checking the watch's water resistance seals.
Q: Can the leather strap be replaced if it wears out?
A: Yes, the leather strap can be replaced. Due to the watch's substantial case dimensions, we recommend having any strap replacement performed at Cassim & Co. to ensure proper fitment and compatibility. Our team can source genuine Police replacement straps or suggest suitable aftermarket alternatives that complement the watch's bold aesthetic.
Q: What is the significance of the rose gold and steel combination?
A: The bi-colour case construction combines the durability and contemporary appeal of stainless steel with the warmth and luxury of rose gold-tone finishing. This combination creates visual contrast and elevates the watch's design beyond standard single-material cases. The rose gold accents on the bezel, crown, and dial elements coordinate with the case's two-tone architecture, creating a cohesive and sophisticated appearance.
Q: Is this watch suitable for formal occasions given its bold design?
A: The Police Vigor's substantial dimensions and industrial-inspired design make it a statement piece best suited to smart-casual and contemporary formal settings rather than traditional black-tie events. Its bold aesthetic pairs excellently with modern tailoring, business casual attire, and evening wear where a distinctive accessory is appropriate. The blue dial and rose gold accents add refinement that elevates the watch beyond purely sporty designs.
Warranty
- Warranty Period: This Police watch is covered by a 2-year international Police manufacturer's warranty from the date of purchase.
- Warranty Validity: The warranty is valid only when the watch is purchased from an authorised Police retailer such as Cassim & Co. Proof of purchase is required for all warranty claims.
- Coverage: The warranty covers manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship under normal use conditions. This includes defects in the case, movement, dial, hands, and original strap or bracelet.
- Exclusions: The warranty does not cover normal wear and tear, scratches, dents, or cosmetic damage to the case, crystal, or strap. Battery replacement, routine maintenance, and servicing costs are not covered. Damage resulting from accidents, misuse, water ingress due to improper use, unauthorised modifications, or repairs performed by non-authorised service centres will void the warranty.
- Water Resistance: The warranty does not cover water damage if the watch has been used beyond its stated water resistance rating, or if the crown was not properly secured before water exposure.
- Warranty Claims: Should you experience any issues covered under warranty, return the watch to Cassim & Co. with your original proof of purchase. We will assess the watch and liaise directly with Police to facilitate repair or replacement as per warranty terms.
- After-Warranty Support: After the manufacturer's warranty expires, Cassim & Co. continues to provide full after-sales support including battery replacement, strap adjustments, and servicing at competitive rates.

Care Guide
- Daily Wear: Avoid exposing the watch to extreme temperatures, strong magnetic fields, and harsh chemicals including perfumes, solvents, and cleaning products which may damage the case finish or leather strap.
- Water Exposure: While splash resistant, remove the watch before swimming, showering, or any water-based activities. After accidental water contact, dry the watch immediately with a soft cloth.
- Leather Strap Care: Keep the leather strap dry and avoid prolonged exposure to moisture, direct sunlight, and oils. Rotate with other watches to allow the strap to air out between wears. Clean periodically with a slightly damp cloth and allow to dry naturally.
- Case Cleaning: Wipe the stainless steel and rose gold-tone case with a soft, lint-free cloth to remove fingerprints and daily residue. For deeper cleaning, use a slightly damp cloth followed by immediate drying. Avoid abrasive materials that may scratch the polished surfaces.
- Crystal Care: Clean the mineral crystal with a microfibre cloth to maintain clarity. Avoid contact with hard surfaces that may scratch the crystal. While mineral glass is durable, it is not scratch-proof.
- Crown Operation: When adjusting the dual time zones, date, or day functions, ensure you pull the crown out gently to the correct position. Never force the crown or adjust functions while the watch is wet. Push the crown firmly back to its closed position after adjustments.
- Storage: When not wearing the watch, store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. The original Police presentation box provides ideal storage, protecting the watch from dust and moisture.
- Battery Replacement: When the watch stops or shows signs of weakening (hand movement becoming irregular), have the battery replaced promptly at Cassim & Co. Leaving a depleted battery in the watch can cause leakage and damage the movement.
- Professional Servicing: We recommend having your Police Vigor inspected every 2-3 years at Cassim & Co. Our technicians will check the movement, replace the battery if needed, verify water resistance seals, and ensure all functions operate correctly.
- Magnetic Fields: Keep the watch away from strong magnetic sources such as speakers, mobile phones, magnetic clasps, and tablets, as these can temporarily affect the quartz movement's accuracy.
