FAQ
Q: What movement powers the Seiko SWR106P1?
A: This watch is powered by a precise Japanese quartz movement, offering exceptional accuracy and low maintenance. Quartz movements typically require a battery change every 2-3 years, which our service team can perform at our Mall of the South boutique.
Q: Is this watch suitable for swimming or showering?
A: The SWR106P1 has 50 metres of water resistance, making it suitable for light splashes and brief immersion. However, we recommend avoiding hot showers, swimming, and water sports to preserve the leather strap and maintain the case seals. This is primarily a dress watch designed for daily wear.
Q: What is the case size, and will it suit a smaller wrist?
A: With a 27.2mm diameter and 39.0mm lug-to-lug measurement, this watch is designed for slender to medium wrists. The rectangular case wears elegantly without overwhelming smaller wrists, making it an excellent unisex option or a refined men's dress watch.
Q: Can I replace the leather strap with a different material?
A: Yes, the 22mm lug width accepts standard watch straps. We can assist with sourcing alternative leather straps, or you may consider a fabric or rubber option for more casual wear. Visit our boutique for strap options and professional fitting.
Q: What is the significance of the sapphire crystal?
A: Sapphire crystal is the gold standard in watchmaking, second only to diamond in hardness. It offers superior scratch resistance compared to mineral glass or acrylic, ensuring your dial remains pristine for decades. This is a premium feature typically found in higher-end timepieces.
Q: Does this watch come with the full Seiko warranty?
A: Yes, as authorised Seiko retailers, every SWR106P1 purchased from Cassim & Co. includes the full 3-year international Seiko warranty, covering manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship. Your warranty card will be stamped and dated at the time of purchase.
Q: Is the gold colour plated or solid gold?
A: The case is gold-tone stainless steel, meaning it features a gold-coloured finish or plating over a stainless steel base. This provides the aesthetic of gold at a more accessible price point, with excellent durability for daily wear. Proper care will maintain the finish for many years.

Care Guide
- Daily Wear: Avoid exposing your watch to extreme temperatures, strong magnetic fields, and harsh chemicals including perfumes, solvents, and cleaning products, which may damage the case finish and leather strap.
- Water Exposure: While water-resistant to 50 metres, the SWR106P1 should not be worn during swimming, showering, or water sports. Leather straps are particularly vulnerable to water damage. If the watch becomes wet, dry it immediately with a soft cloth.
- Leather Strap Care: Keep the leather strap dry and avoid prolonged sun exposure, which can cause fading and cracking. Clean occasionally with a slightly damp cloth and allow to air dry naturally. Consider rotating with alternative straps to extend longevity.
- Crystal Cleaning: Clean the sapphire crystal with a soft, lint-free microfibre cloth. For stubborn marks, use a small amount of water. Avoid abrasive materials that may scratch the case finish.
- Battery Replacement: When the battery requires replacement (typically every 2-3 years), visit our authorised service centre to ensure proper sealing and water resistance testing. Never attempt to replace the battery yourself, as this may void your warranty.
- Storage: When not wearing your watch, store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. A watch box or pouch will protect it from dust and scratches.
- Regular Servicing: We recommend professional inspection every 3-4 years to check seals, clean the movement, and verify water resistance, ensuring your watch maintains optimal performance.
