FAQ
Q: What is the dual time function on this watch?
A: The dual time complication allows you to track a second time zone simultaneously. On the Northbridge, this is displayed via one of the sub-dials, making it ideal for frequent travellers or those who maintain business relationships across different time zones.
Q: Is this watch suitable for swimming?
A: With 50 metres water resistance, the Northbridge can withstand splashes, rain, and brief immersion such as handwashing. However, it is not suitable for swimming, diving, or showering. We recommend avoiding water contact with the pushers and crown to maintain the seal integrity.
Q: How long will the battery last in this quartz movement?
A: Quartz chronograph movements typically provide 2-3 years of battery life, depending on usage of the chronograph function. When replacement is needed, visit our Mall of the South boutique where our team can replace the battery and pressure-test the case to ensure continued water resistance.
Q: Can the leather strap be replaced or adjusted?
A: Yes, the 22mm leather strap can be easily replaced with any compatible 22mm strap. Our boutique stocks alternative straps and can assist with sizing and replacement. The tang buckle allows for micro-adjustments to achieve the perfect fit on your wrist.
Q: What do the geographic coordinates on the dial represent?
A: The coordinates (43.0225°N, 70.9181°W) reference Timberland's heritage location in New Hampshire, USA, where the brand was founded. This design element pays homage to Timberland's American outdoor roots and adds distinctive character to the dial.
Q: Does this watch come with an international warranty?
A: Yes, when purchased from Cassim & Co. as an authorised Timberland retailer, this watch carries a full 2-year international manufacturer's warranty covering manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship.
Q: Is the 45mm case size suitable for smaller wrists?
A: The 45mm case is considered large and wears prominently on the wrist. It is best suited to wrist sizes of 17cm and above. We recommend visiting our boutique to try the watch on and ensure the proportions work well with your wrist size before purchasing.
Warranty
- This Timberland Northbridge watch is covered by a 2-year international manufacturer's warranty from the date of purchase.
- The warranty is valid only when the watch is purchased from an authorised Timberland retailer such as Cassim & Co.
- Coverage includes manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship affecting the movement, case, hands, and dial.
- The warranty does not cover normal wear and tear, including scratches, dings, or surface marks on the case, crystal, or strap.
- Battery replacements are not covered under warranty, as batteries are considered consumable components with a limited service life.
- Water damage resulting from misuse, including operating pushers or crown while submerged, or exceeding the stated water resistance rating, is excluded from warranty coverage.
- Damage caused by accidents, impacts, unauthorised repairs, or modifications voids the warranty entirely.
- Strap wear, discolouration, or deterioration is not covered, as straps are subject to natural ageing and daily wear.
- To make a warranty claim, present your original proof of purchase and the watch to Cassim & Co. or any authorised Timberland service centre.
- Cassim & Co. will assess warranty claims and liaise directly with Timberland to facilitate repairs or replacements as appropriate.

Care Guide
- Wipe the stainless steel case and crystal with a soft, lint-free cloth regularly to remove fingerprints, dust, and moisture.
- Avoid exposing the watch to extreme temperatures, strong magnetic fields, or harsh chemicals including perfumes, solvents, and cleaning products.
- Do not operate the chronograph pushers or adjust the crown while the watch is wet or submerged, as this may compromise water resistance.
- Clean the leather strap with a slightly damp cloth only when necessary. Avoid soaking leather in water, as this will cause deterioration and discolouration.
- Condition the leather strap every 3-4 months with a quality leather conditioner to maintain suppleness and prevent cracking.
- Store the watch in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not wearing it. A watch box or pouch is ideal for protecting the case and strap.
- Have the battery replaced by a professional watchmaker when the watch stops or shows signs of low power. DIY battery replacement may damage the movement or compromise seals.
- We recommend a professional service every 3-4 years, including gasket inspection and replacement, to maintain optimal water resistance and movement performance.
- If the watch suffers impact or water ingress, bring it to our servicing team immediately for inspection to prevent internal damage.
- Avoid wearing the watch during high-impact sports or activities that may subject it to severe shocks beyond normal daily wear.
