Police The Bat Black Leather Strap Watch - Limited Edition - W44149
Ref. PEWGA0075502
Sits in Police’s upper tier here — more premium than three quarters of the Police watches we list, which start at £55.
Price range £55 to £189 across 18 Police watches in stock.One of 10,000 individually numbered pieces worldwide, this is a formal collaboration between Police and the Batman franchise — not a licensed logo dropped onto an existing model, but a watch designed around the character from the case outward. The blacked-out PVD treatment, the geometric lines cut across the dial and the Bat symbol worked into the texture are all deliberate, and they hold together as a single visual argument rather than a collection of branding decisions. At 45mm and 182 grams it wears with the kind of bulk that makes itself known on the wrist, and the matte PVD finish keeps it from reading as dressy despite the scale. The leather strap is stamped to resemble carbon fibre, which suits the tactical register the dial is aiming at.

Learn more about Police
Police began in Italy in 1983 as an eyewear brand under the Vogue and later De Rigo groups, and built its identity on sunglasses worn by film and music figures through the 1980s and 1990s.
The watches are licensed rather than made in-house, produced under agreement by a specialist watch manufacturer and sold through jewellers and department stores alongside the eyewear and fragrance.
Design follows the label: heavy cases, dark PVD finishes, exposed screws and industrial detailing, skull and heraldic motifs, and a masculine, deliberately loud aesthetic that changes with the season rather than the decade.
Movements are quartz, occasionally multi-function, and prices sit in the fashion-watch bracket.
Taken as an accessory that matches a particular look, the range does what it sets out to. It is not a watchmaking company and does not present itself as one.

Frequently asked questions, and things you should know about this watch
Can I swim with it?
Showering yes, swimming no. 50m covers splashes and brief immersion, but a swimming stroke generates well above the pressure that figure describes.
Water resistance explainedWill the glass scratch?
It can, over time. Mineral glass handles daily wear but will pick up fine scratches that sapphire would not.
Sapphire, mineral and acrylic comparedDoes it need a battery?
Yes. It is quartz, so expect a battery change every two to three years at a jeweller.
Quartz, automatic and solar comparedWhat size strap does it take?
22mm. Any strap of that width will fit, and on most modern watches quick-release bars make the swap a two-minute job with no tools.
Will it fit my wrist?
Lug-to-lug is 50mm, which suits wrists from roughly 16.5cm (6½ inches) upward.
Lug-to-lug decides fit more than case diameter does.
