Police Underlined Black Leather Strap Watch - W44143
Ref. PEWJB0005603
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 £209 across 32 Police watches in stock.The Underlined collection is Police's attempt at industrial-scale wrist presence — large cases, heavy surface treatment, dials that read from across the room. At 46mm in black PVD, this one sits firmly in that territory, and the green sunray dial against the darkened case creates a contrast that holds up in dim light as well as full sun. Eighty-six grams on a leather strap is noticeable without being uncomfortable, and the textured grain strap adds some grip to keep the case from sliding. The date sits cleanly at three without crowding the dial, and the outer track framing the chapter ring gives the face a structured, layered look that rewards a second glance.

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 comparedIs it a men's or women's watch?
Listed as men's.
