Stepping up in the same dial colour

Police started making watches in 2003, two decades after the De Rigo brothers founded the brand in Italy, and the Vault chronograph sits at the practical end of what they produce — a broad-cased bracelet watch built for everyday use rather than any particular occasion. The three sub-dials spread across the black face give it the visual weight the 44mm case demands, and the date sits neatly alongside without crowding the layout. On the wrist it reads as a solid, undemanding piece. The brushed and polished bracelet carries the right balance of texture for a black dial, and the folding clasp holds it securely without fuss.

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.

1983: Founded in Italy as an eyewear brand.
1990: Celebrity endorsement establishes the label internationally.
1997: The licensed watch collection launches.
2005: Watches expand across European jewellers.
2015: Range widens into jewellery and leather goods.

Frequently asked questions, and things you should know about this watch

Can I swim with it?

No. At 30m it will survive rain and handwashing, but not submersion of any kind.

Will the glass scratch?

It can, over time. Mineral glass handles daily wear but will pick up fine scratches that sapphire would not.

Does it need a battery?

No. It is automatic — the motion of your wrist winds it, and there is no cell to replace.

Is it a men's or women's watch?

Listed as men's.
