Stepping up in the same dial colour
The Rig sits within a Police line built around sport utility rather than dress — chunky, multi-function pieces made to read as tools rather than accessories. The grey ion-plated finish distinguishes it from the black-cased sibling in the same family, giving the bracelet and case a unified, slightly industrial tone. At 47mm it wears large and is meant to. The analogue hands share the dial with a digital module, so the time is always readable at a glance regardless of which display you reach for first. The deployment clasp on the grey bracelet is the practical detail that matters most at this size — a bracelet this substantial needs a fastening that holds it squarely on the wrist, and a push-button deployant does that reliably in a way a standard buckle would not.

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?
No. It is automatic — the motion of your wrist winds it, and there is no cell to replace.
Quartz, automatic and solar comparedIs it a men's or women's watch?
Listed as men's.
Cheapest place to buy
F.Hinds is the only UK retailer we track stocking this reference, so there is nothing to compare it against today.
