Stepping up in Police's range

Price range £55 to £209 across 28 Police watches in stock.

At 48mm, the Kismet is unapologetically large — this is a watch that reads from across a table, and the brown textured dial with rose-tone markers sits warmly against the blacked-out case in a way that keeps it from feeling purely industrial. The three sub-dials track the day, date, and a 24-hour readout, which is a useful spread of information without requiring a change of watch when crossing time zones. The black ion-coating runs through case and bracelet together, so the whole thing sits as one piece on the wrist rather than a case dropped onto a band. At 11mm, the case is not especially slim, but it carries the width without feeling stacked.

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?

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

Water resistance explained

Will 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 compared

Does 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 compared

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

Listed as men's.
