Stepping up in Police's range
The Ray sits squarely in Police's line of oversized, style-forward pieces — a 51mm case designed to read from a distance and make no attempt at understatement. The hydraulic-patterned dial gives the grey face a layered, almost liquid quality that shifts with the angle of light, and the black PVD case keeps the whole thing from reading as purely decorative. At 114 grams on the wrist, it has presence you can feel. The GMT complication suits someone who needs a second time zone readable at a glance without scrolling through menus, and the blue silicone strap is pliable enough that the size carries without fatigue. The buckle closure is straightforward and positions the case consistently across the wrist each time.

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.
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?
Yes. It is quartz, so expect a battery change every two to three years at a jeweller.
Is it a men's or women's watch?
Listed as men's.
