Police Urban Rebel Black Silicone Strap Watch - W44132
Ref. PEWJQ9003401
Sits in Police’s upper tier here — more premium than three quarters of the Police watches we list, which start at £50.
Price range £50 to £209 across 37 Police watches in stock.Part of the Tuneful collection, which Police positions as its most streetwear-influenced line, this watch is built for presence rather than subtlety. The 48mm case in black PVD is genuinely large, and at 12.3mm it sits on the wrist with some authority rather than sitting flat against it — this is a watch that announces itself. The multi-layered dial uses its sub-dials for day and date rather than the stopwatch functions they visually suggest, which gives the face an industrial complexity that reads at a distance. The 26mm lug width means the silicone strap fills the wrist proportionally, and the tang buckle keeps sizing straightforward.

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.
What size strap does it take?
26mm. Any strap of that width will fit, and on most modern watches quick-release bars make the swap a two-minute job with no tools.
Is it a men's or women's watch?
Listed as men's.
