Police Dual PEWGQ0081901: A Reversible Watch with Two Faces
The Police Dual PEWGQ0081901 is a 44 mm men’s quartz watch whose case can be turned over, giving the wearer two different dial layouts on one strap. One face is a clean display with a simple date. The other has three sub-dials showing the date, the day of the week and a 24-hour indicator. The case is stainless steel in a silver tone, the dial shown is black with silver hands, and the strap is black silicone 26 mm wide. It belongs to the Dual collection from Police’s 2025 Fall/Winter range, and it is rated to 5 ATM.
The idea behind the watch is simple and practical. Rather than choosing between a minimal face for the office and a busier one for the weekend, you flip the case in its mount and wear whichever side suits the day. Everything else, from the movement to the strap, stays the same.
Case and Wrist Presence
The round case is 44 mm across and 15 mm thick, in stainless steel with a silver finish. The thickness comes from the reversible construction, which has to contain two faces and a mount that lets the case rotate, so the watch sits taller on the wrist than a standard single-face quartz of the same diameter. It is a watch with presence, and it suits medium to larger wrists. The case back is closed with screws and the crown is a pull crown.
The strap is black silicone with a 26 mm width where it meets the case, narrowing to 24 mm at the clasp, and it is held in a saddle-style screw mount. That mount is part of what allows the case to be turned. A silver-toned buckle closes the strap, and the strap fits wrists from about 170 mm to 220 mm, so it should work for most men.
- 44 mm silver steel case – a solid, masculine size with a bright finish
- Reversible case – two dial layouts in one watch
- Black silicone strap – light, flexible and easy to wipe clean
- Mineral crystal – durable glass over the dial
The Two Faces
The first face is the simple one. It shows the time with silver hour and minute hands against the black dial, plus a date display, and nothing else. It is the face to choose when you want a calm, uncluttered watch. The second face is busier, with three sub-dials that give the date, the day of the week and a 24-hour reading. That last indicator is useful for anyone who works across time zones or who simply wants to see whether the main hands are showing morning or evening.
The listing information we could verify describes the black dial and silver hands in detail but does not describe the colours of the second face, so we leave it to the photographs to show them. A retailer also mentions that the case can be worn with a silver or gold look, but the wording is unclear, so it is not relied upon here.
Quartz Movement
The watch uses a quartz movement, reported as a Seiko Instruments VX9N. Seiko Instruments is a Japanese movement manufacturer, and the VX9N is a quartz calibre that drives analogue hours, minutes and seconds along with the date, day and 24-hour displays on this watch. Quartz is accurate to within a few seconds a month, needs no winding and handles knocks well, which makes it a sensible choice for a case that gets turned over from time to time.
The battery is stated to last around 36 months and is a Renata cell, the SR927SW size. When it runs flat, have it replaced by a watchmaker so that the case seals are checked at the same time.
- Analogue quartz – accurate and low maintenance
- Date, day and 24-hour – shown on the sub-dial face
- Long battery life – roughly 36 months per battery
Strap and Fit
Silicone is a good material for a watch of this size. It is lighter than a steel bracelet, comfortable in warm weather and unaffected by sweat, rain or sunscreen. It does not crack or soak up water the way leather can, and it wipes clean with a damp cloth. The strap is secured with a pin buckle in a silver tone, and the length is fixed, with holes for adjustment, rather than made to be cut to size.
Water Resistance
The Dual is rated to 5 ATM, which equals 50 metres. In daily terms, that covers rain, hand washing and showering. It will usually be fine for a quick dip in a pool, but it is not for deep swimming, water sports or diving. Because the case rotates in its mount, keep the watch dry where you can, and never turn the case or pull the crown while it is wet.
The Police Dual Collection
Police is a lifestyle and fashion brand whose watches are known for bold cases and a distinctly urban look. The Dual collection is part of the brand’s 2025 Fall/Winter range and its defining idea is the reversible case. Rather than adding functions with extra pushers or buttons, it adds variety by letting the wearer choose between layouts. It is a conversation starter that is also easy to use, since the only action required is turning the case over in its mount.
Who This Watch Suits
- Men who like a large, striking watch with a real mechanical talking point
- Anyone who wants both a minimalist and a detailed dial without owning two watches
- Wearers who prefer a lightweight silicone strap to a metal bracelet
- Gift buyers looking for a fashion watch with a feature that other watches lack
Care and Maintenance
Wipe the case and the crystal with a soft dry cloth, and rinse the silicone strap in lukewarm water if it picks up dust or sunscreen. When you flip the case, hold the strap firmly and turn gently without forcing it, and check from time to time that the saddle screws in the mount are snug. Keep the watch away from solvents, strong heat and sharp edges that could mark the silicone. Have the battery replaced by a qualified watchmaker, and ask for the case-back seal to be checked so the 5 ATM rating is preserved.
