The Rotary Apex100 RGB10016/04 is a commanding two-tone diver's watch that merges classic sports watch design with modern horological engineering. Housed in a substantial 45mm stainless steel case with rose gold PVD accents, this quartz timepiece delivers both visual presence and technical capability. The black wave-textured dial creates a sophisticated interplay of light and shadow, while applied rose gold-tone indices and luminous markers ensure legibility in all conditions. A unidirectional rotating bezel with rose gold-tone numerals frames the dial, and the date window at 3 o'clock provides everyday practicality.
At Cassim & Co., we are proud to be an authorised retailer for ROTARY watches, ensuring every timepiece we offer is backed by the brand's international warranty and our commitment to excellence. The Apex100 is powered by a reliable Swiss-made quartz movement, offering precision timekeeping without the maintenance demands of a mechanical calibre. Sapphire crystal protects the dial from scratches, while the screw-down crown and 100-metre water resistance rating make this watch suitable for swimming and snorkelling, though not diving activities requiring greater depth capability.
The two-tone bracelet combines brushed stainless steel centre links with polished rose gold PVD outer links, creating a luxurious wrist presence that transitions effortlessly from boardroom to beach. The wave pattern on the dial is not merely decorative—it evokes the maritime heritage that underpins diver's watch design, whilst the luminous hands and markers ensure visibility when light conditions deteriorate. This is a watch for the discerning wearer who appreciates classic sports watch aesthetics without compromising on contemporary reliability.
Whether you're exploring our full collection at our Mall of the South boutique or browsing online, the Apex100 represents exceptional value in the accessible luxury segment. Our watch servicing and repairs team is always on hand to ensure your timepiece performs flawlessly for years to come, from battery replacements to bracelet adjustments. The Rotary Apex100 RGB10016/04 is a versatile sports watch that delivers Swiss quartz precision, robust construction, and timeless two-tone styling—a worthy addition to any watch collection.

FAQ
Q: Is the Rotary Apex100 suitable for swimming and water sports?
A: Yes. With 100 metres of water resistance and a screw-down crown, this watch is suitable for swimming, snorkelling, and recreational water activities. However, it is not rated for saturation diving or professional underwater use.
Q: What type of movement powers this watch?
A: The Apex100 RGB10016/04 uses a Swiss-made quartz movement, which provides exceptional accuracy and low maintenance. You can expect approximately 2-3 years of battery life under normal usage conditions.
Q: Will the rose gold finish wear off over time?
A: The rose gold finish is applied using PVD (Physical Vapour Deposition) coating, which is significantly more durable than traditional plating. With proper care, the finish will maintain its appearance for many years, though heavy abrasion may eventually cause wear in high-contact areas.
Q: Can the bracelet be adjusted to fit my wrist?
A: Absolutely. Our team at Cassim & Co. provides complimentary bracelet sizing with every watch purchase. Simply visit our Mall of the South boutique, or contact us to arrange sizing when ordering online.
Q: Is sapphire crystal really scratch-resistant?
A: Sapphire crystal is one of the hardest materials used in watchmaking, second only to diamond on the Mohs hardness scale. It is highly resistant to scratches from everyday wear, though it can still crack or chip if subjected to severe impact.
Q: How often does the battery need replacement?
A: Typically every 2-3 years, depending on usage. Our watch servicing team can replace your battery using genuine components, and we recommend having the water resistance seals tested whenever the case is opened.
Q: Does this watch come with an international warranty?
A: Yes. When purchased from Cassim & Co., an authorised Rotary retailer, this watch includes a 2-year international manufacturer's warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship.

- The warranty covers manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship under normal use conditions.
- The warranty does not cover normal wear and tear, including scratches, bracelet stretch, or crystal damage from impact.

Care Guide
- Rinse the watch with fresh water after exposure to salt water or chlorinated pools to prevent corrosive buildup.
- Ensure the screw-down crown is fully tightened before any water exposure to maintain the 100-metre water resistance rating.
- Clean the case and bracelet periodically with a soft cloth. For deeper cleaning, use lukewarm water and mild soap, then dry thoroughly.
- Avoid exposing the watch to extreme temperatures, strong magnetic fields, or harsh chemicals including solvents and perfumes.
- Have the water resistance seals tested every 2-3 years, particularly after battery replacement, to ensure continued protection.
- Store the watch in a cool, dry place when not in use. If storing for extended periods, consider having the battery removed to prevent potential leakage.
- The sapphire crystal is highly scratch-resistant but can crack under sharp impact—avoid striking the watch against hard surfaces.
