Description
The Rotary Avenger Sport GB05480/05 is a striking expression of contemporary British watchmaking, combining vintage-inspired aesthetics with modern quartz reliability. This 38mm timepiece features a distinctive cushion-shaped stainless steel case that frames a vibrant sunray blue dial, finished with applied luminous hour markers and a practical date window at 3 o'clock. The bold '12' numeral at twelve o'clock adds a sporty touch to the dial's refined architecture, whilst the polished and brushed finishes on the integrated stainless steel bracelet ensure versatile wearability from boardroom to weekend.
At Cassims & Co., we are proud to be an authorised retailer for ROTARY watches, ensuring every timepiece comes with full manufacturer warranty protection and genuine after-sales support.

With a slim 10mm case height, this watch sits comfortably on the wrist without compromising presence. The combination of polished case bevels and brushed top surfaces creates a sophisticated interplay of light, whilst the sunray blue dial shifts beautifully under changing light conditions. Our watch servicing and repairs team is always on hand to provide battery replacements, bracelet adjustments, and professional maintenance to keep your Rotary performing flawlessly for years to come.

FAQ
Q: Is the Rotary Avenger Sport suitable for swimming?
A: With 5 ATM (50 metres) water resistance, this watch is suitable for everyday splashes, hand washing, and light rain. It is not recommended for swimming, showering, or water sports, as these activities can exceed the pressure rating and compromise the seals.
Q: How often does the battery need replacing?
A: A standard quartz battery typically lasts 2-3 years depending on usage. When replacement is needed, bring your watch to our Johannesburg showrooms where our experts will fit a genuine battery and test the water resistance seals.
Q: Can the bracelet be resized?
A: Yes, the stainless steel bracelet can be professionally adjusted by removing or adding links. Complimentary sizing is available at our Johannesburg boutique with your purchase, and our team can assist with future adjustments as needed.
Q: What is the case size, and will it suit smaller wrists?
A: At 38mm diameter and 10mm thick, the Avenger Sport is a versatile mid-size watch that suits wrist sizes from approximately 15cm to 20cm. The cushion case shape wears slightly larger than a round 38mm case, offering good presence without being oversized.
Q: Is this watch covered by the Rotary international warranty?
A: Yes, this watch includes a 2-year international Rotary warranty from the date of purchase when bought from an authorised retailer such as Cassims & Co. The warranty covers manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship.
Q: What style of dress does this watch complement?
A: The Avenger Sport's blue dial and integrated bracelet design make it remarkably versatile. It pairs beautifully with business attire, smart-casual wear, and weekend clothing, transitioning effortlessly from office to leisure.
Q: Does the dial have luminous markers for low-light visibility?
A: Yes, the hands and hour markers feature luminous material that charges in natural or artificial light, providing enhanced legibility in low-light conditions for several hours after exposure.
Warranty
- This watch is covered by a 2-year international Rotary warranty from the date of purchase.
- The warranty is valid only when the watch is purchased from an authorised Rotary retailer such as Cassims & Co.
- Warranty coverage includes manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship under normal use conditions.
- The warranty does not cover normal wear and tear, including scratches, dings, or surface wear to the case, crystal, or bracelet.
- Battery replacement, routine maintenance, and bracelet adjustments are not covered under warranty.
- Water damage resulting from improper use, such as operating the crown whilst submerged or exceeding the stated water resistance rating, is excluded from warranty coverage.
- Accidental damage, unauthorised modifications, or servicing by non-authorised personnel will void the warranty.
- To claim warranty service, please present your original proof of purchase and contact Cassims & Co. for authorised service arrangements.

Care guide
- Wipe the case and bracelet regularly with a soft, lint-free cloth to remove fingerprints, perspiration, and daily residue.
- For deeper cleaning of the stainless steel bracelet, use lukewarm water with mild soap and a soft brush, ensuring the crown is pushed fully in. Dry thoroughly with a soft cloth.
- Avoid exposing the watch to extreme temperatures, strong magnetic fields, or harsh chemicals including perfumes, solvents, and cleaning agents.
- Do not operate the crown or pushers when the watch is wet, as moisture may enter the case and damage the movement.
- If the watch has been exposed to saltwater, rinse with fresh water and dry immediately to prevent corrosion of seals and finishes.
- Store your watch in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not being worn. A watch box or pouch will protect it from dust and scratches.
- Have the battery replaced promptly when the watch stops to prevent potential leakage that could damage the movement.
- We recommend a professional service every 3-4 years to maintain optimal performance, including gasket replacement and water resistance testing.
- Avoid impact or dropping the watch, as shock can affect timekeeping accuracy and damage the movement or crystal.
