The Rotary Greenwich GS05354/05 is a masterclass in contemporary horology, fusing traditional automatic watchmaking with modern skeletonised design. This 42mm timepiece showcases a stunning exposed automatic movement through a meticulously cut blue dial, revealing the intricate mechanical ballet that powers this watch. The rose gold PVD-coated stainless steel case provides a warm, luxurious contrast against the deep blue leather strap, creating a sophisticated aesthetic that transitions effortlessly from boardroom to evening wear.

FAQ
Q: What does 'skeleton' or 'open-worked' mean on this watch?
A: A skeleton watch features a dial with cut-away sections that reveal the inner workings of the movement. The Rotary Greenwich GS05354/05 showcases the automatic mechanism through the dial, allowing you to watch the gears, wheels, and balance wheel operate in real-time. This design celebrates the artistry of mechanical watchmaking.
Q: How does an automatic watch work, and do I need to wind it?
A: An automatic watch is powered by the natural motion of your wrist throughout the day. A rotor inside the movement spins with your arm movement, winding the mainspring that powers the watch. If you wear it regularly, it will keep running. If left unworn for 36-48 hours, it will stop and need to be manually wound using the crown or simply worn again to restart.
Q: Can I swim or shower with this watch?
A: With 50 metres of water resistance, this watch can handle splashes, rain, and hand washing, but it is not suitable for swimming, showering, or water sports. The leather strap should also be kept dry to preserve its condition. For water activities, we recommend a watch with at least 100 metres of water resistance.
Q: What is the difference between sapphire crystal and mineral glass?
A: Sapphire crystal is significantly more scratch-resistant than mineral glass, ranking 9 on the Mohs hardness scale (second only to diamond). This makes it highly durable for everyday wear. The Rotary Greenwich GS05354/05 features sapphire crystal on both the front and exhibition caseback, ensuring long-lasting clarity.
Q: What is rose gold PVD coating, and will it wear off?
A: PVD (Physical Vapour Deposition) is a durable coating process that bonds rose gold-coloured material to the stainless steel case at a molecular level. It is highly resistant to wear, fading, and corrosion. With normal care, the rose gold finish on this Rotary watch will maintain its appearance for many years.
Q: Does this watch come with a warranty?
A: Yes, when purchased from an authorised retailer like Cassims & Co., this watch includes a 2-year international Rotary warranty covering manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship. The warranty does not cover normal wear, battery replacement (not applicable for automatic watches), accidental damage, or water damage due to misuse.
Q: Can I replace the leather strap if it wears out?
A: Absolutely. The Rotary Greenwich GS05354/05 features a standard 20mm strap width, making it compatible with a wide variety of aftermarket leather, rubber, or fabric straps. Our team at Cassims & Co. can assist with strap replacements and recommend suitable options to refresh the look of your watch.

Care guide
- Wind your automatic watch regularly if not worn daily; a full wind requires approximately 30-40 crown rotations in the clockwise direction
- Store your watch in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use
- Avoid exposing your watch to extreme temperatures, strong magnetic fields, or harsh chemicals
- Do not operate the crown when the watch is wet or submerged
- Keep the leather strap dry; avoid prolonged water exposure which can damage the strap and reduce its lifespan
- Clean the case with a soft, lint-free cloth; for the leather strap, use a slightly damp cloth and allow to air dry naturally
- Have your watch serviced every 3-5 years by a qualified watchmaker to maintain optimal performance and accuracy
- Avoid impact and dropping your watch, as automatic movements contain delicate components
- When not wearing your watch for extended periods, consider using a watch winder to keep the automatic movement running
- Store away from strong magnets (speakers, laptops, magnetic clasps) which can affect timekeeping accuracy
