Description
The Rotary Henley GB05235/05 is a sophisticated pilot-inspired chronograph watch that combines aviation heritage with contemporary Swiss-made precision. This timepiece features a striking blue sunray dial with three sub-dials measuring elapsed time, a date aperture at 6 o'clock, and luminous applied indices for enhanced legibility. The 42mm stainless steel case houses a sapphire crystal, offering superior scratch resistance and clarity, while the dual-pusher chronograph function provides professional-grade timing capabilities up to 60 minutes.
Powered by a reliable Swiss quartz movement, the Henley GB05235/05 delivers accurate timekeeping without the need for frequent winding. The distinctive stainless steel mesh bracelet offers both comfort and durability, secured with a push-button deployant clasp. Water-resistant to 50 metres, this watch is suitable for everyday wear and light splashes, though not designed for swimming or diving. The aviation-inspired design elements, including the tachymeter scale on the outer dial ring, pay homage to classic pilot watches whilst maintaining a refined aesthetic suitable for both professional and casual settings.

FAQ
Q: Is the Rotary Henley GB05235/05 a mechanical or quartz watch?
A: This watch is powered by a Swiss quartz movement, which provides accurate timekeeping and requires a battery replacement approximately every 2-3 years. Quartz movements are known for their precision and low maintenance compared to mechanical alternatives.
Q: How do I operate the chronograph function on this watch?
A: The chronograph features two pushers flanking the crown. Press the top pusher once to start timing, press again to stop. The bottom pusher resets the chronograph hands to zero. The sub-dials display elapsed minutes (up to 60), hours (up to 24), and running seconds.
Q: Can I wear this watch while swimming or showering?
A: With a water resistance rating of 50 metres (5 ATM), this watch is suitable for everyday wear and can withstand splashes or brief immersion in water. However, it is not recommended for swimming, showering, or any water sports. The chronograph pushers should never be operated underwater.
Q: Is the sapphire crystal scratch-resistant?
A: Yes, sapphire crystal is highly scratch-resistant and ranks 9 on the Mohs hardness scale, second only to diamond. This makes it exceptionally durable for daily wear, though it is not entirely scratchproof and can still chip if subjected to significant impact.
Q: Can the mesh bracelet be adjusted to fit my wrist?
A: Yes, the stainless steel mesh bracelet can be professionally adjusted at our Johannesburg showrooms or by removing links. We recommend visiting us for complimentary sizing to ensure a perfect fit. The bracelet features a secure push-button deployant clasp for ease of use.
Q: What is the purpose of the tachymeter scale on the dial?
A: The tachymeter scale, marked on the outer ring of the dial, allows you to measure speed over a known distance or calculate distance over a known speed using the chronograph function. This aviation-inspired feature was historically used by pilots for navigation calculations.
Q: Does this watch come with a warranty?
A: Yes, when purchased from Cassims & Co. as an authorised Rotary retailer, this watch includes a 2-year international Rotary warranty covering manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship. The warranty does not cover normal wear and tear, battery replacement, or damage from misuse.
Warranty
- This Rotary Henley watch carries a 2-year international manufacturer's 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.
- The warranty covers manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship under normal use conditions.
- The warranty does NOT cover: Normal wear and tear, scratches or cosmetic damage, battery replacement, damage caused by accidents or misuse, water damage resulting from improper use or failure to observe water resistance limitations, damage from unauthorised repairs or modifications, or loss or theft of the watch.
- To claim warranty service, the original proof of purchase from an authorised retailer must be presented.
- Warranty repairs must be carried out by authorised Rotary service centres. Unauthorised repairs will void the warranty.

- Cassims & Co. provides complimentary bracelet sizing and adjustment services for watches purchased from our boutique.
Care guide
- Avoid operating the chronograph pushers or crown when the watch is wet or submerged, as this may compromise water resistance.
- After exposure to saltwater, chlorine, or chemicals, rinse the watch with fresh water and dry thoroughly with a soft cloth.
- Have the water resistance tested annually, particularly if you frequently expose the watch to moisture.
- Store your watch in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not wearing it. Avoid exposure to extreme temperatures or magnetic fields.
- Clean the stainless steel case and mesh bracelet regularly using a soft brush, mild soap, and water to remove dirt and oils. Dry completely after cleaning.
- The quartz movement requires a battery replacement every 2-3 years. When the second hand begins jumping in intervals or the watch stops, visit our boutique for professional battery replacement to maintain water resistance seals.
- Avoid exposing the watch to strong impacts, vibrations, or dropping, as this may damage the movement or crystal.
- Keep the watch away from strong magnets (speakers, mobile phones, magnetic clasps), as these can affect timekeeping accuracy.
- We recommend professional servicing every 3-5 years to ensure optimal performance, during which gaskets and seals will be replaced to maintain water resistance.
- Do not attempt to open the case back yourself, as this will void the warranty and may compromise the watch's water resistance.
