The Rotary Henley Seamatic GB05430/80 is a purpose-built automatic diver that marries British horological heritage with serious underwater capability. Engineered to 300 metres of water resistance and powered by a reliable automatic movement, this 42mm timepiece features a striking black dial with distinctive aqua blue accents on the unidirectional ceramic bezel—a design choice that sets it apart in the dive watch landscape. The luminous indices and hands ensure legibility in low-light conditions, while the date window at 3 o'clock adds practical everyday utility.
Housed in a robust stainless steel case with a brushed and polished finish, the Seamatic wears comfortably on a solid three-link stainless steel bracelet. The screw-down crown and case back ensure water integrity, making this a genuine tool watch suitable for serious diving and water sports. At Cassims & Co., we are proud to offer this exceptional timepiece as authorised retailers of ROTARY watches, ensuring you receive full manufacturer warranty and after-sales support.
The automatic movement visible through the exhibition case back delivers smooth sweeping motion and eliminates the need for battery changes, winding naturally with the motion of your wrist. The ceramic bezel insert offers superior scratch resistance compared to aluminium alternatives, ensuring your watch maintains its sharp appearance for years to come. Whether you're exploring the depths or navigating the urban jungle, the Henley Seamatic delivers both technical credibility and distinctive style.

Q: Does the automatic movement require batteries?

Care Guide
- Rinse the watch with fresh water after exposure to salt water or chlorine to prevent corrosion and maintain the bracelet's finish
- Ensure the screw-down crown is fully secured before any water exposure to maintain the 300m water resistance rating
- Avoid operating the crown or bezel while the watch is submerged underwater
- Service the automatic movement every 3-5 years to maintain accuracy and water resistance seals
- Store the watch on a watch winder or ensure it is worn regularly to keep the automatic movement running smoothly
- Clean the stainless steel case and bracelet with a soft cloth; use a soft brush with mild soap and water for deeper cleaning of the bracelet links
- Avoid exposing the watch to strong magnetic fields, which can affect the accuracy of the mechanical movement
- Protect the watch from severe impacts and shocks, though the automatic movement does feature shock resistance
