The Rotary Henley GS05083/05BRN is a commanding chronograph that combines British heritage with contemporary design. Housed in a polished 42mm stainless steel case, this timepiece features a striking blue sunray dial adorned with applied silver-toned indices and luminous hands. Three chronograph sub-dials — measuring 60 seconds, 60 minutes, and 24 hours — are accented with bold red hands, creating a dynamic visual contrast against the rich blue backdrop. A date aperture at 4 o'clock completes the functional layout, while the minute track encircling the dial ensures precise timekeeping.
Powered by a reliable quartz chronograph movement, the Henley delivers exceptional accuracy and hassle-free operation. The 316L stainless steel case is paired with a luxurious brown genuine leather strap embossed with a crocodile pattern, secured by a deployant clasp for comfort and security. This versatile timepiece transitions seamlessly from boardroom to weekend, offering water resistance suitable for daily wear. At Cassim & Co., we are proud to be an authorised retailer of ROTARY watches, ensuring every timepiece comes with full manufacturer warranty and provenance.

FAQ
Q: Is the Rotary Henley GS05083/05BRN suitable for swimming?
A: This watch has a water resistance rating of 5 ATM (50 metres), which makes it suitable for splashes and brief immersion in water, such as handwashing or light rain. However, it is not recommended for swimming, showering, or water sports, as the chronograph pushers should not be operated underwater.
Q: What type of movement powers this watch?
A: The Henley GS05083/05BRN is powered by a quartz chronograph movement, which offers exceptional accuracy and requires minimal maintenance. You can expect the battery to last approximately 2-3 years under normal use before requiring replacement.
Q: How do I operate the chronograph function?
A: The chronograph is operated using the two pushers on the right side of the case. The pusher at 2 o'clock starts and stops the chronograph timing, while the pusher at 4 o'clock resets the chronograph hands to zero. The three sub-dials display elapsed seconds, minutes, and hours.
Q: Can the leather strap be replaced?
A: Yes, the brown leather strap can be replaced if desired. We recommend visiting our Mall of the South boutique where our team can assist with strap changes and ensure proper fitment. We stock a variety of replacement straps and can advise on compatible options.
Q: What is included with my purchase?
A: Your Rotary Henley will arrive in its official presentation box, complete with warranty card, instruction manual, and all necessary documentation. As an authorised Rotary retailer, we ensure your watch is covered by the full 2-year international manufacturer warranty.
Q: Is this watch suitable for formal occasions?
A: Absolutely. The Rotary Henley's classic design, featuring a blue dial and brown leather strap, makes it an excellent choice for both formal business settings and smart-casual wear. The 42mm case size offers a commanding presence without being overly large.
Q: How often does the watch require servicing?
A: Quartz watches like the Henley require minimal servicing compared to mechanical timepieces. We recommend a battery replacement every 2-3 years and a full service every 5-7 years to ensure water resistance seals remain intact and the movement continues to function optimally.

Care Guide
- Avoid exposing your watch to extreme temperatures, strong magnetic fields, or direct impact, as these can affect timekeeping accuracy.
- Do not operate the chronograph pushers or crown while the watch is wet or submerged, as this may compromise water resistance.
- Wipe the case and crystal regularly with a soft, lint-free cloth to remove fingerprints, dust, and moisture.
- Keep the leather strap dry whenever possible. If the strap becomes wet, allow it to air-dry naturally away from direct heat sources.
- Condition the leather strap occasionally with a quality leather conditioner to maintain suppleness and prevent cracking.
- Store your watch in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not wearing it. The original presentation box provides ideal protection.
- Have the battery replaced by a qualified watchmaker when the watch stops or shows signs of reduced performance. Do not delay battery replacement, as a depleted battery may leak and damage the movement.
- We recommend having your watch's water resistance tested annually, especially if you expose it to water regularly.
- Avoid contact with chemicals, perfumes, cosmetics, and solvents, as these can damage both the case finish and leather strap.
- If your watch requires servicing or repair, visit Cassim & Co. where our authorised service centre can maintain your timepiece to factory specifications.
