Description
The Rotary Henley GMT GS05108/05 is a sophisticated traveller's timepiece that combines British design heritage with practical dual time zone functionality. Housed in a polished stainless steel case measuring 41.5mm in diameter, this quartz GMT watch features a striking sunburst blue dial with luminous hour markers and hands, complemented by a bi-directional rotating bezel for tracking a second time zone. The distinctive orange GMT hand adds a sporty accent to the dial, while the date window at 3 o'clock ensures everyday practicality. At Cassims & Co., we are proud to offer this versatile timepiece that transitions seamlessly from boardroom to weekend adventure.
The Henley GMT is fitted with a premium tan brown leather strap secured with a tang buckle, offering a refined contrast to the stainless steel case and blue dial. Sapphire crystal glass protects the dial from scratches, while the watch maintains a water resistance rating of 100 metres, making it suitable for swimming and everyday wear. The quartz movement ensures accurate timekeeping with minimal maintenance, requiring only periodic battery replacement to keep your watch running precisely.
Rotary has been crafting quality timepieces since 1895, and the Henley collection embodies the brand's commitment to accessible Swiss-inspired design with British character. The GMT complication is ideal for frequent travellers or those who regularly communicate across time zones, allowing you to track home time while travelling abroad.

FAQ
Q: What is a GMT watch and how do I use the GMT function?
A: A GMT watch displays a second time zone simultaneously with your local time. The Rotary Henley GMT features an orange GMT hand that completes one rotation every 24 hours, used in conjunction with the bi-directional rotating bezel to track a second time zone. To set it, rotate the bezel to align the desired time zone offset with the GMT hand while keeping your local time on the main hour hand.
Q: Is the Rotary Henley GMT suitable for swimming?
A: Yes, with a water resistance rating of 100 metres (10 ATM), this watch is suitable for swimming and recreational water activities. However, it is not designed for diving or high-impact water sports. Always ensure the crown is pushed in completely before water exposure.
Q: How often will the battery need replacing?
A: Quartz watch batteries typically last between 2-3 years depending on usage. When your watch requires a battery replacement, visit our Johannesburg showrooms where our team can replace it professionally while checking the water resistance seals to maintain the watch's integrity.
Q: Can I replace the leather strap?
A: Yes, the Henley GMT uses a standard 20mm or 21mm lug width (please measure to confirm), allowing you to easily swap the leather strap for alternative straps including NATO, rubber, or other leather options. Our boutique can assist with strap changes and recommendations.
Q: Is this watch covered by an international warranty?
A: Yes, the Rotary Henley GMT GS05108/05 carries a 2-year international Rotary warranty valid from the date of purchase from an authorised retailer such as Cassims & Co. The warranty covers manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship but excludes normal wear, battery replacement, and damage from misuse.
Q: What is the case thickness of this watch?
A: The case thickness is 10.6mm, making the Henley GMT a comfortable everyday wear that slides easily under shirt cuffs while maintaining a solid, quality presence on the wrist.
Q: Does the dial have luminous markers for low-light visibility?
A: Yes, the hour markers and hands feature luminous material that charges in light and glows in dark conditions, allowing you to read the time easily at night or in low-light environments.

Care guide
- Wipe the stainless steel case and crystal regularly with a soft, lint-free cloth to remove fingerprints and daily residue.
- For the leather strap, avoid prolonged exposure to water, moisture, perfumes, and direct sunlight, as these can cause premature deterioration and discolouration.
- Clean the leather strap occasionally with a slightly damp cloth and allow it to dry naturally away from heat sources.
- Ensure the crown is pushed in fully against the case after setting the time to maintain water resistance.
- Avoid exposing your watch to extreme temperatures, strong magnetic fields, and harsh chemicals.
- If the watch gets wet, dry it thoroughly with a soft cloth, paying particular attention to the leather strap.
- Have the battery replaced by a professional watchmaker when the watch stops or shows signs of losing time, and request a water resistance check during battery replacement.
- Store your watch in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not wearing it.
- Avoid impact and shocks that could damage the movement or crystal.
- For optimal longevity, consider rotating your watches if you own multiple timepieces to reduce continuous wear on the leather strap.
