FAQ
Q: Is this watch suitable for daily wear?
A: Yes, the Rotary Heritage Astoria RLB10025/24 is ideal for daily wear. Its Swiss quartz movement requires minimal maintenance beyond periodic battery changes, and the two-tone stainless steel construction is durable and resistant to tarnishing. The 30-metre water resistance protects against incidental splashes and hand-washing, though it should not be worn while swimming or showering.
Q: What does the 30-metre water resistance rating mean?
A: A 30-metre (3 ATM) water resistance rating indicates the watch is splash-resistant and protected against rain and hand-washing. It is not suitable for swimming, showering, or water sports. We recommend removing the watch before any prolonged water exposure to maintain the integrity of the seals and movement.
Q: How often will the battery need replacing?
A: Quartz watch batteries typically last between 2 to 3 years depending on usage. When battery replacement is needed, our servicing team at Cassim & Co. can perform this service professionally, ensuring water resistance seals are properly maintained during the process.
Q: Can the bracelet be adjusted to fit my wrist?
A: Yes, the multi-link bracelet can be professionally sized by removing or adding links. This complimentary service is available at our Mall of the South boutique at the time of purchase, or anytime thereafter. We recommend professional sizing to ensure proper fit and bracelet integrity.
Q: What inspired the design of the Heritage Astoria collection?
A: The Heritage Astoria collection draws inspiration from Art Deco aesthetics of the 1920s and 1930s, characterized by the distinctive oval case shape, Roman numeral markers, and elegant proportions. This particular model's deep green dial adds a contemporary touch to the vintage-inspired design language.
Q: Is the gold colour plating or solid gold?
A: The gold-tone elements on this watch are gold-plated over a stainless steel base, not solid gold. This construction method provides the luxurious aesthetic of gold at an accessible price point while maintaining durability. The plating is applied to industry standards and will maintain its appearance with proper care.
Q: Does this watch come with the full manufacturer warranty?
A: Yes, when purchased from Cassim & Co. as an authorised Rotary retailer, this watch includes the full 2-year international Rotary warranty covering manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship. The warranty card will be completed and provided with your purchase.
Warranty
- This watch is covered by a 2-year international Rotary warranty from the date of purchase when bought from an authorised retailer.
- The warranty covers manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship under normal use conditions.
- The warranty does not cover normal wear and tear, including bracelet stretch, crystal scratches, or case finish deterioration from regular use.
- Battery replacement is not covered under warranty, as batteries are considered consumable components with a limited service life.
- Damage resulting from accidents, misuse, unauthorized repairs, or modifications voids the warranty.
- Water damage resulting from improper use (swimming, showering, or operating the crown underwater) is not covered, even within the stated water resistance rating.
- The warranty is valid only when the watch is purchased from an authorised Rotary retailer such as Cassim & Co., and requires presentation of the original warranty card and proof of purchase.
- Rotary reserves the right to repair or replace defective components at their discretion during the warranty period.
- This warranty does not affect your statutory rights as a consumer in South Africa.
Care Guide
- Wipe the case and bracelet regularly with a soft, lint-free cloth to remove oils, perspiration, and dust that can accumulate during wear.
- Avoid exposure to chemicals including perfumes, cosmetics, cleaning products, and solvents, as these can damage the gold plating and seals.
- Remove the watch before showering, swimming, or engaging in water activities, as the 30-metre water resistance is intended for splash protection only.
- Store the watch in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not wearing it. A watch box or soft pouch is ideal for protecting the crystal and bracelet from scratches.
- Have the battery replaced by a professional watchmaker when the watch stops or shows weak timekeeping. DIY battery changes risk damaging the movement and compromising water resistance.
- Avoid exposing the watch to extreme temperatures, strong magnetic fields, or impact, as these can affect the quartz movement's accuracy.
- If the bracelet becomes loose or shows signs of wear, have it inspected and serviced promptly to prevent loss of the watch.
- The gold plating will naturally show signs of wear over time with regular use. To preserve its appearance, avoid abrasive contact and consider professional re-plating if desired after several years.
- Have the watch professionally serviced every 3-4 years to ensure water resistance seals remain intact and the movement continues to function optimally.
