Description
The Rotary Regent GB05415/04 is a striking exhibition of mechanical artistry, where British watchmaking heritage meets contemporary design. This automatic skeleton watch showcases the intricate beauty of its self-winding movement through a fully skeletonised dial, revealing every gear, bridge, and balance wheel in mesmerising detail. The black dial with exposed movement creates a captivating contrast against the brushed stainless steel case, offering a window into the heart of horological craftsmanship.
Housed within a distinctive 40mm multi-facetted brushed stainless steel case, the Regent collection's trademark octagonal design sets it apart from conventional timepieces. The integrated H-link bracelet flows seamlessly from the case, creating a unified aesthetic that balances sporty sophistication with mechanical intrigue. Sapphire crystal protects the dial, offering superior scratch resistance and crystal-clear visibility of the intricate movement beneath. Water resistant to 100 metres, this timepiece is built for everyday wear, whether you're at the office or enjoying a weekend adventure.

FAQ
Q: Does this watch require a battery?
A: No, the Rotary Regent GB05415/04 is powered by an automatic (self-winding) mechanical movement. It harnesses energy from the natural motion of your wrist throughout the day. If you wear it regularly, it will maintain its power reserve without any battery replacement ever being needed.
Q: What does "skeleton dial" mean?
A: A skeleton dial features cut-away sections that reveal the intricate mechanical movement beneath. In this Regent model, you can see the gears, bridges, balance wheel, and other components working in real-time, offering a mesmerising view of the watchmaking craft.
Q: Is this watch suitable for swimming?
A: Yes, with 100 metres (10 ATM) water resistance, this watch is suitable for swimming, showering, and recreational water activities. However, we recommend avoiding hot water exposure and operating the crown while underwater to maintain the seal integrity.
Q: How long will the watch run if I don't wear it?
A: Automatic watches typically have a power reserve of 38-48 hours when fully wound. If you don't wear the Regent for a day or two, it will gradually wind down and stop. Simply pick it up, give it a gentle shake to restart the movement, set the time, and wear it normally to keep it running.
Q: Can the bracelet be adjusted to fit my wrist?
A: Absolutely. The integrated stainless steel bracelet can be professionally sized at our Johannesburg showrooms at the time of purchase, or during any subsequent visit. Our team will ensure a comfortable, secure fit on your wrist.
Q: What is sapphire crystal and why is it important?
A: Sapphire crystal is a synthetic material that ranks 9 on the Mohs hardness scale, making it highly scratch-resistant (second only to diamond). It provides superior protection for your watch dial while maintaining exceptional clarity, ensuring your skeleton movement remains clearly visible for years.
Q: Is this watch covered by an official Rotary warranty?
A: Yes, as an authorised Rotary retailer, Cassims & Co. provides this watch with a full 2-year international manufacturer warranty covering manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship. The warranty is valid from your date of purchase and comes with complete documentation.

- Warranty Validity: This warranty is only valid when the watch is purchased from an authorised Rotary retailer such as Cassims & Co. Proof of purchase is required for all warranty claims.

Care guide
- Daily Wear: Avoid exposing your automatic watch to strong magnetic fields (speakers, mobile phones, magnetic clasps) as this can affect timekeeping accuracy.
- Winding: If the watch has stopped, gently shake it or manually wind it using the crown (if your model supports hand-winding) before setting the time. Wear it regularly to maintain the automatic winding mechanism.
- Crown Operation: Always ensure the crown is pushed in or screwed down (if applicable) after setting the time to maintain water resistance. Never operate the crown while underwater or when the watch is wet.
- Water Exposure: Although water-resistant to 100 metres, rinse your watch with fresh water after exposure to saltwater or chlorinated water. Avoid hot water, saunas, and steam rooms as heat can damage seals.
- Cleaning: Clean the stainless steel case and bracelet regularly with a soft, slightly damp cloth. For deeper cleaning of the bracelet, use a soft brush with mild soapy water, then dry thoroughly.
- Storage: When not wearing your watch for extended periods, store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Consider using a watch winder if you own multiple automatic watches to keep them running.
- Servicing: We recommend professional servicing every 3-5 years to maintain optimal performance. This includes movement cleaning, lubrication, seal replacement, and water resistance testing.
- Sapphire Crystal Care: While highly scratch-resistant, sapphire crystal can still chip or crack from sharp impacts. Avoid dropping your watch or striking it against hard surfaces.
- Bracelet Maintenance: Check bracelet pins and links periodically for signs of wear. If you notice any looseness, visit our boutique for inspection and tightening.
