Description
The Rotary Regent Chronograph GS05450/05 is a compelling timepiece that bridges the gap between vintage-inspired design and contemporary precision. Housed within a 40mm multi-faceted stainless steel case with a distinctive brushed finish, this watch commands attention with its bold octagonal silhouette and integrated crown guards. The sunray blue dial is adorned with applied silver-toned indices and three contrasting white chronograph sub-dials that track elapsed time with meticulous accuracy. Protected by scratch-resistant sapphire crystal and water-resistant to 100 metres, the Regent Chronograph is engineered for daily wear and active pursuits alike.
At Cassims & Co., we are proud to be an authorised retailer for ROTARY watches, bringing you timepieces backed by full international warranty and exceptional after-sales care. The GS05450/05 is powered by a reliable Swiss-made quartz chronograph movement, offering precision timekeeping without the need for regular winding. The tapered brown leather strap with crocodile embossing and contrasting stitching adds a refined touch, secured by a deployant clasp that ensures comfort and longevity.
This Regent model is ideal for the discerning gentleman who appreciates functional elegance without ostentation. The chronograph complication provides stopwatch functionality via two pushers flanking the crown, while the date aperture positioned at 4 o'clock maintains practical everyday utility. The dial's tachymeter scale on the outer chapter ring adds a sporty dimension, making this watch as capable on the track as it is in the boardroom.
Visit us at our Mall of the South boutique in Johannesburg to experience the Rotary Regent Chronograph in person, where our experienced team can assist with sizing and strap adjustments. Should you require battery replacements or routine maintenance in the future, our watch servicing and repairs team is always on hand to ensure your timepiece performs flawlessly for years to come. Nationwide delivery is available across South Africa for your convenience.

FAQ
Q: Is the Rotary Regent GS05450/05 suitable for swimming?
A: Yes, with 100 metres of water resistance, this watch is suitable for swimming and snorkelling. However, we recommend avoiding the chronograph pushers and crown whilst underwater to maintain the water-tight seal.
Q: What type of battery does this watch use and how often will it need replacement?
A: The Rotary Regent uses a standard Swiss quartz battery that typically lasts 2-3 years depending on chronograph usage. Our servicing team at Cassims & Co. can replace the battery and pressure-test the watch to ensure continued water resistance.
Q: Can the leather strap be replaced with a bracelet?
A: Yes, the watch features standard lug spacing and can accommodate aftermarket straps or bracelets. Visit our Johannesburg showrooms where we can recommend suitable alternatives and perform the strap change for you.
Q: What is the difference between sapphire crystal and mineral glass?
A: Sapphire crystal is significantly harder and more scratch-resistant than mineral glass, ranking 9 on the Mohs hardness scale. This ensures your dial remains pristine even with daily wear, though it should still be protected from sharp impacts.
Q: How do I operate the chronograph function?
A: Press the top pusher once to start the chronograph, press it again to stop. The bottom pusher resets all chronograph hands to zero. The three sub-dials measure 1/10 seconds, elapsed minutes (up to 30), and elapsed hours (up to 12).
Q: Is this watch covered by an international warranty?
A: Yes, as an authorised Rotary retailer, Cassims & Co. provides a full 2-year international manufacturer's warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship. Proof of purchase from an authorised dealer is required for warranty claims.
Q: Will the brown leather strap darken or patina over time?
A: Yes, quality leather straps develop a beautiful patina with wear, darkening slightly and conforming to your wrist shape. This is a natural characteristic of genuine leather and adds to the watch's individual character. Regular conditioning will keep the leather supple.

Care guide
- Wipe the stainless steel case and sapphire crystal with a soft, lint-free cloth after wear to remove fingerprints and perspiration.
- Avoid exposing the watch to extreme temperatures, strong magnetic fields, or harsh chemicals including solvents and perfumes.
- Do not operate the chronograph pushers or pull out the crown whilst the watch is wet or submerged, as this may compromise water resistance.
- Have the watch pressure-tested annually if you regularly expose it to water, especially after battery changes.
- Condition the leather strap every 3-6 months with a quality leather conditioner to prevent cracking and maintain suppleness.
- Avoid prolonged exposure of the leather strap to water, as this may cause discolouration and deterioration of the material.
- Store the watch in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not being worn. A watch box or pouch is ideal.
- If the watch stops unexpectedly or the chronograph function becomes erratic, bring it to our service centre for battery replacement and inspection.
- Service the quartz movement every 4-5 years to ensure longevity, including cleaning, lubrication, and gasket replacement to maintain water resistance.
