The Rotary Seamatic Eclipse RGB10007/05 is a masterclass in mechanical transparency, offering a captivating window into the soul of Swiss-inspired automatic watchmaking. This skeletonised timepiece reveals the intricate ballet of gears, bridges, and jewels that power its self-winding movement, with a striking blue dial backdrop that adds depth and drama to the exposed mechanics. The alternating silver and gold-toned hour markers create a distinctive sunburst effect around the dial, framing the open-heart architecture with vintage-inspired elegance.
Housed in a robust brushed stainless steel case and paired with a solid three-link bracelet, this 100-metre water-resistant watch balances technical sophistication with everyday wearability. The automatic movement requires no battery—powered instead by the natural motion of your wrist—making it a timepiece that connects you to the centuries-old tradition of mechanical horology. A subsidiary seconds register at 6 o'clock provides additional visual interest and functional precision, while the transparent caseback allows you to appreciate the movement from both sides.

FAQ
Q: What does 'automatic' movement mean?
A: An automatic watch is powered by a self-winding mechanical movement that uses the natural motion of your wrist to wind the mainspring. There's no battery required—the rotor inside the watch oscillates as you move, continuously winding the movement. If unworn for 2-3 days, you'll need to manually wind it or wear it to restart the power reserve.
Q: Can I swim with this watch?
A: Yes, with 100 metres (10 ATM) of water resistance, this watch is suitable for swimming, showering, and recreational water activities. However, avoid operating the crown underwater and ensure it's fully pushed in before water exposure. We do not recommend it for diving or high-impact water sports.
Q: What is a skeleton dial?
A: A skeleton or skeletonised dial features cut-away sections that reveal the mechanical movement beneath. In this Seamatic Eclipse, you can see the gears, bridges, balance wheel, and jewels working in harmony—it transforms the watch into a kinetic sculpture that celebrates the artistry of mechanical watchmaking.
Q: How often does this watch need servicing?
A: Automatic mechanical watches typically require servicing every 3-5 years to maintain optimal performance. This involves cleaning, lubrication, and regulation of the movement. Our servicing team at Cassim & Co. can assist with routine maintenance and connect you with authorised service centres when required.
Q: Can the bracelet be adjusted to fit my wrist?
A: Absolutely. The stainless steel bracelet can be professionally sized by removing or adding links. We offer complimentary bracelet sizing when you purchase from our Mall of the South boutique, ensuring a perfect fit before you leave the store.
Q: Is the Rotary Seamatic Eclipse a good value for an automatic watch?
A: Yes, the Seamatic Eclipse offers exceptional value in the automatic skeleton watch category. You're getting a genuine mechanical movement, skeletonised architecture, solid stainless steel construction, and 100m water resistance at a price point that makes Swiss-quality automatic watchmaking accessible.
Q: What is the subsidiary dial at 6 o'clock?
A: That's the running seconds subdial, which displays the seconds hand separately from the main dial. This is both a functional complication and a design element that adds visual symmetry and technical depth to the watch face, while allowing you to confirm at a glance that the movement is running.

Care Guide
- Avoid exposing your automatic watch to strong magnetic fields (speakers, magnetic clasps, mobile phones) as this can affect timekeeping accuracy.
- If the watch has stopped due to inactivity, gently hand-wind it by rotating the crown clockwise 20-30 times, or simply wear it to allow the automatic rotor to wind the mainspring.
- Ensure the crown is fully pushed in and secured before any water exposure to maintain the 100m water resistance rating.
- Clean the stainless steel case and bracelet regularly with a soft, slightly damp cloth to remove dirt, oils, and perspiration.
- Avoid impact, dropping, or knocking the watch against hard surfaces, as mechanical movements contain delicate components that can be damaged by shock.
- Store your watch in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not wearing it. A watch box or soft pouch is ideal.
- Have your watch pressure-tested annually if you regularly expose it to water, and service the movement every 3-5 years to ensure longevity.
- Do not operate the crown or any pushers while the watch is wet or submerged, as this can compromise water resistance.
- If condensation appears under the crystal, have the watch inspected immediately by a professional watchmaker.
