Warranty
- This Rotary watch is covered by a 2-year international manufacturer's warranty from the date of purchase.
- The warranty is valid only when the watch is purchased from an authorised Rotary retailer such as Cassim & Co.
- The warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship under normal use conditions.
- The warranty does not cover normal wear and tear, including scratches, strap wear, or crystal damage from impact.
- Battery replacement, routine maintenance, and servicing are not covered under warranty.
- Water damage resulting from improper use, failure to have seals tested, or operating the crown while submerged is excluded from coverage.
- Damage caused by accidents, misuse, unauthorised repairs, or modifications will void the warranty.

Care Guide
- Wipe the case and crystal regularly with a soft, lint-free cloth to remove fingerprints, dust, and moisture.
- Avoid exposing the watch to extreme temperatures, strong magnetic fields, or harsh chemicals including perfumes, solvents, and cleaning agents.
- Although water-resistant to 100 metres, do not operate the crown when the watch is wet or submerged, as this may compromise the seals.
- Have the water resistance tested annually if you regularly expose the watch to water, especially saltwater. Rinse with fresh water after ocean exposure.
- Keep the leather strap dry when possible. If the strap becomes wet, allow it to air-dry naturally away from direct heat sources.
- Condition the leather strap occasionally with a leather care product to maintain suppleness and prevent cracking.
- Store the watch in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not wearing it. The original Rotary box provides ideal protection.
- Have the battery replaced promptly when the watch stops to prevent potential leakage that could damage the movement.
- We recommend a complete service every 4-5 years to ensure optimal performance and maintain water resistance integrity.
