FAQs
How do I wind the watch?
The Rotary Seamatic GB05430/04 is an automatic watch; it winds itself with the movement of your wrist. If it has stopped, you can manually wind it by turning the crown clockwise about 20-30 times. Ensure the crown is then pushed back into the original position.
How often should I have the watch serviced?
It is recommended to have your watch serviced every 3-5 years, or if you notice any changes in its performance or water resistance.
Is the watch suitable for swimming?
Yes, the watch is water-resistant up to 300m, making it suitable for swimming and diving.
How do I use the bezel?
The unidirectional bezel is used to track elapsed time. Align the zero marker on the bezel with the minute hand at the start of your activity. The bezel then indicates how much time has passed.
What kind of crystal does the watch have?
The watch features a sapphire crystal with a cyclops magnifier over the date window for enhanced scratch resistance and clarity.
Where can I get the watch serviced?
You can have your watch serviced by an authorized Rotary service center or a qualified watchmaker.
What is the warranty period?

How do I clean the watch?
Use a soft cloth and, if needed, mild soap and water. Ensure the crown is closed before cleaning. Avoid using harsh chemicals.
Troubleshooting
Watch is not keeping accurate time.
The watch may need to be wound (if it's an automatic model) or serviced. Check if the crown is fully pushed in.
