FAQs

What type of movement does this watch use?

It uses a meca-quartz movement, which blends quartz accuracy with mechanical chronograph functionality.

Is the Rotary 1895 Chronograph waterproof?

It is water-resistant up to 50 meters, meaning it can withstand hand washing and light rain, but it is not suitable for swimming.

What is the lug width for changing straps?

The watch features a standard lug width, but please verify with a caliper for exact fitment before purchasing aftermarket straps.

How do I clean the leather strap?

Gently wipe with a soft, slightly damp cloth and allow it to air dry away from direct heat sources.

Does the watch have a warranty?

Rotary watches typically come with a manufacturer's warranty; please refer to the documentation included in the packaging for specific terms.

Troubleshooting

Chronograph hand does not reset to 12 o'clock

Pull the crown to the second position and use the pushers to adjust the hand back to the zero position.

Watch has stopped unexpectedly

The battery likely requires replacement; take the timepiece to an authorized service center.

Strap feels stiff on the wrist

Leather straps naturally soften over time with body heat and regular wear.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Reliable quartz-based timekeeping accuracy
  • Tactile feel of mechanical chronograph pushers
  • Versatile design suitable for formal and casual occasions
  • High legibility with luminous markers and hands

Cons

  • Mineral glass is more prone to scratching than sapphire crystal
  • 50m water resistance is sufficient for splashes but not for swimming
  • Leather strap requires a break-in period for optimal comfort

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set the time, pull the crown out to the second click. Rotate the crown until the hands reach the correct time, then push it back in. To set the date, pull the crown to the first click and rotate gently. The chronograph pushers at the 2 o'clock and 4 o'clock positions operate the stopwatch functions. For care, wipe the casing regularly with a soft, dry cloth to remove perspiration. To extend the life of the leather strap, keep it away from excessive moisture and oils. If the watch ever stops, it typically indicates the battery needs replacing; we recommend visiting a professional watchmaker to ensure the case back seal is maintained upon closure.
