Product Information
Full details
The Rotary 1895 in gold is an ideal choice for individuals seeking a versatile, minimalist timepiece that transitions effortlessly between professional settings and formal events. Its key benefit lies in its slim, elegant profile and sophisticated champagne dial, which offers a vintage aesthetic without sacrificing modern reliability. However, potential owners should note that its mineral bubble glass is more prone to scratching than sapphire crystal, requiring careful handling to maintain its pristine appearance.

FAQs
Is the Rotary 1895 gold-plated or solid gold?
The watch features a gold PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) coating over a stainless steel base, which provides a durable gold-tone finish.
Can I wear this watch while swimming?
No. While it has 50m water resistance, this is intended for hand washing or light splashes. It should not be submerged in pools or the ocean.
How often does the battery need replacing?
Typical battery life for this quartz movement is between 2 to 3 years depending on usage.
What is the lug width for strap changes?
The Rotary 1895 features a specific lug design; it is recommended to use the provided bracelet, as third-party straps may not fit the integrated aesthetic.
Does the watch have a second hand?
No, the 1895 utilizes a clean two-hand display for the hour and minute, contributing to its minimalist design.
Is the mineral glass shatterproof?
Mineral glass is durable against general impact but can crack or shatter if subjected to a direct, high-force blow.
Troubleshooting
Watch has stopped keeping time
The battery likely requires replacement; take the watch to an authorized service center to maintain the 50m seal integrity.
Watch loses time or runs slowly
Ensure the crown is fully pushed in. If the issue persists, the internal quartz battery may be nearing the end of its life.
Scratches on the bracelet
Surface swirls on polished gold PVD can often be minimized by professional light buffing, but avoid aggressive abrasive materials.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting the Time: Pull the crown out gently to the first and only position. Rotate the crown clockwise or counter-clockwise to set the hour and minute hands. Push the crown fully back in to start the movement.
Bracelet Adjustment: If the watch does not fit correctly out of the box, use a professional jeweler tool or visit a local watchmaker to remove links from the 9-link bracelet. Avoid attempting to force the pins yourself to prevent damaging the polished finish.
Care Instructions:
- Clean the watch periodically using a soft, dry microfiber cloth to remove skin oils.
- Avoid contact with perfumes, colognes, and harsh chemicals, which can cause the gold PVD plating to oxidize or discolor.
- Store the watch in a lined box to prevent the mineral glass from coming into contact with hard surfaces that could cause scratches.
