Description

The 1895 Chronograph blends vintage cues with modern practicality, built around a 40mm 304L gold PVD stainless steel case with a compact 46.7mm lug-to-lug and an 11.9mm profile. Its champagne dial offers a clean, refined finish, complemented by contrasting black sub-dials and a 24-hour indicator for added utility. Japanese Super-Luminova hands and indices ensure strong visibility in all conditions, while a date window adds everyday functionality.

Powered by a meca-quartz chronograph movement, the watch delivers mechanical-feeling actuation with quartz reliability. Mineral bubble glass enhances its classic character, and 50m water resistance supports day-to-day wear. The leather strap, finished with box stitching, completes the design with a subtle vintage edge.

A refined, versatile chronograph - balancing vintage styling with dependable modern performance.

Update to previous review

Update to previous review: After getting a full refund, the watch was returned in apparently full working order, & now looks lovely either on, or off of my wrist. It is one only 2-3 watches I have, whose leather strap fits properly FIRST TIME, & every time.
Plus I waiting & hoping I don't miss (in September) getting a Rotary RGB10069/24 'Heritage Chronograph' (DARK GREEN DIAL), as that model was my original 'target', but it was sold out.
THE MOD / ATP Watches that are arriving later in the year are also something I don't want to miss - especially the Automatiic ARMY (37mm or 40mm) & Automatic NAVY (40mm), but ESPECIALLY the 'Spitfire' model (Automatic & 38mm to 40mm, he hopes) which I expect may look 'similar' to the Army model, & NOT be a 'chronograph' like dome current 'Pilot Chronographs as they have 'too much information' on them, for me, with those 'tachymeters & slide rules' getting in the way.

I think a 'special limited (3x watch) edition box set' (in a nice wooden box, with different strap options) cotaining the Automatic ARMY, Automatic NAVY divers' & Spitfire Pilot (a 'simpler chronograph'?) & info about the history of 'the ATP', LRDG, Royal Navy 'Frogmen' (especially the 'cockleshell heroes'), & Battle of Britain Spitfire/Hurricane Pilots. THAT would be a collectors item for sure!

Hi there, thank you for sharing your detailed update and your exciting plans! We're glad the Rotary 1895 Chronograph has a good fit, and we hope you get the chance to add the Heritage Chronograph and the other models to your collection soon. Thanks for being such a passionate supporter of Rotary watches.

Delivered with a faulty movement. I suspected a flat or faulty battery!

It was delivered on a thursday - last week with a faulty movement. The battery was checked, swapped for a new one, & the watch was discovered to have a faulty movement. You have or should have bedn been contacted already, by "F.Hinds", [****], who 'Jamie' is or should be aware of, that 'checked the watch under warranty'. That watch will be returned as of 2moro (15th July 2026) within 'the 30 days' - "quoted by F.Hinds" that I have for returning it for a full refund. You should be aware of my "bank account details", so you know what account to repay to me the 'original cost', of that watch. The cost was either £189.00 or £189.99, or similar, but NOT LESS than '£189.00'.

Hi there, we're sorry to hear about the issue with your watch. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.
