Rotary GB00350/04 Watch Review

Dial & Case Design

The Rotary timepiece features a really nice high contrast dial design that makes it very easy to read. The chronograph sub dials are set out neatly allowing room for a small date display to be tucked between the 4 and 5 o’clock hour markers. The hands and hour markers have a small coating of lume making them more visible in dim lit conditions too.

The casing is made of a strong stainless steel with a polished finish. There are two chronograph pushers either side of the crown that’s located at the 3 o’clock position. Note that the crown is not screw down.

Type Of Crystal

This Rotary chronograph watch has a mineral crystal glass that’s commonly found at this price range. It’s a specially hardened glass that offers a good level of scratch and knock resistance. It’s not as strong as a sapphire crystal, but they’re typically found on more expensive watches.

 Watch Movement

Powering the watch is a Swiss made precision quartz movement. These are often favoured over a Chinese movement as they’re much more reliable and accurate. Quartz movements require very little maintenance as well.

Watch Size

The casing diameter of this watch is approximately 40mm with a thickness of 13mm. Overall this is a decent size for a men’s watch as larger watches have become increasingly popular lately.

Strap

The strap is made of stainless steel and has a width of 20mm which goes well with the casing size of 40mm. The strap fastens with a fold over push-button release style clasp, something I quite like as opposed to a standard click down.

Water Resistance Rating

This watch has a rather simple 30m water resistance rating. A 30m or 3 bar rating makes this watch suitable for everyday use. Splash/rain resistant. Not suitable for showering, bathing, swimming, snorkelling, water related work and fishing.

My Final Thoughts On This Rotary GB00350/04 Review:

Rotary are normally a very safe bet when it comes to quality and value for money, being one of the largest watch brands in the world has its advantages. Overall I’m I like the high visibility design, the watch is suitable for both casual or formal occasions in my opinion.

After looking into the watch design, quality, features, and pricing this watch received a 8/10 from us at The Watch Blog.
