Established in Switzerland in 1895, Rotary Watches are a known purveyor of classic timepieces and are steeped in rich history. Now, watch fanatics are set to see the revival of one of their most iconic pieces.

Rotary Watches introduce the Limited Edition RW-1895 Chronograph, a refreshing revival of their beloved 1960s skin diver watch, the Aquaplunge. The 60’s classic has been elevated with contemporary flair and now incorporates an innovative meca-quartz movement.

The modern movement offers watch connoisseurs the reliability and accuracy they would expect from a contemporary model with the authentic vintage look of a classic. Combining the precision of quartz with a mechanical module for the chronograph, Rotary have awakened a prominent model from their past and redelivered it with efficiency reflective of watchmaking today.
