Rotary has unveiled its latest Commando offering, an iteration kickstarted by the reinterpretation of an archival Rotary timepiece.
Its first Commando launch in years, each new model has a generous breadth of specs that include a stainless steel 40mm case and scratch resistant sapphire glass, a design which has resulted in the GB05475/19.
A unidirectional brush bezel is designed with a knurled edge for maximum efficiency, the watches are also water resistant to 100m and are installed with a 3 hand slim quartz that power a date window at 3 o’clock.
Influenced by mid-century stylings, the watch’s black dial showcases the beige Arabic numerals and cathedral hands that are finished with lume.
Designed as an accessory for dressier occasions as well as for the day, the watch has a sophisticated 3 link stainless steel bracelet.
A sister watch, the GB05475/52 boasts a near identical design and spec, save for a more contemporary-looking blue dial with white hands and indices.
Through the GS05475/56 and GS05475/48, the new collection also introduces Rotary’s venture into NATO straps, a natural design feature for a military-inspired launch because it their durable easy-care material, army heritage and comfort.
The sweat-resistant NATO strap slips beneath the watch’s case, providing padding between the metal and wrist that makes it ideal for warmer temperatures.
The GS05475/56 is designed with a green dial and strap (a stylish nod to the Commando’s military roots) whilst the GS05475/48 is a grey alternative that offers a versatile and subtle look.
