Rotary is harking back to its work with the British Army in the 1940s by releasing two limited edition watches for the 75th anniversary of VE Day.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Rotary said that one of its most important contributions to watchmaking was during the 1940s when, due to a shortage of British watchmakers, it was selected as an official supplier to the British Army.<\/p>\n

Marking a bumper 2020 for the brand, Rotary is also celebrating its own 125th anniversary this year.<\/p>\n

In honour of VE Day on March 8th, the brand is releasing two new titanium, military-inspired timepieces.<\/p>\n

Both self-winding, the watches come with a 42mm fully titanium case, flat sapphire glass, and are waterproof up to 100m.<\/p>\n

Limited to just 300 pieces, the GS05249\/04 with khaki canvas strap and sword & Ox feature hour hand comes at \u00a3249.<\/p>\n

The titanium-strap GB05249\/04, meanwhile, is also limited to 300 pieces and comes at \u00a3399.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
