Rotary GS02941/03 Greenwich Automatic Brown Leather Strap Watch - W13137
Ref. GS02941/03
Sits in Rotary’s upper tier here — more premium than three quarters of the Rotary watches we list, which start at £97.
Price range £97 to £329 across 160 Rotary watches in stock.The Greenwich sits at the more theatrical end of Rotary's catalogue — a skeletonised automatic where the gold PVD finishing runs through the case and down into the movement itself, so the visible mechanism reads as part of the design rather than an afterthought. Roman numerals and Breguet-style hands keep the dial in a classical register, which stops the openworked centre from tipping into the merely showy. At 11.4mm the case is slim enough to wear without presence becoming bulk, and 42mm in gold PVD reads warmer than the same size in steel. The brown leather strap reinforces that warmth and will develop its own character over time in a way no bracelet will.

Learn more about Rotary
Moise Dreyfuss started Rotary in La Chaux-de-Fonds in 1895. Within a generation his sons Georges and Sylvain had opened a London office and begun exporting to Britain, which turned out to be the decision that defined the company: Britain became, and remains, Rotary's most important market.
The winged wheel logo arrived in 1925 and has barely changed since. It became familiar enough in British high streets that the brand is widely taken for British, despite the Swiss origin.
Rotary supplied watches to the British Army, and the wartime and post-war association gave it a foothold in a market where an affordable, dependable Swiss watch was exactly what most buyers wanted.
The family held the company for over a century, making it for a long time the oldest family-owned Swiss watchmaker still trading. Ownership passed to Hong Kong's Citychamp in 2014, and in February 2025 to the UK's Peers Hardy Group.
The modern range sits at the accessible end — quartz and automatic dress watches, divers and chronographs, with the Henley, Windsor and Legacy lines carrying the collection.

Frequently asked questions, and things you should know about this watch
Can I swim with it?
Showering yes, swimming no. 50m covers splashes and brief immersion, but a swimming stroke generates well above the pressure that figure describes.
Water resistance explainedWill the glass scratch?
Unlikely. Sapphire is second only to diamond in hardness and shrugs off everyday marking.
Sapphire, mineral and acrylic comparedDoes it need a battery?
No. It is automatic — the motion of your wrist winds it, and there is no cell to replace.
Quartz, automatic and solar comparedHow long does it run for when it's not worn?
About 40 hours fully wound — enough to survive a night off the wrist, but not a full weekend.
Is it a men's or women's watch?
Listed as men's.
