Rotary RGB10005/04 Seamatic 300 GMT Automatic Bracelet Diver's Watch - W13306
Ref. RGB10005/04
Sits in Rotary’s upper tier here — more premium than three quarters of the Rotary watches we list, which start at £76.
Price range £76 to £349 across 152 Rotary watches in stock.The Seamatic 300 is Rotary's answer to a specific question: can a British heritage brand build a serious tool diver with a genuine GMT complication, at a size that reads as contemporary without tipping into oversized? The blue-on-blue bezel — rotating, two-tone — marks the 24-hour second timezone against a deep blue dial without the brasher contrast of the red-and-blue pepsi arrangement, which suits a watch that is trying to be useful rather than conspicuous. At 14mm thick for a 300-metre-rated case, this is not a slim watch, but it is not the slab that depth ratings of this kind usually demand either. The jubilee bracelet softens what could otherwise read as pure sportswear, and a 42mm case at that lug width sits with enough presence to carry the bezel without overwhelming a mid-sized wrist.

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?
Yes. At 300m it is rated for swimming, snorkelling and recreational diving.
Will the glass scratch?
Unlikely. Sapphire is second only to diamond in hardness and shrugs off everyday marking.
Does it need a battery?
No. It is automatic — the motion of your wrist winds it, and there is no cell to replace.
Is it a men's or women's watch?
Listed as men's.
