Rotary Regent Skeleton Automatic 40mm Mens Watch Skeleton
Ref. RGB10113/04
Sits in Rotary’s upper tier here — more premium than three quarters of the Rotary watches we list, which start at £74.
Price range £74 to £379 across 169 Rotary watches in stock.The Regent Skeleton is built around an octagonal case with a gunmetal PVD finish, its faceted edges catching light at sharp angles and throwing it down the length of the integrated bracelet — a deliberate visual chain that makes the whole piece read as one object rather than a case dropped onto a band. The skeleton dial strips away the usual canvas and lets the movement fill the space instead. A white minute track and outer flange hold the composition together without closing it off, and the applied indices give the hands a fixed reference against what would otherwise be a busy background. The exhibition caseback extends the same logic to the other side. At 48mm lug to lug, it sits with real presence on the wrist, though 12.2mm of case height keeps it from stacking too high under a cuff.

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 100m it is rated for swimming and snorkelling, though not for diving.
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 comparedIs it a men's or women's watch?
Listed as men's, though at 40mm it sits in the range that suits anyone.
Cheapest place to buy
Goldsmiths is the only UK retailer we track stocking this reference, so there is nothing to compare it against today.
