The Rotary name has built up over the last 103 years and has a reputation for building high quality, affordable watches for the masses. 2008 is a year that is set to see Rotary watches take a step back in time to celebrate the history of its company and to recreate some of the watch designs that have made a special place in the public's hearts.
Over the past 103 years there have been, as in all other industries, large numbers of advancements in the technology used to power the watches that we wear today and to create the metals that are used to house the movements that power these watches. This new range of watches quite aptly named the Heritage range by Rotary, aims to put all of these new advancements into watch designs of by gone eras. This unique blend of past and present by Rotary will celebrate the history of the company and will, they hope, engage the consumer enough to buy into this trip down memory lane. They also hope that this will place the Rotary brand into the minds of the younger generation who have become so familiar with other brands such as D&G, Fossil and Guess.
In keeping with the theme of Heritage, Rotary has also launched a small selection of automatic men's watches all of which adhere to the Heritage look and style. Rotary have revisited some of the old favourite designs from the 60's and 70's like the moon phase dial found in the GS02377/01. Rotary have also recreated the timeless skeleton dial which can be seen in the GS02517/21 which really does owe a lot of its design and style to classical watches of the past. The Classical heritage look continues throughout the Rotary watch range.
Rotary have chosen one of the best times to re-introduce some of these oldtime classics. Retro fashion is bang on trend this year with smart casual being the look to go for. The classical nature of the Rotary brand as well as the look of these heritage watches is what will drive fashion watch followers to Rotary over the next year. Rotary's keen pricing will also make many fashion followers much more accepting of wearing a Rotary watch rather than choosing to buy from one of their competitors. Rotary have also launched a range of quartz Heritage watches, the majority of the new watches are aimed at the men's watch market. Watches likes of the new GS02426/09 are style right out of the 1950's and are perfect for 2010 fashion trends. Rotary also added a brand new range of chronograph watches like the GS90020/02 which again looks like it has come straight of a 1950's movie.
2010 looks to have been a renaissance year for the Rotary watch brand. Rotary watches had been one of the biggest losers in the battle against the designer watch companies, losing market position and losing ground on its traditional rivals such as Tissot and Seiko. But this seasons Geek Chic fashion trend, some may say luckily coincided with Rotary watches expansion of a Heritage range has once more placed Rotary watches back on the wrists of both younger and older generations alike. Finally Rotary watch designers have tuned into to what not only the younger generation want but what Rotary watches traditional market wants and this can only be good news for the Rotary watch company this Christmas.

This is a really big timepiece . When I got it and opened the box I loved the way the face looked its different and great looking . Works fine and looks great and its pretty comfortable for such a big watch .
This watch is branded after the famous 'Swiss Raid Commando' military competition held annually in Switzerland and France since 1986 of which Wenger is a sponsor. The watch features the SRC logo on the obverse in color along with the French language motto "Vouloir, Croire et Oser", which translates in English to "Want, Believe and Dare". This branding may be important to a special ops soldier, military veteran or collector, but it should be understood that such branding comes with a price premium.
PROS:
Overall the watch has a heft and feeling of quality and refinement, it should prove quite satisfying for those looking for a unique style military piece. The stainless steel case is coated in black via Physical Vapor Deposition, or PVD which bonds to the steel on a molecular level, meaning no chipping or flaking and high resistance to scratching (as are the crown and two activators). The mineral crystal is slightly domed and without flaws. The screw back is non-coated stainless with the SRC color logo inset at center and encapsulated in what appears to be mineral crystal. On the back is also the lightly etched Wenger logo and specs.
*The face of this watch is the draw for many; a large clean, crisp dial in "nuclear green" with three sub-dials in the same hue. The watch is quite readable at most angles although the rather large arrow point hour/minute hands can obscure the sub-dials. If you want something strikingly clean and purposeful, this is it.
*The luminance of the dial at night is astonishing! Every detail is visible in the dark after just a couple hours of sun. If the watch is exposed to sun (even overcast, winter skies in the Northeast US) it will be visible throughout the darkest, moonless nights. I have never owned a watch with this ability.
*The rubber(*) strap is substantial and comfortable.
*The 30 minute/12 hour chronograph is intuitive and accurate. The lap time feature is easy to use.
CONS:
You can easily buy a watch with the same quality and more functions for less money. Without the SRC branding, unique style dial and Swiss caveat this watch would be priced 0 less.
*I am a fan of the accuracy of battery-quartz watches, but there is no excuse for selling one at this price point without a solar recharging system similar to Citizen's Eco-Drive. I purchased this Wenger despite the fact that one day in the near future I know it will stop working and I will have to take it to a jeweler for an expensive battery replacement/resealing. The Japanese have figured out how to do this, why haven't the Swiss?
*Lacking a screw down crown and only certified to 10atm is a bit lackluster for a 0+ watch branded to a rigorous military competition. I would be highly dubious of jumping into a lake or snorkeling with a watch lacking a screw-down crown. I own two Citizens (one titanium) rated to 20atm with the same features plus solar and screw crowns costing 0 less. Once again, the Swiss need to catch up.
*The crystal is neither sapphire nor non-reflective, add to that its slight dome and I wonder how long before an unsightly scratch? A rugged military time piece of this price should have a sapphire crystal.
*While the rubber(*) band is comfortable and thick, it's also quite gummy. Time will tell how durable it is but it seems as though if pulled too hard over time it might harden and separate. Once again I feel a military branded piece such as this should have been given a more durable band.
SUM UP:
While this Wenger is a quality watch and has some collector appeal, its main selling point is appearance, not function or economy. There are dozens of watches which perform the same functions with similar or better quality at a much lower cost. But if you're a sucker for a striking "nuclear green" on black watch which will perform perfectly until the battery runs out, then you'll buy one just as I have and enjoy it in the dark!
(*)It is unclear whether the band material on this watch is organic rubber or silicone rubber. The Wenger site states that the band of this watch is "rubber" while using the term "silicon" for bands on other watches. This is an important distinction and one which Wenger should clear up.
