This partnership is especially fitting given Rotary\u2019s historic connection to both the British Army and the development of wrist watches as a popular accessory,\u201d a statement from the company says.<\/h5>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>This is a fantastic tribute to those who fought, and those who were affected by The First World War, and is a great way to go above and beyond to show your support, with a portion of the profits going to supporting charity. The subtle yet striking characteristics of this watch make it a fantastic looking timepiece, but also allows it to act as a continuous reminder, or memory.<\/p>\n<p>You can take a closer look at the watch <a href=\"https:\/\/www.firstclasswatches.co.uk\/rotary-limited-edition-wwi-centenary-watch-britishlegion1-p-49959\/\">here<\/a>. and you can see our full range of Rotary <a href=\"https:\/\/www.firstclasswatches.co.uk\/rotary-watches-c-23\/\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-15460\" src=\"https:\/\/www.firstclasswatches.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Rotary-Charity.jpg\" alt=\"Rotary Charity\" width=\"838\" height=\"439\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.firstclasswatches.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Rotary-Charity.jpg 838w, https:\/\/www.firstclasswatches.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Rotary-Charity-300x157.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.firstclasswatches.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Rotary-Charity-768x402.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.firstclasswatches.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Rotary-Charity-750x393.jpg 750w, https:\/\/www.firstclasswatches.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Rotary-Charity-510x267.jpg 510w, https:\/\/www.firstclasswatches.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Rotary-Charity-360x189.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.firstclasswatches.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Rotary-Charity-120x63.jpg 120w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 838px) 100vw, 838px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Update!<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Following on from the successful release of the\u00a0WWI Centenary Watch, and a partnership with the Royal British Legion charity, Rotary watches have now announced that the limited edition timepiece has now sold out!
