The presidential look, on an honest Japanese automatic. A$329.

We spend it on the watch: a genuine Japanese movement, a sapphire crystal and 316L marine-grade steel. Every part named, nothing dressed up. Every watch inspected before dispatch.

The movement

Inside is a genuine Miyota 8285 Japanese automatic with day and date. Reliable, serviceable and honest about what it is.

What you get from me

Before it ships, I photograph your watch and send it to you. Not a stock photo of the model. The actual one going in your box.

If it turns up faulty, damaged in transit or not the watch you ordered, email me your order number and a photo and I will repair it, replace it or refund it, postage on me both ways. After that, the 1-year warranty covers the movement, crystal, case and dial.

Made to order

Your watch does not exist yet. It is built for you, which takes 2 to 4 weeks before it ships. Because I build it to the spec you choose, I cannot take it back just because you changed your mind, so ask me anything before you order and I will tell you straight.

Ready?

Add it to your cart and I will get it started.

Why it costs a fraction of the watch it echoes

Two things make a five figure watch five figures: what it is, and what it is called. The steel, the crystal, the movement, the dial work. That is the watch. The name, the boutique, the waiting list, a century of advertising. That is the rest. Rosevari builds the first part and leaves the second part out.

What happens after you order

Your build starts. Over the next two to four weeks your watch is assembled to the specification you chose and put through multi point QC. Before it ships you get photos of your finished watch. Yours, not a stock image. Then it goes out tracked and insured, wherever you are.

Yes. Every Rosevari carries a one year warranty against manufacturing faults in the movement, crystal, case and dial. Faulty, damaged or not as described within 30 days of delivery: we repair, replace or refund, and postage both ways is ours, anywhere in the world. After 30 days the warranty still covers you for the full year; you cover the postage to us. Australian customers also hold consumer guarantees under the Australian Consumer Law, which can last longer than any warranty.

Tell them what it is. A homage, with a genuine Seiko or Miyota movement inside, and you paid for the watch, not the name.

Yes. Homage watches are legal to buy, own and wear.

Not as standard. Every watch is splash-resistant: rain, hand washing and everyday wear are fine, swimming, showering and diving are not. If you want it swim-safe, choose Swim-Ready (5 ATM) on this page, or Dive-Ready (10 ATM) on Submariners. It is sealed during the build, so it has to be chosen when you order. With any water rating, screw the crown down tight before the watch goes near water: an unlocked crown is the most common way a watch floods, and that is not covered by the warranty.

Shipping is free worldwide, with no minimum, and every order is sent tracked and fully insured. Your watch is made to order, so allow 2 to 4 weeks to build before it ships. After dispatch, most orders arrive in about a week worldwide (allow up to 12 business days), or in 2 to 3 business days within Australia. You get tracking the moment it ships. If your country charges import duty or tax when it arrives, send us the receipt and we refund that amount.

Every watch is built to the specification you choose, so we do not take change-of-mind returns. If you change your mind before the build starts, email us within 24 hours of ordering and we cancel and refund in full, no questions asked. If it is faulty, damaged, the wrong model or not as described, you have 30 days from delivery and we cover postage both ways.

Because you are paying for the watch, not the name. Inside is a genuine Seiko or Miyota movement, under a sapphire crystal, in a 316L marine-grade steel case. What you are not paying for is a century of advertising and a jeweller's showroom.

Most of our cases run 36mm to 41mm, which suits the majority of wrists. Our sizing guide matches your wrist measurement to a case size, and if you are between sizes email us before you order and we will tell you straight.

Your watch, and a travel case with every order. Every watch is also covered by our online Owner's Manual: how to wind and set your movement, size the bracelet, and what the water rating really means.

One more thing, before you decide.

You have been looking at this one for a while. The watch it echoes sells for more than a hundred times this price, and a routine service on it costs more than this entire watch. This one has the movement named in the specs, and an answer you can give out loud when someone asks.
