| Case Diameter | 40.0 mm | Versatile / Standard Gents Frame |
| Case Thickness | 11.5 mm | Substantial Retro Profile Presence |
| Lug Width | 20.0 mm | Standard Strap Interchangeability |
Table 5 Analysis: Selecting the correct case diameter is critical for ergonomic balance. We utilize digital calipers in our Totnes boutique to ensure a precision fit of ±0.05mm on bracelet sizing, preventing "case wobble" and ensuring the watch remains centralized during daily use.
6. Authority: H.E. Phillips vs National Marketplaces
| Service Attribute | H.E. Phillips (Authority) | National Online Marketplaces |

4. Why buy from an independent specialist in Devon?
Buying from our independent Totnes boutique guarantees face-to-face accountability, professional on-site bracelet sizing, and verified factory warranties that online platforms skip.
2. Movement & Mechanical Logic
5. What movement is in the RGS10014-06?
The Heritage Sherlock houses a precision automatic mechanical caliber, utilizing an internal oscillating weight to wind the mainspring via natural wrist motion.
6. Does this watch require a battery?
No, this timepiece operates completely free of electrical cells. It stores kinetic energy mechanically within a spring drum, preventing battery leak hazards entirely.
7. What is the power reserve of the Heritage Sherlock?
It provides a 42-hour autonomous power reserve when fully wound, meaning you can leave it off the wrist overnight without losing synchronization.
8. How accurate is the automatic calibre?
The standard mechanical caliber runs between -20 and +40 seconds per day. Our on-site workshop tests every watch on a digital timing graph before collection.
3. Materials & Metallurgy
9. What grade of stainless steel is the case?
The entire watch chassis is forged from marine-grade 316L stainless steel, specifically selected for its outstanding defense against sweat and saltwater pitting.
10. What is the specific gravity of the 316L steel?
The material base has a specific gravity of 8.00 g/cm³, ensuring the watch has an authentic, high-quality mass allocation that balances perfectly on the arm.
11. Is the case hypoallergenic for sensitive skin?
Yes, 316L surgical steel features an incredibly low carbon content that keeps nickel bound safely inside the matrix, matching UK REACH skin safety rules.
12. What is the Vickers Hardness of the case?
The polished 316L case achieves a surface hardness of 200 to 240 HV on the Vickers scale, resisting everyday abrasions effectively over time.
4. Crystal & Dial Features
13. What glass crystal is used on the Heritage RGS10014-06?
The model is upgraded with a box-profile synthetic Sapphire crystal, offering a classic bubble shape combined with modern premium scratch resistance.
14. How hard is sapphire glass technically?
Synthetic sapphire is rated at 2200–2300 HV, or 9 on the Mohs scale, meaning it can only be scratched by direct friction from diamonds or silicon carbide.
15. What is the dial design of the Heritage series?
The Sherlock features an archival crosshair sector design on a matte silver background, recreating mid-century vintage layouts with modern production tolerances.
16. Are the hour markers applied or printed?
This model features clean, applied indices alongside printed track segments, which adds visual depth and crisp legibility under shifting daylight environments.
5. Water Resistance & Aftercare
17. Is the Heritage Sherlock RGS10014-06 waterproof?
It carries a 5 ATM (50 Metres) structural rating. This provides total safety against rain, dishwashing, and splashes, but swimming is strictly discouraged.
18. What does 50m water resistance technically mean?
It indicates static laboratory pressure testing at 5 atmospheres. It does not mean you can dive 50 meters deep, as movement adds dynamic pressure spikes.
19. How often should an automatic watch be serviced?
We advise a full horological breakdown, cleaning, and gear train re-lubrication every 5 years to protect steel pivots from dry friction wear.
20. Can you repair Rotary watches locally?
Yes, our independent Totnes workshop performs gasket refreshes, bracelet fixes, and precision timing calibration locally using 25 years of workshop experience.
