RADO ratifies itself as the high-tech Swiss watchmaker to watch out for in 2022 with a heart-stopping six model strong collection; each with its own killer aesthetic that is guaranteed to rouse you from drudgery and into a world of vigor and vitality.
Introducing the new Captain Cook High-Tech Ceramic Diver in a muted olive for the rugged outdoorsman in us all!
Its 43mm in diameter case has been executed in a matt olive, high-tech ceramic with a monobloc construction. Water-resistance is 300 meters.
The case is topped with a matt hardened Stainless steel rotational diver’s bezel with a matt olive, high-tech ceramic inlay and engraved white lacquered dive-time scale in white Super-LumiNova.
Further diver’s features include: a circular, brushed, Titanium case-back with 2x stamped seahorses (recalling the 60s models) and engraved:
‘DIVER’S WATCH 300M’, a polished hardened Stainless steel, screw-down crown as well as a box-shaped Sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating on both sides. All watches in the collection come with ISO 6425 certification, a first for Rado.
Meanwhile a matt olive dial with applied indexes with white Super-LumiNova featuring Rado’s iconic moving anchor symbol in rhodium (with synthetic ruby back-plate) to match the handset.Btw speaking of outdoorsman, you could literally chop wood with that hour hand!
Powering the new Captain Cook High-Tech Ceramic Diver collection is the Rado caliber R763, automatic mechanical movement with 25 jewels, 3 hands, red printed date at 3 o’clock, 80hrs of power-reserve, antimagnetic Nivachron™ hairspring. This has been adjusted to 5 positions for a higher degree of accuracy.
The watches come on a matt olive green high-tech ceramic link bracelet with a Titanium 3-fold clasp or matt olive green rubber strap with a Stainless steel extendable folding clasp and matt hardened Stainless steel cover.MSRP is 3,300USD (bracelet) / 3,000USD (rubber).
Thoughts? While the Rado brand isn’t quite as aspirational as some of its Swatch stablemates who names have a whole lot more cache; it is fast (re)establishing itself as the master of modernism and all things ceramic.
These watches likely won’t have the same lasting appeal as their class Cpt. Cook shipmates but damn in this moment they so inticing.
My pick of the collection is this olive gem on rubber. How about you?
