Design & Craftsmanship
The Art of Bronze Patination
Unlike standard stainless steel, the Captain Cook Bronze reacts organically with air, moisture, and daily wear to form a protective oxidization layer. This process creates a vintage look unique to each wearer. The case back is engineered from hypoallergenic titanium, preventing direct skin contact with the bronze for maximum comfort.
Master of Materials Ceramic Engineering
The smoked burgundy dial is framed by Rado’s polished burgundy high-tech ceramic bezel insert. Far harder than stainless steel and completely impervious to UV fading or surface scratches, the ceramic retains its rich colour forever, contrasting with the evolving warm tones of the bronze case.
Swiss Calibre R763 with Nivachron™
Beneath the dial beats the Swiss-made automatic Calibre R763. Fitted with a titanium-based Nivachron™ hairspring, the movement resists magnetic fields from smartphones, laptops, and everyday electronic devices, ensuring long-term precision and reliability across an 80-hour power reserve.
