Design & Craftsmanship
The Warm Character of Living Bronze
Unlike standard steel watches, the Captain Cook Bronze reacts naturally with air, moisture, and wear to create a protective oxidation layer. Over time, each watch takes on an individual vintage character. The case back is crafted from hypoallergenic titanium to prevent skin discoloration and ensure long-term wearing comfort.
Master of Materials High-Tech Ceramic Bezel
The golden sunray dial is framed by Rado’s signature high-tech ceramic bezel insert. Harder than steel and completely impervious to fading or scratching, the ceramic insert locks in its brilliant finish forever, contrasting with the evolving warm tones of the bronze case.
Swiss Calibre R763 with Nivachron™ Hairspring
Inside beats the Swiss-made automatic Calibre R763. Fitted with an advanced titanium-based Nivachron™ balance spring, the movement resists magnetic fields from smartphones, laptops, and travel gear, ensuring reliable precision across an 80-hour power reserve.
