A high-spec sports watch with a glamorous rose gold color.
Rado has announced new color variations for its "Captain Cook High-Tech Ceramic Chronograph." This elegant chronograph watch combines blue, gray, and rose gold colors.
The deep blue dial features a design that combines wide indices and an arrow-shaped hour hand, characteristic of the "Captain Cook" series. A small seconds subdial is located at 3 o'clock, a 12-hour counter at 6 o'clock, and a 30-minute counter at 9 o'clock. The 12-hour counter's markings are somewhat understated, giving it a classic, almost two-counter appearance. The date display at 6 o'clock is seamlessly integrated into the indices. The anchor mark at 12 o'clock rotates depending on the watch's orientation.
The case, boasting 30 ATM water resistance, is made of Rado's signature plasma high-tech ceramic. The metallic gray finish, almost like metal, is not achieved through surface finishing, but by firing it at a high temperature of 1,450°C. The three-link bracelet is also made of plasma high-tech ceramic. The central link is polished, while the ends have a matte finish, creating a striking contrast.
The bezel, crown, and push buttons are finished with a rose gold PVD coating on stainless steel for a luxurious look. The bezel insert is made of ceramic. The crown and push buttons are screw-down.
The movement is the Cal.R801 automatic chronograph. It boasts impressive specifications, including a power reserve of approximately 59 hours and a Nivacron balance spring with excellent magnetic resistance.
