The model features a blue and gold color scheme and incorporates details related to cricket.

"Captain Cook," featuring a cricket pitch and ball, has been released.
To commemorate its appointment as an official timing partner of European Cricket, which is responsible for promoting cricket and managing tournaments throughout Europe, Rado has announced the "Captain Cook x European Cricket Special Edition." Based on a blue and gold color scheme, this collection features details inspired by cricket pitches, wickets, and balls throughout.
The blue gradient dial is inspired by a cricket pitch viewed from above, expressing the brand identity of European Cricket. The blue deepens towards the outer edge, leading to a polished blue high-tech ceramic bezel insert.
Automatic movement (Cal. R763). 25 jewels. Power reserve approximately 80 hours. Stainless steel case (43.0mm diameter, 16.2mm thickness). 300m water resistance. 453,200 yen (tax included).
The three gold-colored dots above the Rado logo are inspired by the three stamps that make up a wicket, placed behind the hitter. Furthermore, the minute markers on the outer edge of the dial incorporate a design reminiscent of the stitching on a cricket ball. The brand's iconic moving anchor has also been specially redesigned, resembling a cricket ball. And the backplate features a red color that evokes the leather of a cricket ball.
The case is made of polished stainless steel, with a rotating bezel, screw-down crown, indices, and hands in a yellow gold color. The case back is engraved with "OFFICIAL TIMING PARTNER EUROPEAN CRICKET" to commemorate this partnership.
Three types of "all-rounder" straps are included.
In cricket, there are players known as "all-rounders" who excel in both batting and bowling (the equivalent of pitching in baseball). This watch is inspired by these all-rounders, allowing you to change the styling to suit the occasion and your style by swapping out the bracelet and strap. It comes with three types of straps: a stainless steel bracelet with a yellow gold-colored PVD coating on the center link, a dark blue and gold NATO-style fabric strap, and a black rubber strap. The easy-clip system allows for quick and tool-free strap changes. A pouch for storing the straps is also included.
