Rado Boosts Captain Cook Collection With Six New High-Tech Ceramic Diver Watches
Attaining dive watch ISO certification for the first time.
Rado has created six new versions of its Captain Cook dive watch in its High-Tech Ceramic material.
The 43mm watches – which are presented in black, gunmetal and olive shades – are also the first from Rado to qualify for ISO 6425 dive watch certification thanks, in part, to a water resistance of 300M.
Black and olive models feature matte lacquer dials and are available on either color-matched High-Tech Ceramic bracelets or rubber straps, while the gunmetal option is available only on a matching bracelet with a choice of grey or blue sunray brushed dials.
The dials feature a date window at the three o’clock position with red numerals, hands, indices and bezel numerals treated with Super-LumiNova and a glassbox crystal inside its raised bezel.
The Black and Gunmetal bracelet watches feature a mix of both matte-finish High-Tech Ceramic elements and midlinks of High-Tech Plasma Ceramic, which has the appearance of polished metal, while the Olive watches are entirely matte.
The new watches feature hardened stainless steel bezels with brushed ceramic inserts, screw down titanium casebacks and Rado R763 movements with anti-magnetic Nivachron hairspring and 80-hour power reserve.
The Captain Cook High-Tech Ceramic Diver collection is available now via Rado, with prices starting at $3,000 USD.
