Rado's fan base has grown with time. It has left an indelible impression on all generations, regardless of age or gender. Its watch collection represents its legacy. To meet the purchasers' increased expectations, automatic chronograph watches have progressed greatly with modern style and specialized features. The Captain Cook collection from the well-known company is one such example.
Rado's Captain Cook line is the brand's latest offering for all classic watch collectors. The collection's all-new famous clocks are worth acquiring because of their excellent characteristics.
Rado Captain Cook Watch
Rado's first diving watch was Captain Cook. It debuted in 1962 and made a tremendous impression, solidifying the brand's fame. The watch went on to become one of the brand's signature watches. The Captain Cook watch was designed for deep-sea divers, engineers, medics, and sportsmen, but it has since garnered supporters in many other fields.
Though the movement and technology have evolved, the brand's ambition to produce a watch that would be a true companion to its user for years to come remains at the core of the timepiece.
Design and Movement
This similar desire inspired the creation of the new Captain Cook Diver watches. The line has six new additions. Despite minor design variances, all versions are equipped with a Rado R763 movement and have a power reserve of up to 80 hours. Furthermore, the models have a Nivachron anti-magnetic hairspring, which increases the watches' endurance.
Even more amazing, the clocks are ISO 6425 certified, a first for Rado, and have a water resistance of up to 300 meters (30 bars).
Rado, known for its tremendous technological know-how, has given these watches a 43 mm monobloc case, contributing to the design's structural integrity. In addition to the easy-grip bezel, the timepieces include:
- A box-shaped anti-reflective crystal.
- Big Superluminova hands and indexes.
- A date aperture at 3 o'clock.
Finally, all versions have a titanium case back imprinted with Rado's two seahorses motif.
