To add the final touch to this eye-catching color scheme, Rado equipped its Captain Cook Bronze Burgundy team with a matching NATO textile strap with a golden central stripe in burgundy.
Please note that with the passage of time, the case will inevitably appear bronze and the color will darken, so make this watch more cautious. In addition, the combination of Burgundy red wine with the golden tone of the bronze case and dial is cool and novel. Although the previous models mainly played in cool dark colors, the new Burgundy version is undoubtedly the most eye-catching of the four, bringing brightness and warmth to the work. The three existing models (blue, green or gray/brown) are quite subtle in terms of color.
#Vintage rado chronograph with anchor series
At the end of this year, the series added a striking golden bronze case, burgundy dial and bezel.
Of course, the latter is made of ceramic. Earlier this year, Rado introduced its retro-style diver into an attractive and trendy sub-series, which consists of three bronze models, colored dials and bezels. Finally, there is an important little detail, at 12 o’clock there is a rotating anchor logo-a pendulum used to animate the dial.Īll these elements were reinvigorated in 2017 with the first redefinition of Captain Rado Cook and all the watches in the subsequent series. The dial stands out for its brushed gray surface, large lacquered hour markers and arrow-shaped minute hands. It has an original combination of curved shapes with a bowl-shaped, concave inwardly inclined bezel, a dome-shaped crystal and a dome-shaped dial. Technically classic (automatic movement, 220m water resistance, date and time display, 60-minute diving bezel), this design really makes this model unique. The watch was released in 1962 with a 37 mm case and was named after the British explorer Captain Cook. In addition to the green, gray/brown and blue models, Rado today also released a new eye-catching version: Captain Cook Bronze Captain Burgundy.Īs this article explained on the previous Captain Cook bronze watch, the watch was inspired by a glorious and remarkable watch produced by the brand during the golden age of diving watches. Inspired by the unique case/bezel design of the work in 1962, Captain Cook released several iterations, such as the compact 37mm limited edition, and recently released some enlarged but very attractive bronze versions. It also benefits from its long history and has reintroduced several historically significant watches. Rado is largely related to the use of high-tech ceramics. Since 2017, Rado has found a market in fashionable vintage watches with its successful Captain Cook model. Dial restoration is done only based on customer’s request and to preserve originality.The bold original colors of Rado’s cool bronze diver. Here are some of the watches which was restored by me. Please note that I have spares in my inventory for majority of the vintage watch movements including rare one’s which are obsolete watch movements and watch parts which are impossible to find in the market. Over 48 years of hands on experience in servicing high grade movements listed below. Reading it may sound easy but practically, its nearly impossible unless you have hands on experience handling these movements. It goes through a 3 stage cleaning process (including ultrasonic cleaning) and again assembled back to their position. The picture you see above is a typical chronograph movement which literally has more than 100 parts to function and when I say overhauling, its not soaking them completely in a cleaning solution, instead I dismantle each and every part.
