One look at the new Captain Cook bronze burgundy dial is all it takes to understand the grandeur of this timepiece. Rado is proud to present its new version of the Captain Cook bronze with the much-awaited burgundy high-tech ceramic bezel.
It is not unusual for Rado to make such striking material combinations, and the ‘The Master of Materials’ once again plays with a modern material like high-tech ceramic and the oldest material created by men – bronze.
The result is a timepiece that enamours with its brushed bronze case, bronze turning bezel with burgundy high-tech ceramic insert and laser engraved numbers and markers.
The burgundy sunray brushed dial clearly contrasts against the yellow gold-coloured applied indexes, but blends easily with the classic red-date display from Rado.
Its indexes, numbers, hands and markers are all powered with Super-LumiNova® that allows clear visibility in the dark, and whose looks remain almost untouched from the 1962 original Captain Cook, giving it a natural vintage look. However, diverging from the original, this timepiece is powered with the 11½ Rado calibre 763 movement providing 80 hours power reserve.
Red tones are known to be the hardest to be replicated in ceramics, and even more, a challenge to be used in watches, that now the watchmaker from Lengnau can add to its many materials’ achievements.
The Captain Cook Bronze Burgundy fulfils all the requirements of a Rado watch, pioneering durable materials, striking design and high functionality that will last a lifetime.
