The adventure

The Captain Cook collection is a true ode to adventure. Rado has revived an iconic model while retaining the vintage details. Modern functions are added to this watch, making it the ideal watch for men who explore. For the first time, the chronograph is included in this legendary timepiece.

What's new

This model is equipped with a chronograph for the first time since 1962. The on-board movement powers five hands, including two sub-counters, for a power reserve of 59 hours. Its bronze case adds a vintage and noble touch to this emblematic watch with SuperLuminova treated Snowflake hands. This novelty is delivered with a NATO strap with a yellow stripe, a solid blue NATO strap and a leather strap that are easily interchangeable.

The Bronze

Bronze is an alloy between copper and tin, it was the material used in military decorations and medals. Over time, it oxidises, i.e. it gradually changes colour. This is a phenomenon of corrosion due to the permanent contact with the oxygen present in the air. This chemical reaction creates a unique patina that is specific to each watch. Tip : bronze cannot be polished and the patina cannot be cleaned.
