I’m not sure what’s going on at Rado, but it’s as if someone there has said ‘you know what we don’t have to make all our watches boring and black. Let’s funky things up a bit!’
Recent results have therefore been rather good. Witness this limited edition (300 piece) R-One as a prime example.
It’s a 34mm piece in black ceramic and titanium. There’s an AR-coated sapphire crystal and water resistance to 50 meters.
Inside you’ll find an automatic ETA caliber 2094 movement, with 33 jewels, 28,800 vph and a power reserve of 37 hours.
The strap is rubber with a titanium buckle.
Pretty good, no?
If I mention Rado what are the first thoughts that pop into your head?
With due apologies to Rado, I’ve always been a bit ‘meh’ about their super-thin watches.
