A Sporty New Captain Cook For This Summer
A SPORTY NEW RADO CAPTAIN COOK DAZZLES WITH THREE DIFFERENT SUMMER LOOKS
When Rado relaunched its celebrated Captain Cook in 2017, it immediately captured the hearts – and found its way to the wrists – of watch aficionados around the world. That classic timepiece took its inspiration from the 37mm original, which was introduced in 1962, and the line has continued to evolve ever since. And now, just in time for summer in the northern hemisphere, the brand has launched a sporty new interpretation of the Captain Cook Automatic with a stunning blue-to-white gradient dial. It features an EasyClip system and is delivered with three different straps so wearers can adapt their watches’ look to their moods.
The newest member of the Rado Captain Cook family has been created to catch every eye in the room. And it will be a sparkling addition to every wrist on the court as the summer tennis season gets off to another rousing start. The watch has a polished stainless steel case and screw-down crown. The case is fitted with a polished stainless steel rotating bezel with a polished blue high-tech ceramic bezel insert with engraved hour markers and numbers in matt white Super-LumiNova®. It has a box-shaped sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating on both sides.
The striking blue-to-white gradient dial has silver applied indexes coated with Super-LumiNova®. Rado’s signature moving anchor symbol, in grey, is presented on a playful purple backplate. The timepiece has a blue-coloured flange with a dark yellow minute track. Its dial is rounded out with grey printed Rado and Captain Cook logos and, confirming the watch’s impressive water resistance, “300m / 1000ft”. The grey central hour and minute hands are treated with white Super-Lumi-Nova® and the tip of the central seconds hand features dark yellow Super-LumiNova® for excellent legibility in all lighting conditions.
The polished stainless steel case back has a sapphire crystal that offers a clear view of the Rado R763 automatic calibre at the heart of the watch. The superb mechanical movement, with its antimagnetic Nivachron™ hairspring adjusted in five positions, offers a power reserve of 80 hours.
This new Rado Captain Cook Automatic is a perfect summer gift for yourself or for someone you love: it is delivered in a blue leather pouch and has its own colourful wardrobe: along with the polished and brushed stainless steel bracelet with a titanium three-fold clasp, it comes with a blue and white textile Nato-style strap as well as a blue leather strap with a stainless steel extendable folding clasp. With three distinctive looks, it partners perfectly with whatever you’re wearing and is the perfect accompaniment to every adventure, whether on the court, by the pool, or in the heart of the city.
