Rado Captain Cook Automatic watch Blue dial Steel Bracelet

The new Captain Cook Bronze range is part of the excitingCaptain Cook collection , which includes watches inspired by original Rado timepieces from the 1950s and 1960s. Bronze is a beautiful, eye-catching material that is particularly appealing when contrasted with the green, blue and brown accents of our Captain Cook watches.

Unlike our high-tech materials, bronze evolves over time, developing a patina that makes it unique to each wearer. Depending on the wearer's habits and the climate in which they live, bronze can become slightly darker or much darker. In either case, each piece will be truly unique to the wearer. This unique quality will appeal strongly to some wearers, but not to others.

An additional feature of Captain Cook bronze watches is a very thin layer (3 microns) of 23-carat gold plating. This is designed to prevent patination between the time the watch is produced and the time it reaches the customer's wrist. This plating will disappear over time and the wearer's own color will begin to appear.

In rare cases, bronze watches that repeatedly come into contact with water may develop a greenish appearance. If this happens, the watch can be cleaned at a Rado service center without any lasting effects. We suggest that the watch be exposed to water as little as possible, and that it be dried with a soft cloth if wet.
