HANDLE THE HEAT

RADO HIGH-TECH CERAMIC

SWISS WATCHMAKER RADO has reaffirmed its position as definitive Master of Materials with its latest Captain Cook High-Tech Ceramic Skeleton timepiece.

“High-tech ceramic” is the brand’s signature material and this watch’s case, sublimated in a fiery environment where plasma temperatures reach roughly four times those found on the sun's surface.

Inside is a Rado automatic calibre R808 skeleton movement with smart new geometry and components shaded in different tones, to allow a distinct view of the various parts, in details well-known to fans of complex architecture or intricate mechanisms.

Special finishing touches include a new, horizontally-brushed platine and a rose-gold-coloured minute-wheel bridge, boldly visible inside that wider dial window that watch-lovers will appreciate, alongside the many chromatic contrasts.

The new Captain Cook High-Tech Ceramic Skeleton is a natural for the wrists of uncompromising explorers, in the wild or in urban settings, wishing to celebrate their own uniqueness in a world of intense action, passion and challenge.

The movement, equipped with an anti-magnetic and highly reliable NivachronTM hairspring, has been fully tested in five positions rather than the usual three, and provides up to 80 hours of power reserve.
