Heritage-Inspired Timepieces

Rado Announced the Captain Cook Chronograph in Three Colorways

Rado Switzerland announced the Captain Cook Chronograph watch as the newest addition to its Captain Cook series of heritage watches. The Captain Cook Chronograph runs off of an all-new R801 automatic movement that boasts a 59-hour power reserve and a time accuracy of +/- 5 seconds per day. The timepiece features scratch-resistant sapphire glass, illuminated Super-LumiNova markings, and water resistance of up to 300 meters.

In terms of design, the Captain Cook Chronograph is available in three distinct colorways. The watch comes in a silver and black colorway, a silver and blue color, or a premium blue and gold option. Each colorway features a standard design of a chromatic single-colored dial with silver or gold line markings. However, the gold version retails for approximately $1,000 USD more than the other two resulting from its use of premium materials.
