Rado Captain Cook Ceramic Skeleton gets a green and gold Aussie update

When I hear ‘Rado’, two things immediately come to mind. The first thing is ceramic: Rado styles itself as the ‘Master of Materials’, the brand having introduced the world’s first scratchproof watch in 1962 as well as pioneering the use of high-tech ceramic in the 1980s. The second thing I think about is the Rado Captain Cook. Also making its debut in 1962, the Captain Cook was one of the world’s first modern dive watches. Boasting a unique angled bezel and oversized hour hand, it’s one of the most underrated dive watch designs out there, in my opinion at least. These days, I also increasingly associate Rado with skeletonised watches, with the Swiss brand’s expansive range featuring dozens of skeletonised, open-worked and open-heart timepieces literally. You can see where I’m going with this: the Rado Captain Cook High-Tech Ceramic Skeleton is all three of these things, brought together in a sporty, cohesive and eye-catching package. The latest iteration of this dive watch features a somewhat Australian green and gold look: a colour scheme Rado has dabbled in before. You beauty.

I have a captain Cook and love it. Only thing that annoys me is that it doesn’t have a lumed pip at 12. It’s not a dive watch.It’s a splendid dress watch!

Beautiful watch but the price is too high for a rado .paying 4500 usd for a rado is just insane .it is like buying a renault for the price of a ferrari
