Colorful Captains: The Rado Captain Cook Automatic Collection
One of Rado’s most popular releases of recent years is also one of its most “off the beaten path” in terms of design and theme: the Hyperchrome Captain Cook, based on a heretofore obscure 1960s diving watch and eschewing Rado’s more modernist aesthetics in favor of a vintage-retro look. The latest expansion of the Captain Cook family, however, might look a little more familiar to longtime Rado enthusiasts, defined by ultra-modern materials and vibrant colorways. Here is a rundown of the three models in the Captain Cook Automatic collection.
The Rado Captain Cook Automatic is available in three new colors.
The case diameters of the new models, at 42 mm, elegantly splits the difference between the somewhat modest, historically faithful 37-mm and rather hefty 44-mm versions of the Captain Cook. The cases and rotating divers’ bezels are in polished stainless steel, with the bezels equipped with inserts made of high-tech ceramic inlays ? in either polished black, polished blue, or, in the case of the most eye-catching new reference, polished green ? that match the colors of the dials. The dive scale on the bezels is composed of laser-engraved and metallized numerals and indices. The cases are water-resistant to 2oo meters, with a solid caseback stamped with three seahorses, a suitably aquatic motif established by earlier Rado dive watches. The dial-matching bezels are made of high-tech ceramic.
The Rado anchor emblem appears on the crowns.
