RADO Captain Cook Automatic (42mm) Green Dial / 3-Link Two-Tone Stainless Steel Bracelet

In order to always stay one step ahead, we need to look back into the past and learn from history. Rado’s Captain Cook collection is a part of their Tradition collection. Inspired by designs from the 1950s and 1960s, the models have kept distinctive vintage shape and colours. Improved to fit a modern aesthetic, the models from the Captain Cook collection are robust, reliable and hold a fragment of Rado’s history. 

After years of development, the brand has managed to combine its passion for premium materials with its fascination with the past and history. The brand’s vintage-inspired Captain Cook timepiece has been remade out of high-tech ceramic, one of the newest materials to be implemented in watchmaking. High-tech ceramic is extremely durable and hypoallergenic, making the new Captain Cook Hight-Tech Ceramic the perfect accessory for anyone and any time.
