Rado’s latest creation, the Captain Cook High-Tech Ceramic Skeleton, is the embodiment of innovation and style.
This watch, a testament to Rado’s expertise, introduces a dazzling skeleton design that proudly showcases the brand’s innovative R808 movement, a marvel of contrasts, craftsmanship, and clever geometry. Available in various finishes and Captain Cook models, the R808 movement now headlines the “Art of Skeletonisation” series at Rado, offering collectors an opportunity to own a truly distinctive timepiece.
Captain Cook High-Tech Features
The Rado Captain Cook watch features plasma high-tech ceramic that fuses style, reliability and precision for a unique timepiece that stands the test of time. The watch’s plasma high-tech ceramic case is not only visually striking but also exceptionally durable. This material offers incredible surface resistance and showcases deep anthracite shades. Complementing the case is a matching plasma high-tech ceramic bracelet, with lighter-shade links down the center. The monobloc case features a superb matte finish, and a circular-brushed plasma high-tech ceramic bezel insert mirrors the tones of the case and outer bracelet links.
Inside, the Rado automatic calibre R808 skeleton movement stands out with its smart geometry and components shaded in various tones. With an anti-magnetic and highly reliable NivachronTM hairspring, it has undergone rigorous testing in five positions, providing up to 80 hours of power reserve. The perfect accompaniment for any adventure, whether exploring the wilderness or moving through everyday life.
Captain Cook High-Tech Design
Within the sport-chic rotatable bezel, a warm and bright rose-gold-colored index ring adds a touch of contrast. The Captain Cook’s signature box-shaped sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating on both sides now carries a lightly smoked tint, perfectly harmonizing with the watch’s mysterious appeal. The subtle plasma grey and rose-gold-color accents continue to captivate. On the flip side, a titanium case-back also features a sapphire crystal, allowing a clear view of the movement and core components. The screw-in crown proudly displays the iconic Rado anchor symbol.
Rado once again demonstrates its mastery of materials with the creation of this watch. The dial’s intentional spartan design showcases simple geometric indices and hour, minute, and second hands. When necessary, Super-LumiNova™ is applied to enhance readability in low-light conditions. The signature Rado moving-anchor symbol features a deep-red background, accompanied by the logo, brand name, and water-resistance depth indications.
Functional and Stylish
The watch has a titanium triple-fold buckle and CeramosTM push-buttons, ensuring both functionality and style. It comes packaged in Rado’s standard packaging, making it a complete and elegant timepiece ready to adorn the wrist of those who appreciate watchmaking excellence. The Captain Cook High-Tech Ceramic Skeleton is a true masterpiece for those who seek a fusion of bold design, innovation, and uncompromising reliability in their timekeeping companion.
