Rado R32504205

The new Captain Cook Bronze range is part of our exciting Captain Cook collection, which features watches inspired by original Rado pieces from the 1950s and 60s. Bronze is a beautiful and eye-catching material that is particularly attractive when contrasted with the green, blue and brown accents on our Captain Cook watches.

In contrast to our high-tech materials, bronze changes over time and develops a patina that makes it unique to each wearer. Depending on the wearer's habits and the climate where they live, the bronze can become slightly darker or much darker. In either case, each piece will be truly unique to the wearer. This unique quality will appeal strongly to some wearers but not to others.

An additional feature of the Captain Cook bronze watches is a very fine (3 micron) layer of 23 carat gold plating. This is designed to avoid patination between the time the watch is produced and the time it reaches the customer's wrist. This plating will disappear over time and the colour that is unique to each wearer will begin to appear.

In rare cases, bronze watches that repeatedly come into contact with water can develop a greenish appearance. If this occurs, the watch can be cleaned at a Rado Service Centre with no lasting effects. We suggest that the watch is exposed to water as little as possible and is dried with a soft cloth if it does get wet.
