RADO CAPTAIN COOK – 37 & 42 MM
This is rare: A press release without unnecessary “verbosity” and with real information content that you can quote with a clear conscience. So instead of sober data, here is the original information:
Rado presents two current versions of the Rado Captain Cook Automatic – a limited version for fans of the original retro look with a 37 mm case diameter and models with the modern dimensions of 42 mm. The collection is based on a watch model from 1962 and combines its appearance with current design elements: the concave rotating bezel is decorated with an inlay of black, blue, green or brown high-tech ceramic, combined with color-coordinated domed dials.
