Rado Captain Cook bronce

Rado lanza este año una nueva versión de su emblemático reloj Captain Cook en bronce y cerámica

En los años 60, la mayoría de las marcas relojeras suizas tenían en su catalogo un modelo de buceo ya que este tipo de relojes marcaban la tendencia en quella época. No fue diferente para Rado que fabricó entre 1962 y 1968 el reloj Rado Captain Cook bronce que toma su nombre de un explorador del  siglo XVIII.

Versión ceramica

Relanzado en 2017, el Captain Cook se presenta en 2020 en una interesante versión de bronce y cerámica. Por lo tanto, este reloj de aspecto robusto combina el material más antiguo utilizado por el hombre con una material innovador y resistente que numerosas firman relojeras emplean para crear sus cajas.

Asimismo, el Rado Captain Cook bronce destaca por su estética donde predominan los tonos verdes y marrones. Está concebido para soportar el paso del tiempo. Su caja de bronce 42mm de diámetro lleva un bisel de bronce con incrustación de cerámica y un fondo de titanio.

Rado HyperChrome 1616

A new retro timekeeper for the adventure-minded man

(Lengnau, Switzerland – 2017) Pioneering Swiss watchmaker Rado is beefing up its vintage-inspired offerings. A colourful new limited edition model is being added to the bold, nostalgia-infused HyperChrome 1616 line-up.

Boasting an unmistakable late-60s build, the HyperChrome 1616 cuts a striking and masculine figure on the wrist. Measuring an eye-catching 46 mm across, its boxy dial is visually impressive, reminiscent of the outsized aesthetic of the era. The hands and indexes are similarly heavyset, forming a striking contrast to the vivid blue of the dial. The hardened grade five titanium case fastens to the wrist with a thick textured vintage leather strap, rounding out the look of this retro reedit.

Vintage revival
The HyperChrome 1616 is Rado’s modern interpretation of its vintage Cape Horn collection, first launched in the late 1960s. The name is taken from the year in which Cape Horn was discovered – a feat not to be underestimated, given the difficulty and danger of the sailing route. Thanks to the rugged construction and 10 bar water resistance of the HyperChrome 1616, this is a watch suitable for a wide variety of adventures, both on land and off.


Rado’s quest for unprecedented designs and materials began in the 60s and has continued unabated till this day. With its old-meets-new approach, the HyperChrome 1616 is the perfect embodiment of this mission. The nostalgic design of the watch is proudly rooted in the brand’s past – a clear nod to the general glory days of the 60s – while its oversized construction is a contemporary twist that reflects Rado’s boundary- pushing approach.

This new HyperChrome 1616 joins three other timekeepers in the collection – one hardened titanium counterpart with a light-coloured dial, as well as two high-tech ceramic pieces in black and brown, respectively.

Introducing the Rado HyperChrome Captain Cook collection

Reimagined retro timepieces for a contemporary folk hero look

(Lengnau, Switzerland – 2017) Swiss watchmaker Rado is continuing its retro revival with the relaunch of its vintage Captain Cook collection. A reinterpretation of a Rado watch collection from the 1960s, the new HyperChrome Captain Cook family offers a trio of timekeepers for men and women who want to pull off a hip casual look with style and whimsy.


The collection is named after 18th century British explorer Captain James Cook, who charted thousands of miles of hitherto unexplored coastline in the Pacific, bringing with him a wide-ranging, mostly self-taught knowledge of cartography, anthropology and astronomy. As a brand also known for its pioneering spirit and groundbreaking achievements, Rado is pleased to unveil this reimagined retro collection of sporty automatic timepieces that bear Captain Cook’s name.

Throwback timekeeping
Oversized indexes, chunky arrow-shaped hands, and a rotating bezel in high-tech ceramic and stainless steel or titanium combine to give the Captain Cook an unmistakably playful aesthetic. Two 37 mm models steal the spotlight with distinct masculine and feminine looks. The HyperChrome Captain Cook’s most ladylike iteration features a silvery, slightly raised dial studded with eight Top Wesselton diamonds. A white high-tech ceramic bezel and fine- knit metal Milanese band combine for a luxe yet sporty feel. The gent’s version boasts a darker colour scheme and a black high-tech ceramic bezel with a complementary brown vintage leather strap. In a nod to the launch year of the original Captain Cook collection, this gent’s timepiece is limited to 1962 pieces.


For an even bigger impact on the wrist, wearers can opt for the 45 mm model, which is sure to grab attention with its show-off size and unapologetically throwback approach to timekeeping. The pleasantly chunky case features a versatile blue colour scheme and fastens to the wrist with a comfortable black or blue textile strap.

The HyperChrome Captain Cook is the second watch family with a 1960s heritage that Rado has revived and reinterpreted in as many years. Last year saw the relaunch of Rado’s vintage Cape Horn collection, which was reborn as the oversized and ultra-masculine HyperChrome 1616.
