Rado Captain Cook

Details

Stainless steel case diving watch by Rado (1962-68), with an concave bezel and (originally) grey sunburst dial.

Overall Condition:

The watch is in good conditions for its age and use. The main thing here being the tropical patina of the dial which was originally grey as mentionned in “Details” but has turned into a crazy shiny dark/gold/caramel tone. The patina on hands also matching, has toasted. There is a small loss in the arrow hour hand. Rotating bezel is in satisfying conditions, case has never been polished. Caseback is beautiful with its crisp seahorses making love in the depths.
