Key Features

• Swiss Automatic Movement (R764 Calibre): At the heart of this timepiece lies the R764 automatic movement, meticulously regulated in five positions for exceptional accuracy. Enhanced with a Nivachron™ hairspring—resistant to magnetic fields and temperature fluctuations—this movement ensures reliable performance over time. With an impressive 80-hour power reserve, the watch maintains precision even after days of non-wear, making it ideal for both daily use and occasional elegance.
• Premium Materials & Construction: The 38 mm case combines polished yellow gold-coloured PVD-coated Ceramos™—a lightweight, scratch-resistant composite material—with a matching stainless-steel middle case, offering a luxurious finish and robust structure. The use of Ceramos™ reflects Rado’s commitment to advanced materials, providing hypoallergenic properties and long-lasting brilliance. With water resistance up to 10 bar (100 metres), the watch is suitable for swimming and snorkeling, ensuring versatility in various environments.
• Distinctive Dial Design: The matt black concave dial is a masterclass in detail, featuring printed silver and blue minute tracks intersected by raised applied indexes at five-minute intervals. The 12 and 6 o’clock positions highlight the iconic sandblasted black gold-coloured moving anchor and the applied Rado logo, adding depth and brand recognition. A day and date guichet at 3 o’clock, rendered in Tej Chauhan’s custom font with vibrant neon paint accents, introduces a playful yet sophisticated touch to the design.
• Superior Legibility & Crystal Protection: Polished black and gold-coloured hour and minute hands, treated with white Super-LumiNova® for enhanced visibility in low light, are paired with a neon yellow-accented second hand for dynamic contrast. The entire display is shielded by a radial-faceted sapphire crystal, renowned for its scratch resistance and clarity, and further enhanced with an anti-reflective inner coating to minimize glare and improve readability under any lighting condition.
• Comfortable & Secure Strap: The watch is completed with a radical grey, pillow-shaped rubber strap that offers both comfort and a modern aesthetic. It is secured by a dark grey PVD-coated stainless steel extendable folding clasp, featuring a yellow gold-coloured cover and pushers engraved with “Rado x TC” inscriptions—a signature detail honoring the collaboration with Tej Chauhan. This clasp design ensures a secure fit while allowing easy adjustment for optimal wrist comfort.
