Key Features

• High-Tech Ceramic Monobloc Case: The case is formed using Rado’s proprietary monobloc construction, where the entire structure is crafted from a single piece of high-tech ceramic. This method eliminates seams and joints, resulting in enhanced structural integrity, improved shock resistance, and a lighter overall weight. The seamless design also contributes to the watch’s sleek, modern silhouette, offering a smooth contour that feels comfortable and unobtrusive during extended wear.
• Scratch-Resistant & Hypoallergenic Material: Both the case and bracelet incorporate high-tech ceramic, renowned for its exceptional resistance to scratches and daily wear. This ensures the watch retains its polished black finish over time, even with regular use. Additionally, the material is hypoallergenic, making it suitable for individuals with sensitive skin. It resists irritation and maintains comfort, allowing for uninterrupted wear in any setting.
• Rado Calibre R734 Movement: At the heart of this timepiece lies the Rado calibre R734 automatic movement, a premium mechanism engineered for accuracy and reliability. It features an impressive 80-hour power reserve, meaning the watch can run for over three days without being worn—ideal for those who don’t wear their watch daily. The movement is assembled to Swiss standards, ensuring long-term performance and dependability.
• Nivachron Hairspring Technology: The inclusion of a Nivachron hairspring sets this watch apart in terms of everyday practicality. This advanced alloy is highly resistant to magnetic fields generated by common devices such as smartphones, laptops, and speakers. By minimizing the effects of magnetism, the movement maintains consistent timekeeping and reduces the likelihood of accuracy issues, ultimately lowering the need for frequent servicing.
• Black Rubber Bracelet with Ceramic Elements: The bracelet blends a flexible black rubber base with high-tech ceramic center links, creating a hybrid design that balances sporty functionality with refined style. The rubber ensures a soft, adaptive fit, while the ceramic links add durability and a premium tactile feel. The bracelet is adjustable and secure, suitable for active use as well as formal occasions, and complements the overall lightweight construction of the watch.
