Key Features
- Automatic Swiss Movement – The watch is powered by a self-winding mechanical movement, harnessing energy from the wearer’s motion to keep accurate time without a battery. This traditional mechanism offers a smooth sweep of the second hand and reflects Rado’s commitment to Swiss craftsmanship.
- Green Dial with Date Display – The deep green dial provides a striking visual contrast against the silver-tone hands and indexes, while the date window at the 3 o’clock position adds practical functionality for everyday use.
- Super Luminova Indexes – The hour markers and hands are coated with Super Luminova, ensuring excellent visibility in low-light conditions. This feature enhances readability during nighttime or in dimly lit environments, making it both functional and reliable.
- Two-Tone Bracelet – Crafted from stainless steel with PVD-coated yellow gold accents, the bracelet combines durability with a refined aesthetic. The alternating silver and gold links create a sophisticated look that complements a variety of styles and outfits.
- 30 Bar Water Resistance (300 meters) – Designed to withstand pressure equivalent to depths of 300 meters, this watch is suitable for swimming, snorkeling, and other water-based activities. It’s built to endure splashes, submersion, and recreational diving.
- 42.0 mm Round Case – The case size offers a balanced presence on the wrist—substantial enough to make a statement, yet comfortable for all-day wear. The round shape and polished finish contribute to its timeless appeal.

Benefits & Use Cases
This watch is engineered for men who value both form and function. Its automatic movement appeals to those who appreciate mechanical watchmaking and the tradition of Swiss horology. The green dial and two-tone bracelet make it a standout piece for formal occasions, business meetings, or evening events, while the robust construction and water resistance allow for confident wear during outdoor activities, travel, or water sports. The Super Luminova coating ensures you can always read the time, whether you’re in a dim restaurant or navigating at night. Thanks to its 300-meter water resistance, it’s suitable for swimming and snorkeling, though it’s not recommended for professional diving without verification of depth ratings. The bracelet is designed for comfort and durability, with a secure clasp that maintains fit throughout the day. This timepiece works well with both casual attire—like jeans and a button-down—and more formal ensembles, including suits and dress shirts.
