Key Features
- Polished Stainless Steel Case and Crown (42mm): The 42mm case is meticulously crafted from polished stainless steel, offering a sleek and robust structure that resists wear while maintaining a lustrous finish. The matching stainless steel crown ensures smooth operation for time adjustments and enhances the watch’s cohesive, premium appearance. This durable construction provides excellent resistance to corrosion and daily wear, making it suitable for active lifestyles.
- Rotating Bezel with Blue High-Tech Ceramic Insert: The watch features a polished stainless steel rotating bezel fitted with a polished blue high-tech ceramic insert, known for its scratch resistance and vibrant color retention. The bezel is engraved with white Super-LumiNova® numbers and markers in a matt finish, ensuring clear visibility in dark environments. This functional bezel allows for tracking elapsed time, adding both utility and sporty elegance to the design.
- Rado Calibre R763 Automatic Movement: Powered by the in-house Rado calibre R763, this self-winding mechanical movement delivers exceptional accuracy and reliability. With an 80-hour power reserve, the watch remains operational for over three days without being worn, minimizing the need for frequent winding. This movement reflects Swiss engineering excellence and ensures long-term performance for the discerning wearer.
- Super-LumiNova® Treated Hands: The rhodium-colored hour and minute hands are coated with white Super-LumiNova®, providing bright, long-lasting luminescence in low-light conditions. The central seconds hand features a distinctive yellow Super-LumiNova® tip, a playful and functional detail inspired by the color of tennis balls. This design element not only enhances readability but also pays homage to the Captain Cook’s sporting heritage.
- Multiple Strap Options Included: The watch comes with a stainless steel bracelet for a classic, integrated look, along with a blue leather pouch for storage and travel. Additionally, buyers can choose from two alternative strap options: a classic blue leather strap for a refined, dressy appeal, or a blue and white NATO-style textile strap for a sporty, casual aesthetic.
