SQUARE VINTAGE RADO WATCHES PORTABLE

The exact opposite is true when considering the Rado True Square Automatic Diamonds.ДЄs mentioned, despite featuring identical monobloc ceramic case and bracelet, the True Square Automatic Diamonds leaves a vastly different impression on the wrist to the True Square Open Heart.

SQUARE VINTAGE RADO WATCHES PORTABLE

The integration of the case and bracelet gives the impression of them being a single feature of the watch, but are somehow separate from the dial, as though just a vehicle for a portable lesson in mechanical watchmaking. The bracelet integrated seamlessly into the case, and is also ceramic, with a steel double-folding clasp to secure it. The Rado True Square Open Heart features a 38mm square ceramic case, the black surface of which has been polished almost to a mirror finish. The movement is not only visible from the dial side of the watch, but also through the sapphire crystal caseback that allows you to see all the way through the watch. In pride of place at 12 oвЂ™clock is the most animated part of the movement, the balance wheel, energised by the balance spring that ticks at 21,600 vph. The caliber C07 has been adapted to have a longer power reserve, now running for a healthy 80 hours thanks to an improved mainspring that is visible under the dial bridge at the 5 oвЂ™clock position. Immediately beneath the dial is the automatic caliber C07, based on the famous Swatch Group workhorse movement, the ETA 2824-2. The corners of each bridge have been carefully faceted at a 45В° angle, showing the warmly toned metal that the dial is made from. The black bridges have also been thoughtfully arranged to run in from each hour marker to the centre of the dial, emphasising each hour marker and making the time easier to read as a result. To create real estate for the minute track, Rado logo and hand-stack, the dial has been skeletonised, with black bridges offering an antidote of order to the mechanical chaos of the movement below. While some openworked dials can appear garish, as though you are looking at something that wasnвЂ™t meant to be exposed, the True Square Open Heart dial has been sculpted to celebrate the architecture of the movement, rather than simply offering an immodest peek at an oscillating balance spring. Siblings in name and body, but watches that present two very different faces to the world.ДЇirst focusing on the Rado True Square Open Heart, and an immediate impression is made by the skeletonised dial. Not a beads-of-rice bracelet in sight.ДЄs we take a closer look at the Rado True Square collection, weвЂ™ll be focusing on two references that encapsulate the breadth of what the collection has to offer, despite how similar the specs might read on paper вЂ“ the True Square Automatic Diamonds and the True Square Open Heart. Ceramic cases that appear to be borderline liquid in their appearance, integrated bracelets and curious dials are what youвЂ™ll find here. The Rado True Square collection hails from this lineage within the family. But thereвЂ™s a part of the Rado family that watch enthusiasts might be less familiar with, a part that leaves the vintage design cues at the door and instead celebrates space-age materials with a contemporary flair. If itвЂ™s the rugged tool watch charm of the Captain Cook or the historically energised dimensions of the Golden Horse, Rado is probably best remembered in recent years for the watches inspired by the archives of the brand.
