Rado continues to build upon its popular Captain Cook High-Tech Ceramic Skeleton series with the introduction of a striking new colorway: a combination of black and rose-gold PVD accents. This update brings a fresh, bold look to an already iconic model, blending the ruggedness of high-tech ceramic with the warmth of gold tones. Known for its innovation in materials and timeless designs, Rado delivers a timepiece that exudes both adventure and sophistication.
A New Aesthetic: Black Ceramic and Rose Gold
While the Captain Cook High-Tech Ceramic Skeleton has already made its mark, this new iteration (reference R32192152) brings a refined yet masculine twist with its matt black ceramic case and rose-gold PVD accents. The rose-gold-colored rotating bezel and crown offer a luxurious contrast to the dark ceramic base. This color combination is complemented by the laser-etched black high-tech ceramic bezel insert, with rose-gold lacquered markers for a crisp, clear display.
The watch also retains Rado’s signature box-shaped sapphire crystal, treated with an anti-reflective coating on both sides, providing an unobstructed view of the skeletonized dial.
Mechanical Mastery: The Rado Caliber R808
As with its predecessors, the new Captain Cook High-Tech Ceramic Skeleton is powered by the Rado Caliber R808 automatic movement. Featuring 25 jewels, an 80-hour power reserve, and the antimagnetic Nivachron™ hairspring, this movement is built for precision and reliability. The open-worked dial showcases the intricate inner workings of the watch, highlighted by rose-gold accents and Côtes-de-Genève decorations, adding to the timepiece’s elegance.
Thanks to the smoked sapphire crystal case back, the movement can be admired from both the front and back. The attention to detail, including the rose-gold-colored moving anchor symbol, makes this a piece that both collectors and horology enthusiasts will appreciate.
Functionality Meets Luxury
Designed for the modern adventurer, the Captain Cook High-Tech Ceramic Skeleton is as robust as it is elegant. With water resistance up to 30 bar (300 meters) and a durable, scratch-resistant matt black high-tech ceramic case, the watch is built to handle any journey. The ceramic bracelet, paired with a titanium three-fold clasp, ensures comfort and durability, offering a complete high-performance package.
Conclusion
The latest addition to the Captain Cook High-Tech Ceramic Skeleton series stands out with its new black and rose-gold execution, offering a fresh take on a classic Rado design. This watch combines cutting-edge materials, sophisticated aesthetics, and mechanical excellence, making it a must-have for both collectors and adventurers.
